15 STORING A CHAIN SAW

Caution: never store a chain saw for longer than 30 days without
performing the following procedures. Storing a chain saw for longer than
30 days requires storage maintenance. Unless the storage instructions are
followed, fuel remaining in the carburettor will evaporate, leaving gum-like
deposits. This could lead to difficult starting and result in costly repairs.

Start the engine and let it run until the unit stops to remove fuel from carburettor.

several times to coat internal components. Replace spark plug.
Note: store the unit in a dry place and away from possible sources of
ignition such as a furnace, gas hot water heater, gas dryer, etc.
