    1. Never store the battery in the chainsaw. Store the battery with 40-60% charge. Store the chainsaw indoors in a dry secure place. You must properly maintain the chainsaw every 3-12 months depending on usage. Bar and chain oil is needed for use. Check that the battery contacts are clean from corrosion and foreign materials. Clean with a dry cloth or soft dry brush. Clean the chainsaw polymer components with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use detergents or solvents. Do not spray the chainsaw with water or other liquids.
