How to properly Store your Chainsaw 

Usually once the warm weather returns, our chainsaws are stored away.

To guarantee that your chainsaw will be ready the first cool autumn morning that you need it, we’ve listed the following instructions on how to safely store your chainsaw:

• Drain the fuel tank. Unleaded gasoline becomes destabilized in approximately 30 days. (This is valuable to know if you store gasoline for other power tools such as hedge clippers, lawn mowers, edgers, trenchers, etc.)
• After the fuel tank has been drained, run the engine until it stops. This will clean the fuel from the carburetor. Fuel left in the carburetor can foul the spark plug, clog fuel lines, and cause your chainsaw to be difficult to start.
• Once the engine has cooled completely, remove the spark plug, then add approximately 2-cycle oil to the combustion chamber. (Oil displaces water vapors and reduces the risk of rust.)
• Pull the starter slowly a couple of times to coat all internal parts of your chainsaw.
• Replace the spark plug.
• Place chainsaw in case if you have one.
   

When it is time to remove your chainsaw for storage, simply follow these instructions:

• Briskly pull the starter cord to clear the oil from the combustion chamber.
• Clean and re-gap the spark plug.
• Refill the fuel tank with fresh oil/ fuel mixture.
• Check the chainsaw’s oiling system, chain, guide bar, and all other safety features before use.
