MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE ENGINE (Fig. 66-67)
Clean the cylinder fi ns (B) and fl ywheel fi ns (A) with
compressed air or a brush periodically. Dangerous
overheating of the engine may occur due to impurities on
the cylinder.
WARNING
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 fl ywheel 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 muffl er may be blocked with
carbon deposits. These deposits may need to be removed
to restore performance.
CHECKING THE FUEL FILTER (Fig. 68)
Check the fuel filter (B)
contaminated or damaged.
REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG (Fig. 69)
This engine uses a Champion RZ7C or NGK CMR7H
spark plug with 0,64 mm electrode gap. Use an exact
replacement and replace every 50 hours or more frequently,
if necessary.
Loosen the spark plug by turning it counterclockwise
■
with a wrench (A).
Remove the spark plug.
■
Hand thread the new spark plug, turning it clockwise.
■
Tighten securely with wrench (B).
NOTE: Be careful not to cross-thread the spark plug.
Cross-threading will seriously damage the cylinder.
INSPECTING/CLEANING THE SPARK ARRESTOR
SCREEN AND MUFFLER EXHAUST PORT (Fig. 70)
The muffl er is equipped with a spark arrestor screen. A faulty
spark arrestor screen can create a fi re hazard. Through
normal use the screen can become dirty and should be
inspected weekly and cleaned as required. Always keep the
muffl er and spark arrestor on the saw in good condition.

not be less than 0.6 mm, or worn halfway through.
Always keep the chain brake mechanism clean and
■
lightly lubricate the linkage (B).
Always test the chain brake performance after servicing
■
or cleaning. Refer to Operating Chain Brake for
additional information.
Check the chain catcher (D) and replace if damaged.
