MAINTENANCE
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.
CAUTION! The stop switch automatically returns to the start
position. In order to prevent unintentional starting, the spark
plug cap must be removed from the spark plug when
assembling, checking and/or performing maintenance.
Muffler
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the
machine.
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor
screen. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should
clean the screen at least once a week. This is best done with
a wire brush. A blocked screen will cause the engine to
overheat and may lead to serious damage.
Note! The screen must be replaced if it is damaged. If the
screen 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 screen is missing or
defective.
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.
