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.

Remove the sprocket guard (see ”PUTTING INTO OPERATI-

ON” A-H)

CAUTION:

 Worn out sprockets (

8

) may damage the new chain 

and must therefore be replaced.

Replacing the clutch drum and sprocket

Release the chain brake if necessary.
Lever off the circlip (

11

) using the universal wrench and remove 

the washer (

10

).

Pull off the clutch drum together with the sprocket (

9

) and fit a 

new clutch drum and sprocket in reverse order.

Replacing the suction head

The felt filter (

12

) 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 

carburetor.
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 (

14

) and remove the filter cover (

13

). 

IMPORTANT:

 Cover the intake opening with a clean cloth in 

order to prevent dirt particles from falling into the carburetor.
Remove the air filter.

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 dish-

washing detergent.
Let the air filter 

dry completely

.

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!
