Transporting the Chain Saw

When transporting the chain saw:
► Slide a chain scabbard over the guide bar so
that it covers the entire guide bar.
► When transporting the saw by hand, hold it by
the front handle with the guide bar pointing
backwards, opposite the direction in which you
are walking. Place the muffler away from the
body.
► When transporting the saw in a vehicle, cover
the guide bar with a chain scabbard. Secure
and position the chain saw to prevent turn‐
over, fuel spillage, impact and damage.
Your saw comes standard with a chain scabbard
that matches the cutting attachment. If you use
guide bars of different lengths on the saw, the
length of the chain scabbard must be matched to
the guide bar to reduce the risk of injury. It
should cover the full length of the guide bar.
