AIR FILTER
IMPORTANT
STARTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY
It is common for concrete slurry to get inside the starter housing
assembly during cutting. This can cause the starter pawls to stick
and not engage when the rope is pulled.
IMPORTANT
• After each usage, thoroughly flush the starter housing
assembly with water.
• Lubricate the starter pawls by spraying light weight oil into the
starter housing through the vents.
• Check the starter cord for fraying, replace if necessary.
The air filter is made from water resistant polyester and includes
internal spit-back screen. Both must be kept clean for the engine
to operate properly. If the saw is not reaching full RPM, most
likely one or both of the air filters are dirty.
• The air filter should be free of holes and white in color.
• Replace air filter when dirty.
• The spit-back screen should be free of holes and be
white in color. Clean with mild solvent or gasoline and dry
with high pressure air. If spit-back screen is dirty the saw
will not reach full RPM.
• During re-assembly, tighten air filter wing-nut "finger tight"
plus an 1/8 in of a turn with wrench.
