7.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor

housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device
n
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
n
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts
of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.

Perform a chain brake test prior to initial cutting,
following extensive cutting, and definitely following
any Chain brake service.
Test chain brake as follows (Fig. 10) :
1. Place saw on a clear, firm, flat surface.
2. Start engine.
3. Grasp the rear handle (A) with your right hand.
4. With your left hand, hold the front handle (B) [not
chain brake lever (C)] firmly.
5. Squeeze the throttle trigger to 1/3 throttle, then
immediately activate the chain brake lever (C).
Warning: Activate the chain brake slowly and
deliberately. Keep the chain from touching anything;
don't let the saw tip forward.

immediately release the throttle trigger.
Warning: If chain does not stop, turn engine off
and take your unit to the nearest Talon Authorized
Service Center for service.
7. If chain brake functions properly, turn the engine
off and return the chain brake to the
DISENGAGED position.

be cleaned or replaced after every 20 hours of
service.
Cleaning the air filter (Fig. 18A/18B)

3. Clean air filter. Wash filter in clean, warm, soapy
water. Rinse in clear, cool water. Air dry
completely.
Note: It is advisable to have a supply of spare filters.
4. Insert the air filter. Fit the cover for the engine/air
filter. Make sure that the cover fits perfectly when
you do so. Tighten the fastening screw for the
cover.

7.2.3 Fuel filter

Warning:Never use the saw without a fuel filter.
After 100 hours in operation the fuel filter should be

5. Pull off the filter with a twist and clean it; if the
filter is damaged, dispose of it.
6. Insert a new filter. Place one end of the filter into
the tank opening. Make sure that the filter is
seated in the lower corner of the tank. If
necessary, use a long screwdriver to move the
filter to its correct position, taking care not to
damage in the process.
