Disconnect the Spark plug to prevent accidental starting. Maintenance
should be performed before and after each use. If the chainsaw is dropped
or appears to suffer any other significant impact, it is highly recommended
to perform all maintenance tasks before operation, and if there appears
to be an issue, refer to the troubleshooting chart, or take to an authorised
service agent.
Changing/replacing the Spark Plug
Regularly check the spark plug (16) for wear and
any build-up of carbon on the electrodes. Spark
plugs should be replaced every 10-15 hours of use.
1. Remove the air filter cover (14) by turning the
air filter cover knob (15) in an anti-clockwise
direction. Once the cover has been removed
pull off the black rubber cap from the spark
plug. (Fig AH)
WARNING: To avoid damage to the spark plug lead, ensure you hold
the rubber cap and not by the lead itself.
2. To remove spark plug (16) use the supplied spark plug / screwdriver
wrench (32) and turn in an anti-clockwise direction to remove.
3. Check for oil on the electrodes and clean off any excess. This can typically
indicate that the fuel mixture ratio maybe incorrect.
4. Use a soft wire brush to clean up and carbon build up on spark plug
electrodes.
Replace the spark plug or reset the electrode gap to 0.6-0.7mm.
Replacement spark plugs can be purchased from your local Lawnmower or
small engine store.
