Chain Sharpening - HIKOKI CS 33EB Mode D'emploi

Remove the air fi lter cover (40) and the fi lter (39).
Rinse them in warm soap suds. Check that the fi lter is dry before
reassembly. An air fi lter that has been used for some time cannot be
cleaned completely. Therefore, it must regularly be replaced with a
new one. A damaged fi lter must always be replaced.
Spark plug (Fig. 34)
The spark plug condition is infl uenced by:
○ An incorrect carburetor setting.
○ Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the gasoline)
○ A dirty air fi lter.
○ Hard running conditions (such as cold weather).
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which
may result in malfunction and starting diffi culties. If the engine is
low on power, diffi cult to start or runs poorly at idling speed, always
check the spark plug fi rst. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check
the electrode gap. Readjust if necessary. The correct gap is 0.6 mm.
The spark plug should be replaced after about 100 operation hours
or earlier if the electrodes are badly eroded.
NOTE
In some areas, local law requires using a resistor spark plug
to suppress ignition signals. If this machine was originally
equipped with resistor spark plug, use same type of spark plug
for replacement.
Oiler port (Fig. 35)
Clean the chain oiler port (41) whenever possible.
Guide bar (Fig. 36)
Before using the machine, clean the groove and oiler port (42) in the
guide bar.
Side case (Fig. 37)
Always keep the side case and drive area clean of saw dust and
debris. Periodically apply oil or grease to this area to protect from
corrosion as some trees contain high levels of acid.
NOTE
Pull up the front hand guard towards you and release the brake
to remove or install the side case.
Fuel fi lter (Fig. 38)
Remove the fuel fi lter from the fuel tank and thoroughly wash it in
solvent. After that, push the fi lter into the tank completely.
NOTE
If the fuel fi lter (43) is hard due to dust and dirt, replace it.
Chain oil fi lter (Fig. 38)
Remove the oil fi lter and thoroughly wash it in solvent. After that,
push the fi lter into the tank completely.
NOTE
If the oil fi lter (44) is hard due to dust and dirt, replace it.
Icing protection system (Fig. 39)
This system is to protect carburetor from icing when the unit is
operated in winter time.
1. To activate the icing protection system, remove air fi lter cover
(40). Pull out the shutter (45) from inside the air fi lter cover and
reinstall it in winter time position by fl ipping the shutter. (Fig.
39-b) This will allow heated air to fl ow from cylinder side to
carburetor cabin through the opening (46).
NOTE
When spring arrives and carburetor will not suff er from icing,
make sure that the shutter is reinstalled in ordinary position.
(Fig. 39-a)
For long-term storage
Drain all fuel from the fuel tank. Start and let engine run until it stops.
Repair any damage which has resulted from use. Clean the unit with
a clean rag, or the use of high pressure air hose. Put a few drops of
two-cycle engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole,
and spin the engine over several times to distribute oil.
Cover the unit and store it in a dry area.

WARNING
○ Gloves should be used when sharpening chain.
○ Be sure to round off the front edge to reduce the chance of
kickback or tie-strap breakage.

LOWERING DEPTH GAUGES WITH A FILE
WARNING
○ Do not smoothen the upper part of the guard tie straps (60) or
bumper drive links (61) with a fi le or deform them. (Fig. 42)
○ Adjust the depth gauge to the specifi ed setting.
Failure to observe the above raises the possibility of a kickback
and may result in injury.
1) If you sharpen your cutters with a fi le holder, check and lower the
depth.
2) Check depth gauges every third sharpening.
3) Place depth gauge tool on cutter. If depth gauge projects, fi le
it level with the top of the tool. Always fi le from the inside of the
chain toward an outside cutter. (Fig. 43)
4) Round off front corner to maintain original shape of depth gauge
after using depth gauge tool. Always follow the recommended
depth gauge setting found in the maintenance or operator
manual for your chain saw. (Fig. 44)
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILING CUTTERS
File (62) cutter on one side of the chain from the inside out. File on
forward stroke only. (Fig. 45)
5) Keep all cutters the same length. (Fig. 42)
6) File enough to remove any damage to cutting edges (side plate
(63) and top plate (64)) of cutter. (Fig. 46)
