■ 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 gaso-
line. When using compressed air, blow from the inside.
To assemble the cleaner halves, press the rim until it clicks.
Note: When installing the main filter, make sure that the grooves on the
filter edge are correctly fit with the projections on the cylinder cover.
2. Oiling port
Dismount the guide bar and check the oiling port for clogging.
Cutting the limbs of Fallen Tree
First check to which side the limb is bent. Then make
the initial cut from the bent side and finish by sawing
from the opposite side.
Be alert to the springing back of a cut limb.
Pruning of Standing Tree
Cut up from the bottom, finish down from the top.
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 the saw again.
