Maintenance after each use
WARNING!
Before cleaning, inspecting or repairing your unit, make sure that the engine has
stopped and is cool. Disconnect the spark plug to prevent accidental starting.
1. Air filter
Dust on the air filter surface can be removed by detaching the engine cover, removing the
filter and tapping a corner of the filter cover against a hard surface. To clean dirt in the
meshes, remove the cover and brush in petrol. When using compressed air, blow from the
inside. To reassemble, push the cover back into place and press the rim until it clicks.
2. Oiling port
Detach the chain bar and check the oiling port for clogging.
3. Chain bar
When the chain bar is dismounted, remove sawdust from the bar groove and the oiling port.
Grease the nose sprocket through the grease port on the tip of the bar.
4. Others
Check for fuel leakage and loose fastenings and damage to major parts, especially handle
joints, chain bar mounting and silencer. If any defects are found, make sure to have them
repaired before operating the unit again.
How to replace the saw
NOTE:
It is very important for smooth and safe operation to cut with a sharp chain. The
chain needs replacing when:
1. Sawdust becomes powder-like.
2. Cutting requires extra force.
3. The chainsaw does not cut straight and clean.
4. Vibration increases.
5. Fuel consumption increases.
