6. Maintenace
Before cleaning, inspecting or repairing your unit, make sure that engine has stopped and is cool. Disconnect the spark plug to prevent accidental starting.
A. Maintenance after each use
1. Air filter
Dust on the cleaner surface can be removed by tapping a corner of the cleaner against a hard surface. To clean dirt in the meshes, split the cleaner into halves and brush in gasoline. When using compressed air, blow from the inside.
To assemble the cleaner halves, press the rim until it clicks.
2. Oiling port
Dismount the guide bar and check the oiling port for clogging.
3. Guide bar
When the guide bar is dismounted, remove sawdust in the bar groove and the oiling port.
Grease the nose sprocket from the feeding port on the tip of the bar.
4. Others
Check for fuel leakage and loose fastenings and damage to major parts, especially handle joints and guide bar mounting. If any defects are found, make sure to have them repaired before operating again.
