11 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
All chain saw service, other than items listed here in your user manual maintenance
instructions, should be performed by a professional.
11.1 Preventive maintenance
A good preventive maintenance program of regular inspection and care will increase life and
improve performance of your chain saw. This maintenance checklist is a guide for such a
program. Cleaning, adjustment, and parts replacement may be required, under certain
conditions, at more frequent intervals than those indicated.
▪ Air filter: Regularly check and clean the filter element. Replace if necessary.
11.2 Winter maintenance
Your chain saw requires a winter maintenance. Please contact your local dealer for this.
It includes the following:
Replacing spark plug
Sharpening the chain
Cleaning of air filter (replacement if necessary)
Cleaning of guide bar
Oil pump check up
Thorough clean-up
Fine tuning and testing
11.3 Air filter
Caution: never operate saw without the air filter. Dust and dirt will be drawn
into engine and damage it. Keep the air filter clean!
To clean air filter:
▪ Remove knob (A) holding air filter cover in place, remove the top cover (B) by loosening
the cover retaining screw. Cover will lift off (Fig. 15a).
▪ Lift the air filter (C) out of air-box (D) (Fig. 15b).
▪ Clean air filter. Wash filter in clean, warm, soapy water. Rinse in clear, cool water. Air dry
completely.
Note: it is advisable to have a supply of spare filters.
▪ Install air filter. Install engine / air filter cover. Make sure latch (E) latch (F) and cover fit
properly. Tighten the cover retaining knob securely (Fig. 15c & Fig. 15d).
Warning: never perform maintenance when the engine is hot, to avoid any
chance of burning hands or fingers.
