• Checking the air filter on the Edge Styler STD.
- Remove the black cap (read § 6.2.) from the air filter.
- Do this by pressing on the locking tabs on the fuel tank side of the air filter cover.
- Remove the filter cartridge.
- Check for rips and tears.
- If the cartridge is torn or ripped, it should be replaced.
- Bang the cartridge carefully against a hard surface so as to remove any chunks of rubbish.
- If you have a compressed air blower available, you can clean off the cartridge by exposing the
cartridge to a hefty burst of air while holding onto it.
- At the end of the cleaning session, be sure to put everything back how it was originally situ-
ated.
• Checking the air filter on the Edge Styler PRO.
- The Edge Styler PRO contains both a paper filter as well as a sponge filter.
- Loosen the black cap (read § 6.2.) on the filter.
- Also loosen the filter cartridge and pull it out of the motor.
- Pull the sponge filter elements up over and away from the paper elements.
- Check both for rips and tears; and replace, if necessary.
- Clean the paper air filter by gently by tapping it against a hard surface.
- Clean the sponge filter using warm, soapy water before rinsing and setting it out to thoroughly
dry. Alternatively, clean it with a non-flammable cleanser and allow it to dry.
- Drench the sponge filter in clean motor oil and wring out the excess.
- If there is still too much oil in the sponge element, then this will cause the motor to pump out
black smoke when it is used again.
- Put everything back in its original place and properly tighten both wing nuts.
Caution :
Never allow the motor to run without an air filter, given that this will increase
the rate of wear and tear on the motor. Allowing this to happen will render
your manufacturer’s warranty null and void.
Caution :
If a stream of compressed air is released too closely to the filter element, then
this could cause micro-perforations that will render the filtering properties
completely useless.
Caution :
If the machine topples over for some reason, set it again upright as quickly as
possible! Since an overturned motor is an abnormal position for the motor, it
is possible that oil from the crankcase has seeped through the carburettor and
into the air filter. Since oil on a paper filter nullifies its porosity, allowing no air
to filter through, it will be necessary to replace the filter if contaminated with
oil.
