MAINTENANCE
MAINTAINING THE SAFETY TIP NOSE GUARD
See Figures 33 - 34.
WARNING:
This saw comes without the safety tip antikick-
back device installed. Install the safety tip prior
to using the saw and check the tightness of the
mounting screw each time the saw is used.
Use the following instructions to tighten the mount-
ing screw of the nose guard. These are specially
hardened screws. If you cannot install the screw
tightly, replace both the screw and the safety tip
before further operation.
NOTE: Do not replace the screw with an ordinary
screw. Use only identical replacement parts from
the manufacturer when replacing parts.
In addition to preventing chain contact with solid
objects at the nose of the bar, the safety tip also
helps keep the chain away from abrasive surfaces,
such as the ground. Keep it on the right hand side
of the bar where it will be between the chain and
the ground during flush with ground cutting.
The mounting screw requires a 5/16 in. wrench (or
adjustable wrench) to achieve the recommended
torque of 35 to 45 in-lb. A torque within this range
can be achieved by using the following method.
 Tighten the screw with wrench until snug.
 From the snug position, tighten the screw an
additional 3/4 of a turn using a wrench.
TRANSPORTING AND STORING
See Figure 35.
WARNING:
Always remove the battery pack before trans-
porting or storing chain saw. Place battery
pack indoors in a dry, secure location out of
the reach of children when storing. Failure to
follow these instructions may lead to acciden-
tal starting or unauthorized use and result in
serious personal injury.
 Do not store or transport the chain saw when
it is running. The chain saw should always be
idle before storing or transporting.
