Changing/replacing the spark plug
Regularly check the spark plug for wear and any build up of
carbon on the electrodes.
1. Remove the rear air filter cover (9) by turning the locking knob
in an anti-clockwise direction. Once the cover has been removed
pull off the black rubber cap from the spark plug. (Fig AJ)
WARNING.
To avoid damage to the spark plug lead, ensure you
hold the rubber cap and not by the lead itself.
2. To remove spark plug use the double ended socket tool that is supplied with the
product and turn in an anti-clockwise direction.
3. Check for oil on the electrodes and clean off any excess. This can typically indicate
that the fuel mixture ratio maybe incorrect.
4. Use a soft wire brush to clean up and carbon build up on spark plug electrodes.
Replace the spark plug or reset the electrode gap to 0.6-0.7mm.
Chain sharpening
Sharpen the chain regularly to maintain optimum performance of the saw.
Signs of a dull chain are:
• The sawdust becomes powder-like
• Extra force is required to execute a cut
• The cut does not track in a straight line
• Increased vibration
• Increased fuel consumption
WARNING.
Wear heavy gloves when handling the chain.Hold the guide bar (1)
securely in a vice.
Sharpen each cutter using a chain file. Always use outward
strokes. (Fig AK)
After sharpening, the cutters must all have the same width
and length. After every 3 - 4 times use a repair centre to
professionally sharpen your saw chain. They have the special
tools necessary to ensure the correct cutting angles and depths
are even.
Guide bar wear
Reverse the guide bar every 8 working hours to ensure uniform wear. Check the bar
rails frequently and if necessary remove burrs and square-up the rails using a flat file.
