screws before you unscrew the two screws for the
spike (A). Remove the spike. See figure 12.

Release the two nuts (B) and remove the heat
deflector.

Cleaning and inspection
• Clean and check all components carefully. Parts
must be replaced if cracked or show signs of
other defects. Always use original spare parts.
• The spark arrestor mesh is best cleaned with a
wire brush.
• The mesh must be replaced, if damaged. The
chain saw will overheat if the mesh is clogged
resulting in damage to the cylinder and piston.
• Never use a chain saw with a clogged or defec-
tive muffler.
