Transportation and storage

• Always store the chainsaw and fuel so that there is
no risk of leakages or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked flames from electrical equipment,
electric motors, relays/switches, boilers and the like.
• Always store fuel in an approved container designed
for that purpose.
• For longer periods of storage or for transport of the
chainsaw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be
emptied. Ask where you can dispose waste fuel and
chain oil at your local petrol station.
• The guide bar cover must always be fitted to the
cutting attachment when the product is being
transported or in storage, in order to prevent
accident contact with the sharp saw chain. Even a
non-moving saw chain can cause serious cuts to
yourself or persons you bump into with an exposed
saw chain.
• Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug and
activate the chain brake before storage or transport.
• Secure the product during transport.

To prepare your product for long-
term storage
1. Empty the fuel tank and chain oil tank in a well
ventilated area.
2. Store the fuel in approved cans in a safe place.
3. When using vegetable based saw chain oil,
dismantle and clean the saw chain and the groove in
the bar.
CAUTION: If you do not dismantle and
clean the saw chain and the groove in
the bar, there is a risk of the saw chain
oil oxidizing. This causes the saw chain
to get stiff and the bar tip sprocket to
become jammed.
4. Fit the guide bar cover.

Maintenance schedule on page 35 .
