CLEANING THE STARTER UNIT

See gure 66 - 67.
Clean the engine ns and ywheel ns with compressed
air or a brush periodically. Dangerous overheating of the
engine may occur due to impurities on the engine.

Never run the saw without all the parts, including the
drivecase cover and starter housing, securely in place.
Because parts can fracture and pose a danger of
thrown objects, leave repairs of the ywheel and clutch
to trained service dealer personnel.
NOTE: Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and
amount of lubricant used, and/or your operating conditions,
the exhaust port and silencer may become blocked with
carbon deposits. If you notice a power loss with your
petrol-powered tool, you may need to remove these
deposits to restore performance. We highly recommend
that only qualied service technicians perform this service.

3. Hand thread the new spark plug, turning it clockwise.
NOTE: Be careful not to cross-thread the spark plug.
Cross-threading will seriously damage the engine.
WARNING
Silencer surfaces are very hot during and after
operation of the chainsaw. Keep all body parts away
from the silencer. Serious burns may occur if contact is
made with the silencer.
