CLEANING AND STORAGE

WARNING:
Do not let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic
parts. These chemicals may damage, weaken and destroy plastic, which may result in serious personal injury.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the unit when it is not in use. Please take this into consideration when storing the unit.
• Remove the battery from the unit.
• Slacken the chain if it was retensioned at operating temperature during cutting work. The chain contracts as it cools down. If it is not
slackened, it may damage the gearbox and bearings.
• Wipe the unit down with a damp cloth. Do not douse the unit with water. Do not use solvents or strong detergents. If preparing the unit
for long-term storage (three months or more), remove the chain and guide bar, then clean the unit thoroughly with a damp cloth. A firm-
bristled, non-wire, brush can be used to remove debris from the bar groove and assembly. When finished, reassemble the unit. Refer to
Removing/Replacing the Guide Bar and Chain.
• Spray the guide bar and chain with corrosion inhibiting oil.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
• Follow the Cleaning Instructions listed above.
• Attach the scabbard to the guide bar and chain.
• Store the unit in a dry, high and/or locked location, out of the reach of children and other unauthorized persons.
