CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND
MUFFLER
NOTE: Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and
amount of oil used, and/or your operating conditions, the
exhaust port, muffler, and/or spark arrestor screen may be-
come blocked with carbon deposits. If you notice a power loss
with your gas powered tool, you may need to remove these
deposits to restore performance. We highly recommended
that only qualified service technicians perform this service.
