9. TRANSPORTING THE CHAINSAW
Always stop the engine before putting a chainsaw
down or carrying it. Carrying a chainsaw with the
engine running is extremely dangerous.
Accidental acceleration of the engine can cause the
chain to rotate.
During operation, the muffler and the material
around it reach extremely high temperatures. Avoid
touching the hot muffler, as you could receive seri-
ous burns.
By hand: When carrying your saw by hand, the
engine must be stopped and the saw must be in the
proper position. Grip the front handle and place the
muffler away from the body.
The chain guard (scabbard) should be over the chain
and the guide bar, which should point backwards.
When carrying your saw, the bar should be behind
you.
By vehicle: When transporting in a vehicle, keep
chain and bar covered with the chain guard. Properly
secure your saw to prevent turnover, fuel spillage
and damage to the saw.

10. CHAINSAW MAINTENANCE (AFTER EACH USE)
Before cleaning, inspecting or repairing the chainsaw, make
sure that the engine has stopped and is cool.
Disconnect the spark plug to prevent accidental starting.
1. Air filter
Loosen the knob and remove the air cleaner cover. Take off the
filter elements and tap off any sawdust. When they are ex-
tremely dirty, rinse vigurously with petrol. Dry them
completely before reinstalling.
2. Oiling port
Dismount the guide bar and check the oiling port for clogging.
To assemble the cleaner halves, press the rim until it clicks.
