MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER

The muffler is equipped with a spark arrestor screen. A faulty spark arrestor screen can create a fire hazard. Through normal use the screen can become dirty and should be inspected weekly and cleaned as required. Always keep the muffler and spark arrestor on your saw in good condition.

WARNING

Muffler surfaces are very hot during and after operation of the chain saw, keep all body parts away from the muffler. Serious burns may occur if contact is made with the muffler.

1.Allow the muffler to cool.

2.The spark arrestor screen is retained by the deflector. Remove the nuts and screen retainer to access the spark arrestor screen.

3.Replace the spark arrestor screen if it is cracked or otherwise deteriorated.
