20.1 Preparing for Transportation or Storage

WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury from unintended
activation or unauthorized use, switch off the chain saw,
engage the chain brake and remove the battery before
transporting the chain saw or putting it down. To reduce the
risk of injuries from the sharp cutters on the chain, always
cover the guide bar with the chain scabbard before
transporting or storing the saw.
To prepare the saw for transportation or storage:
► Switch off the chain saw, @ 17.2.
► Engage the chain brake, @ 15.1.
► Remove the battery, @ 16.2.
► Release the chain brake and loosen the chain.
► Re-engage the chain brake.
► Slide a chain scabbard over the guide bar so that it covers
the entire guide bar.
► If the battery or chain saw became wet during operation,
allow them to dry separately and completely before
charging or storing.
► Before using the saw, remember to re-tension the chain.
NOTICE
The chain contracts as it cools down. Failing to loosen the
chain after finishing work can damage the drive shaft and
bearings.
