CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT
Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount of lubricant used, and/or your operating conditions, the exhaust port may become blocked with carbon deposits. If you notice a power loss with your gas powered tool, you may need to remove these deposits to restore performance. We highly recommend that only qualified service technicians perform this service.
