Fuel safety
Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling
or mixing fuel (gasoline and 2-stroke oil).
Move the machine
at least 10 ft (3 m) from the
refuelling point before starting it.
Never start the machine:
1
If you have spilled fuel or chain oil on the machine.
Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining
fuel to
evaporate.
2
If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
3
If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.

Transport
and storage
Always store the chain saw and fuel so that there is no
risk of leakages or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked flames from electrical equipment,
electric motors, relays/switches,
boilers and the like.
Always store fuel in an approved container
designed
for that purpose.
For longer periods of storage or for transport
of the
chain saw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be
emptied. Ask where you can dispose of waste fuel and
chain oil at your local gas station.
Ensure the machine
is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
The guide bar cover must always be fitted to the
cutting attachment
when the machine
is being
transported
or in storage, in order to prevent accident
contact with the sharp chain. Even a non-moving
chain can cause serious cuts to yourself or persons
you bump into with an exposed chain.
Secure the machine during transport.
Long=term storage
Empty the fuel/oil tanks in a well ventilated
area. Store the
fuel in approved cans in a safe place. Fit the guide bar
cover. Clean the machine. See instructions
under the
heading Maintenance
schedule.
