Replacing The Saw Chain; Replacing The Suction Head; Cleaning The Air Filter - Makita DCS 330 TH Owner's And Safety Manual

Replacing the saw chain

CAUTION:
Use only chains and guide bars designed for this saw (see
the Extract from the spare-parts list)!
Check the sprocket (7) before mounting a new chain.
The sprocket is located underneath the clutch drum (8).
CAUTION:
Worn out sprockets (9) may damage the new chain and must
therefore be replaced.
Do not attempt to replace the sprocket yourself. Sprocket
replacement requires special training and tools and must be
done at a MAKITA service centre.

Replacing the suction head

The felt filter (10) of the suction head can become clogged. It
is recommended to replace the suction head once every three
months in order to ensure unimpeded fuel flow to the carbure-
tor.
To remove the suction head for replacement, pull it out through
the tank filler neck using a piece of wire bent at one end to form
a hook.

Cleaning the air filter

Unscrew screw (11) and remove the filter cover (12).
IMPORTANT: Cover the intake opening with a clean cloth in
order to prevent dirt particles from falling into the carburetor.
Remove the filter (13) with foam insert (14).
CAUTION: To prevent injury to the eyes, do NOT blow out
dirt particles! Do not use fuel to clean the air filter.
Clean the air filter with a soft brush.
If the filter is very dirty, clean it in lukewarm water with
dishwashing detergent.
Let the air filter dry completely.
Put the filter and insert back together.
If the filter is very dirty, clean it frequently (several times a day),
because only a clean air filter provides full engine power.
CAUTION:
Replace damaged air filters immediately.
Pieces of cloth or large dirt particles can destroy the
engine!
