CLEANING & STORAGE
1. Brush or blow dust and debris out of the air vents using compressed air or a vacuum. Keep the air vents free of
obstructions, sawdust, and wood chips. Do not spray, wash, or immerse the air vents in water.
2. Wipe off the housing and the plastic components using a moist, soft cloth. Do not use strong solvents or deter-
gents on the plastic housing or plastic components. Certain household cleaners may cause damage, and may cause
a shock hazard.
3. Routinely clean out the dust and debris that gathers under the tension housing, the oil outlet, and around the bar
and the chain sprocket. Otherwise it can jam up the sprocket, the chain, and the lubrication system.
4. Remove tension from the saw chain and drain the oil tank before storing the saw.
