Always use a low-kickback saw chain, which
significantly reduces the danger of kickback. Low-
kickback saw chain does not completely eliminate
kickback. A low-kickback or “safety chain,” should
never be regarded as total protection against injury.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury, always stop the
engine and allow it to cool before cleaning or
maintaining the unit.
WARNING
Replacing the Guide Bar and Saw Chain
Maintaining the Air Filter
When replacing the guide bar and saw chain, only use
the replacement parts specified by the manufacturer
or their equivalents. Refer to Replacement Parts. Use
of any unauthorized parts or accessories could lead to
serious injury to the operator or damage to the unit and
will VOID the warranty.
Always use a replacement saw chain designated as
“low-kickback”or a saw chain that meets the low-
kickback performance requirements. A standard saw
chain (a chain that does not have the kickback-reducing
guard links) should only be used by an experienced
professional chain saw operator.
Failure to maintain the air filter can result in poor
performance or can cause permanent damage to
the engine. Engine failure due to improper air filter
maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.
Cleaning the Air Filter
1. Turn the knob on the air filter cover counter-
clockwise to loosen the air filter cover (Fig. 41).
2. Remove the air filter cover (Fig. 41).
3. Remove the air filter (Fig. 42).
This procedure can be performed while the guide bar
and saw chain are still assembled on the unit.
NOTE
Lubricating the Guide Bar Sprocket Tip
The guide bar sprocket tip was lubricated at the factory,
but requires regular lubrication. Failure to lubricate the
guide bar sprocket tip will result in poor performance,
damage to the unit and will VOID the warranty.
1. Clean the guide bar sprocket tip thoroughly with a
damp cloth(Fig. 40).
2. Use a guide bar tip lube gun (not included) to inject
grease into the lubrication hole (Fig. 40). Inject
grease until it appears on the outer edge of the
guide bar sprocket tip.
3. Rotate the saw chain by hand. Always wear heavy-
duty protective gloves. Make sure the chain brake is
disengaged.
4. Repeat the lubrication process until the entire guide
bar sprocket tip is lubricated.
