CLEANING AND STORAGE

If you intend to store the chain saw and pole assembly for more than 30 days, it is recommended to
follow these steps:
1. Drain the oil tank after each use.
2. Remove and clean the guide bar and chain. Clean the guide bar and chain by soaking in a
petroleum based solvent or a mild soap and water mixture.
3. Dry the guide bar and chain.
4. Place the chain in container filled with oil to prevent it rusting.
5. Wipe a thin coating of oil over the surface of the guide bar.
6. Wipe off the outside of the chain saw body and the pole assembly. Do this with a soft cloth
dampened with a mild soap and water mixture.
7. Store the chain saw up high, in a dry, locked place that is out of the reach of children.
Replacing Saw Chain
Replace the chain when the cutters are too worn to sharpen or when the chain breaks. Only use the
replacement chain that is noted in this manual. Always include a new drive sprocket when replacing
the chain. This will maintain proper driving of chain.
