cated task. We recommend that you take

S Clean the cover and the area around it to
keep dirt and sawdust from falling into the
carburetor chamber when the cover is re-
moved.
S Remove the parts as illustrated below.
S Wash the filter in soap and water. Air dry
completely before reinstalling.
BAR MAINTENANCE
If your saw cuts to one side, has to be forced
through the cut, or been run with an improper
amount of bar lubrication it may be neces-
sary to service your bar. A wornbar will dam-
age your chain and make cutting difficult.
After each use, ensure ON/STOP switch is
in the STOP position, then clean all sawdust
from the guide bar and sprocket hole.
To maintain guide bar:
S Lightly oil air filter before installing to im-
prove the efficiency of the air filter. Use
