ATTACHING THE STORAGE HANGER

See Figure 13.

There are two ways to hang the attachment for storage.

To use the hanger cap, push in the button and place the hanger cap over end of the lower end attachment shaft. Slightly rotate the cap from side to side until the button locks into place.

The secondary hole in the attachment shaft can be used for hanging purposes as well.

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.

SPARK ARRESTOR

The spark arrestor must be cleaned or replaced every 25 hours or yearly to ensure proper performance of the prod- uct. Spark arrestors may be in different locations depend- ing on the model purchased. Please contact your nearest service center to have the spark arrestor on your product serviced.
