running (high voltage).
Switch off the engine before starting any maintenance work.
A hot engine can cause burns. Wear protective gloves!
The spark plug must be replaced in case of damage to the
insulator, electrode erosion (burn) or if the electrodes are very
dirty or oily.
Remove the filter cover (see „Cleaning the air filter").
Pull the plug cap (7) off the spark plug. Use only the combination
wrench supplied with the saw to remove the spark plug.

against the combination tool (away from the spark plug hole)
with the spark plug cap firmly on the plug.
