Spark Plug; Maintaining The Saw Chain - Westfalia 80 01 50 Instruction Manual

Maintenance

Spark Plug

A good spark plug condition is influenced by an incorrectly adjusted
carburettor, wrong oil and fuel mixture or a dirty air filter. These factors can
cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes which may result in starting
difficulties or operating problems.
Clean the electrodes with a wire brush
and reset the gap to approx. 0.65 mm as
necessary.
The fastening torque has to be 15 to 17
Nm.
Always use the correct spark plug type.
The use of wrong spark plugs can
damage the piston and the cylinder.

Maintaining the Saw Chain

ATTENTION! To ensure proper and safe operation of the gasoline chain saw
make sure the cutters of the saw chain are always sharp.
The cutters need to be sharpened when:
- Sawdust becomes powder-like,
- You need extra force to saw in,
- The cut way does not go straight,
- Vibration increases,
- Fuel consumption increases, too.
All chain saw service should be performed by competent chain saw service
personnel. If desired you can order from Westfalia right sharpening tools and
devices for your saw chains, e. g. the Filing Set, article number 80 04 18.
