Cleaning the air filter:
A dirty air  filter decreases engine  perform-
ance and increases  fuel consumption and
harmful emissions. Always clean after every
5
hours of operation.

dirt and sawdust from falling into carbure-
tor chamber when cover is removed.

CAUTION: It is important  to prevent gum
deposits from forming in essential  fuel sys-
tem parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter,
fuel hose, or fuel tank during storage. Alco-
hol blended fuels  (called gasohol or using
ethanol or  methanol)  can attract  moisture
which leads to fuel  mixture separation and
formation  of acids  during  storage. Acidic
gas can damage the engine.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS
Your  carburetor  is  equipped  with   limiter
caps. Carburetor  adjustment  is  a compli-
cated task.  We recommend  that you  take
your unit  to an Authorized  Service Dealer.
Damage will  occur if you  turn the needles
beyond the limiter stops.
BAR MAINTENANCE
If your saw cuts to one side, hasto beforced
through the cut, or has been run with an im-
proper amount of bar lubrication  it may be
necessary to  service your bar. A  worn bar
