• Store the chainsaw in a safe and dry place out of the
reach of children.
Storage
Important: Never put the equipment into storage for
longer than 30 days without carrying out the following
steps.
Storing the equipment
If you intend to store the equipment for longer than 30
days, the equipment must be prepared accordingly.
Otherwise the fuel still remaining in the carburetor will
evaporate and leave a rubbery sediment. This can cau-
se problems when starting up the equipment and may
require expensive repairs.
1 Slowly remove the fuel tank cap to release any pres-
sure that may have formed in the tank. Carefully empty
the tank.
2 To remove the fuel from the carburetor, start the engine
and let it run until the equipment stops.
3 Leave the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
4 Remove the spark plug (see section 10 Change and
clean the spark plug).
5 Add one teaspoon of 2-stroke engine oil into the com-
bustion chamber. Slowly pull the starter cord several
times to apply a layer of oil to all internal components.
Fit the spark plug again.
Note: Store the equipment in a dry place and far away
from possible ignition sources such as an oven, a gas-fi
red hot water boiler, a gas-fi red dryer, etc.
