To clean the air filter
CAUTION: A air filter that is damaged, very
dirty or soaked with fuel must always be
replaced.
If you use an air filter for a long time it cannot be fully
cleaned. Replace the air filter with a new one at regular
intervals.
1. Move the choke lever up, to close the choke valve.
2. Remove the air filter cover and remove the air filter.
3. Clean the air filter with warm soap water.
4. Replace the air filter if it is too dirty to fully clean it.
Always replace a damaged air filter.
5. Also clean the inner surface of the filter cover. Use
air or a brush.
6. Do a check of the rubber sealing surface. Replace
the filter on the rubber seal if it is damaged.
7. Make sure that the filter is dry before you assemble
it.
Two piece-shaft
Apply grease to the end of the drive shaft after each 30
hours of operation. There is a risk that the drive shaft
ends (splined coupling) on models with two-piece shafts
will seize if they are not lubricated regularly.

To check the chain drive sprocket
1. Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive
sprocket. Replace if wear is excessive.
To examine the cutting equipment
1. Make sure that there are no cracks in rivets and links
and that no rivets are loose. Replace if it is
necessary.
2. Make sure that the saw chain is easy to bend.
Replace the saw chain if it is rigid.
3. Compare the saw chain with a new saw chain to
examine if the rivets and links are worn.
4. Replace the saw chain when the longest part of the
cutting tooth is less than 4 mm/0.16 in. Also replace
the saw chain if there are cracks on the cutters.
