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.
