MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Always wear gloves when handling saw chain.
SPROCKET
A damaged drive sprocket will cause premature wear or damage to the chainsaw.
Check the sprocket when installing a new chain. When outer diameter of sprocket
is worn 0.5mm (0.020") or more, replace it. Always clean sprocket, clutch and bar
mount area before installing guide bar.
ENGINE
Check the cylinder fins periodically for dirt, dust and wood chips that can interfere
with proper cooling. Clogged fins can cause overheating and as a result, lower
power output. Remove debris between fins with compressed air or brush.
RECOIL STARTING UNIT
Use a brush or compressed air to keep the cooling louvers of the starter assembly
free and clear of debris (fig.24).
MUFFLER SPARK ARRESTOR
Periodically check the condition of the muffler spark arrestor. Carbon deposits will
cause a drop in engine output and cause overheating. Spark arrestor screen must
be checked for carbon buildup and condition. To check spark arrestor screen, first
remove the three nuts and the screw of the muffler bracket (fig. 25). Next
remove the muffler cover. Next remove the guide plate held by three screws.
The spark arrestor screen is now visible. Visually check the screen and if holes
are present, replace the screen. If carbon buildup is present, use a small brush and
remove the deposits.

CHAIN BRAKE

Keep the chain brake area clean and free of dirt, oil and debris. Always check the
operation of the chain brake prior to using the chainsaw. If the chain brake is not
functioning properly, do not use the chainsaw until repairs have been made.
SAW CHAIN SHARPENING
It is advisable to have professional shops sharpen saw chains. It is beyond the
expertise of the typical home owner to sharpen saw chains.
An improperly sharpened saw chain will not cut effectively, require more physical
effort, cause high vibrations and a higher rate of wear.
