22 / CUTTERS EDGE VENTILATION SAWS
NOTE
We recommend lubricating your sprocket tip as
soon as safely possible after cutting, while the bar
is still hot. If this is not possible, you may run the
saw to heat up the sprocket tip and lute it before
starting the cleaning procedure. This will force out
any molten tar and debris,
aiding your later clean-
ing routine in the station.
THE POWER HEAD
Now inspect and clean the power head.
Wipe all debris and foreign matter from the power head,
making sure to clean carefully around the clutch.
Fig. 29. Remove the pre-filter.
Make sure the oil slot on the power head is clear and open.
Use a bar cleaning tool or small screw driver to remove any
debris from this slot (Fig. 28).
Fig. 28. Carefully clean out the oil slot.
THE FILTERS
Next, remove the foam pre-filter from the saw (Fig. 29).
Spray it liberally with the filter cleaner/degreaser provided
with your saw. Work it in.
Rinse the pre-filter with clean water and allow it to air dry.
Remove the main filter element by loosening the filter
clamp screw. Pull out the choke to close the butterfly. This
will prevent foreign objects from entering the carburetor
after you have removed the filter.
If it needs cleaning, spray filter cleaner/degreaser around
the interior of the filter, creating a puddle. Rotate the filter
to distribute this evenly.Repeat with the exterior of the
filter.
Next, rinse the filter thoroughly with water and allow to air
dry.
Do not use solvents to clean, or compressed air to
dry, the filter as this may damage the filter ele-
ment
Once thoroughly dry, spray filter oil only around the exte-
rior of the filter. Do
not spray filter oil inside the filter.
NOTE
It is a good idea to have a spare filter. Drying time
can be over an hour and the extra filter can get
your saw back in service faster.
Once it is dry, spray it lightly with the filter oil provided.
You should clean the main filter element only if the red
color is gone, or if you notice diminished power while
running the saw.
Detailed instructions for cleaning the filters are included in
the filter recharger kit.
