ing steps after each use:
• Allow the engine to cool, and secure
the unit before storing or transporting.
• Store chain saw and fuel in a well
ventilated area where fuel vapors
cannot reach sparks or open flames
from water heaters, electric motors or
switches, furnaces, etc.
• Store chain saw with ail guards in
place and position chain saw so that
any sharp object cannot accidentally
cause injury.

end of the season or if it will not be
used for 30 days or more.
If your chain saw is to be stored for a
period of time:
• Clean saw thoroughly before storage.
• Store in a clean dry area.
• Lightly oil external metal surfaces
and guide bar,
• Oil the chain and wrap it in heavy pa­
per or doth.
FUEL SYSTEM
Empty the fuel system before storage
for 30 days Of longer. Drain the gas
tank, start the engine and let it run until
the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
Use fresh fuel next season.
Under FUELING ENGINE in the OPERA­
TION section of this manual, see mes­
sage labeled flUIPORTANT regarding
the use of gasohol in your chain saw.
