" Okay, I’m Charles McMahon on behalf of Expert Village. We are now just going to finish up; we are going to tidy up after this, having split these logs. First thing of course that we do is we are going to unplug the machine and when we unplug it, we pull on the plug here, not yank on the cord, and we are going to wind this around this little post back here where we keep the cord and at the end, we will just put the cord will fit over where this little clip fits over there, keeps everything out of the way. Then we just take a little Wisk broom and we will clean the thing up, get all that little stuff out of here, and keep it as tidy as we can. Then we can pick it again by the handle and put it away. You can see it has a pretty small footprint so it is pretty easy to store this in your garage. Remember when you are picking it up, lift with your legs, not with your back. Other than that, we are finished. "
