COOLING SYSTEM
To keep the working temperature as low as
possible the machine is equipped with a
cooling system.
The cooling system consists of:
S Air intake on the starter
HELPFUL TIP

oilmixture, theoil willsepa-
rate from the gas.
We recommend that you
shake the gas can weekly
toinsureproper blendingof
the gas and oil.
S Air guide plate
S Fins on the flywheel
S Cooling fins on the cylinder
S Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the
cylinder)
Clean the cooling system with a brush after
each use, more often in demanding condi-
tions. A dirty or blocked cooling system re-
sults in the machine overheating which
causes damage to the piston and cylinder.

ommended type and heat range.

steps after each use:
S Allow the engine to cool, and secure the
unit before storing or transporting.

lated area where fuelvapors cannotreach
sparks or openflames from water heaters,
electric motors or switches, furnaces, etc.

and position chain saw so that any sharp
object cannot accidentally cause injury.
