To clean the air filter

Clean the air filter regularly from dirt and dust. This prevents carburetor malfunctions, starting problems, loss of engine power, wear to engine parts and more fuel consumption than usual.

Note: Because of different work conditions, weather or season, your product can be used with different types of air filter. Speak to your servicing dealer for more information. Follow the step-by-step guide for general instructions.

Remove and clean the filter

Depending on your saw, please refer to below illustration 1 or 2.

Remove the cylinder cover and the air filter.
Use a brush or shake the air filter clean. Use detergent and water to clean it fully.

Note: An air filter that is used for a long time can not be fully cleaned. Replace the air filter regularly and always replace a defective air filter.
