STORAGE

WARNING:
Stop engine and allow
to cool, and secure the unit before storing or
transporting in a vehicle. Store unit and fuel
in an area where fuel vapors cannot reach
sparks or open flames from water heaters,
electric motors or switches, furnaces, etc.
Store unit with all guards in place. Position so
that any sharp object cannot accidentally
cause injury to passersby. Store the unit out
of reach of children.
Oil Holes
S Burring of guide barrails is a normal process
of rail wear. Remove these burrs with a flat
file.
S When rail top is uneven, use a flat file to re-
store square edges and sides.
S Before storing, drain all fuel from the unit.
Start engine and allow to run until it stops.
S Clean the unit before storing. Pay particu-
lar attention to the air intake area, keeping
it free of debris. Use a mild detergent and
sponge to clean the plastic surfaces.
S Donot store the unit orfuel in a closed area
where fuel vapors can reach sparks or an
open flame from hot water heaters, electric
motors or switches, furnaces, etc.
File Rail Edges
and Sides
Square
Worn Groove
Correct Groove
Replace guide bar when the groove is worn,
the guide baris bent orcracked,orwhenexce-
ss heating or burring of the rails occurs. If re-
placement is necessary, use onlythe guidebar
specified for your saw in the repair parts list or
on the decal located on the chain saw.
S Store in a dry area out of the reach of chil-
dren.
CAUTION:
It is important to prevent gum
deposits from forming in essential fuel system
parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel
hose, or fuel tank during storage. Alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol
or methanol) can attract moisture which leads
to fuel mixture separation and formation of
acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage
the engine.
CHAIN SHARPENING
Chain sharpening is a complicated task that
requires special tools. We recommended
you refer chain sharpening to a professional
chain sharpener.
IGNITION TIMING
Ignition timing is fixed and nonadjustable.
SPARK PLUG
The spark plug should be replaced each
year to ensure the engine starts easier and
runs better.
