CLEANING THE ENGINE
See Figures 67 - 68.
Clean the cylinder fins and flywheel fins with
compressed air or a brush periodically. Danger-
ous overheating of the engine may occur due to
impurities on the cylinder.
WARNING
Never run the saw without all the parts, including
the clutch cover and starter housing, securely
in place.
Because parts can fracture and pose a danger
of thrown objects, leave repairs of the flywheel
and clutch to factory trained authorized service
center personnel.
NOTE: If you notice a power loss with the gas-
powered tool, the exhaust port and muffler may
be blocked with carbon deposits. These deposits
may need to be removed to restore performance.
We highly recommend that only qualified service
technicians perform this service.

damaged, have fuel filter replaced by an authorized
service center.
