MAINTENANCE

34 – English

Chain catcher

Check that the chain catcher is not damaged and is ﬁrmly

attached to the body of the chain saw.

Right hand guard

Check that the right hand guard is not damaged and that

there are no visible defects, such as cracks.

Vibration damping system

Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or

deformation.

Make sure the vibration damping units are securely

attached to the engine unit and handle unit.

Stop switch

Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when

you move the stop switch to the stop setting.

Mufﬂer

The mufﬂer is designed to reduce the noise level and to

direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The

exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may

cause ﬁre if directed against dry and combustible

material.

Some mufﬂers are equipped with a special spark arrestor

mesh. If your machine has this type of mufﬂer, you should

clean the mesh at least once a week. This is best done

with a wire brush. A blocked mesh will cause the engine

to overheat and may lead to serious damage.

Note! The mesh must be replaced if it is damaged. If the

mesh is blocked the machine will overheat and this will

cause damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a

machine with a mufﬂer that is in poor condition. Never

use a mufﬂer if the spark arrestor mesh is missing or

defective.
