Do not use solvents to clean,
or compressed air to dry the
filter as this may damage the
filter element.
WARNING!
THE POWER HEAD
Inspect and clean the power head. (Fig. 31)
Wipe all debris and foreign matter from the power
head, making sure to clean carefully around the
clutch.
Make sure the oil slot on the power head is clear and
open. Use a bar cleaning tool or a small screwdriver
to remove any debris from this slot. (Fig. 32)
THE AIR FILTERS
Remove the foam pre-wrap air filter from the
saw (Fig. 33). Wash the pre-wrap with soapy
water, rinse with clean water and squeeze dry.
The main filter element is coated at the factory and
needs no oiling prior to its first use. The main filter
element needs to be cleaned only if there is
substantial buildup of debris. To remove the main
filter, loosen the filter clamp with a screwdriver or the
scrench tool. (Fig. 34)
Note: Pull out the choke to close the butterfly
before removing the main filter. This will prevent
foreign objects from entering the carburetor after
you have removed the filter.
Clean the main filter element with soap and water,
rinse with clean water and allow to thoroughly dry. It
is important that the main filter element is thoroughly
dry. When dry, recoat main filter element with the
filter oil provided with the saw. Spray filter oil only
around the exterior of the filter. Do not spray oil inside
the filter element.
IMPORTANT!
It may take up an to hour for
the main filter element to thoroughly dry, depending
on the weather. NOTE: It is a good
idea to have a spare filter. Drying time can be over
an hour and the extra filter can get your saw
back in service faster.
