5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your chainsaw.

5.1 Cleaning

• After each use, clean wood chips and sawdust from the engine cooling fins, air filter, and chain brake mechanism.
• Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth.

If the chainsaw will not be used for an extended period:

• Drain all fuel from the fuel tank. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel to clear the carburetor.
• Clean the chainsaw thoroughly.
• Store the chainsaw in a dry, dust-free environment, ideally in a plastic bag to prevent dust and water ingress.
• Use the guide bar cover for protection during storage.
