MAINTENANCE

STORING THE PRODUCT

See Figure 23.

Clean all foreign material from the product. Store idle unit indoors in a dry, well-ventilated area that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.

n Always place the scabbard on the saw bar when transporting or storing the pole saw. The scabbard is a snug fit and must be attached very carefully due to the sharp teeth on the saw chain. This is best done by grasping the scabbard at one end, in the center portion of the scabbard, and carefully sliding it over the chain as shown. Use caution to avoid the sharp teeth of the chain.
