basic maintenance / safety checks.
All other maintenance work must be carried out by service agents who are

procedures, make sure that the engine is off and is cool.
NOTE: Failure to maintain the following parts may result in reduced engine
performance.
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 (17) 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 (15) by using your
thumb to pull the air filter cover clip (16) down
to release and remove the cover (Fig AL). Once
the cover has been removed, remove the air
filter (14) to gain access to the spark plug (To
remove the air filter (14) and gain access to the
spark plug, refer to the instructions on page 30;
“Air Filter”), then pull off the black rubber cap from the spark plug.
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 (17) use the supplied combination tool (spark plug
spanner) (33) 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 may be incorrect.
4. Use a soft wire brush to clean up 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.
