6. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1.
Maintenance
Before any maintenance work, the machine must be switched off and completely
cooled.
Perform the maintenance work according to the instructions below and perform
them regularly. A clean, well-maintained machine increases its standard of living and
efficiency. On the contrary, a machine maintained can cause damage, accidents and
render the tool inoperable in the short term.
Any other maintenance, modification or repair work must be carried out by a
qualified professional.
Do not immerse the tool in water or any other liquid.

gasoline, wring out and dry. Replace the foam in the air filter and reassemble as
described in the diagram.
After 10 uses, replace the foam with a new one.

Cleaning the oil filter and fuel filter
Clean these items regularly. Remove them from the tanks using clamps. Clean them
with gasoline and then put them back in place afterwards
d.
Guide bar
Cleaning: Remove bar guide to remove dirt from grooves and oil inlet.
Regularly grease the pinion.
Check: Reverse the bar from time to time to avoid the effects of wear. The bar rail
should always be in place. Use a ruler to observe it. If a gap is observed between them,
then the rail is normal. Otherwise, the rail is worn out. A bar must be corrected or
replaced.
