STORING THE PRODUCT
See Figure 23.
Clean all foreign material from the product. Store
idle unit indoors in a dry, well-ventilated area
that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from
corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and
de-icing salts.
Always place the scabbard on the saw bar
when transporting or storing the pole saw. The
scabbard is a snug fit and must be attached
very carefully due to the sharp teeth on the
saw chain. This is best done by grasping the
scabbard at one end, in the center portion of
the scabbard, and carefully sliding it over the
chain as shown. Use caution to avoid the sharp
teeth of the chain.
