Air filter
Clean air filter regularly. Unscrew air filter knob (Fig.10 No.4)
and remove air filter cover (Fig.10 No.5) and remove filter
(Fig.21). Dust on the filter surface can be removed by tapping
a corner of the filter against a hard surface. To clean dirt in the
mesh, split the filter into halves and brush in gasoline. When
using compressed air, blow from the inside. Remember to
wear safety goggles.
To assemble the filter halves, press the rim until it clicks. Note,
when installing the filter, make sure that the grooves on the
filter edge are correctly aligned with the intake hole on the
cylinder.
Fit new filter if damaged.
Oiling port
Dissemble the guide bar and check the oiling port for clogging
(Fig. 4).
Guide bar
When the guide bar is dissembled, remove sawdust in the bar
groove and the oiling port. Grease the nose sprocket from the
feeding port on the tip of the bar (Fig. 9).
Chain
Remove the chain and clean it if it is dirty, e.g. gumming with
resin. Place the chain in a vessel containing chain cleaner.
There after clean the chain with clean water. If the chain is not
used again immediately, it must be treated with oil or a custom
anti-corrosion spray.
Ensure that the chain tension is correct. If the chain is too
loose, it may come off during use and lead to injuries. The
chain must be replaced immediately if it is damaged. The
cutting teeth must be at least 4 mm long.
Oil level and lubrication
Check the oil level and lubrication after every use. Insufficient
oil and lubrication leads to damage to the chain, bar and en -
gine.
General
Check for fuel leakage, loose fasteners and damage to major
parts, especially handle joints and guide bar mounts. If any
damage is found, make sure to have it repaired before operat -
ing the chain saw again.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Cylinder fins
NOTE: Block the air intake hole when cleaning cylinder fins.
Dust clogging between the cylinder fins will cause overheating
of the engine.
Periodically check and clean the cylinder fins after removing
the air filter and the cylinder cover (Fig.22). When re-fastening
the cylinder cover, make sure that switch wires and grommets
are positioned correctly in place.
Fuel filter
Replace every 12 months.
(a) Using a wire hook, take out the filter from the fuel tank refill -
ing inlet (Fig.10, No.12).
(b) Disassemble the filter and wash with gasoline, or replace
with new one if needed.
NOTE
After removing the filter and when assembling the filter, take
care not to allow filter fibres or dirt inside the suction pipe.
Silencer
The silencer may become blocked by deposits over a period of
time and must be removed to be cleaned or replaced.
