• Depending on how long the machine is used, you may
clean the filter by superficially tapping it lightly against a
flat and smooth surface to displace most of the sawdust
and dust.

blades to remove debris. Otherwise the motor may get
damaged do to overheating.
• Depending on the type of fuel and oil used, or the
particular working conditions, the exhaust pipe and muffler
orifices may get obstructed with carbon deposits. If the tool
shoes some power loss it may be necessary to eliminate
those deposits to restore performance. Take the tool to a
Authorized Service Center to carry out
this type of service.

Maintenance

Spark Plug Replacement
• The motor runs with a Champion RCJ-6Y spark plug or
Torch L8RTC with 0,025" electrode gap. Replace every year
with an identical spark plug.
• Using a spark plug wrench turn left to loosen the worn
spark plug. Remove it.
• Insert the new spark plug and tighten by hand. Then,
give it half-a-turn using the wrench.
CAUTION • Use care not to damage the spark plug
thread, otherwise the motor gets seriously damaged.
Muffler and Exhaust Cleansing
• Dependent of type of fuel, amount of oil used and / or
conditions, the muffler and exhaust can get clogged with
carbon deposits. If the tool shows loss of power, those
deposits shall need to be removed to improve
performance. Go to a
Service Center to carry out the service.
• The muffler is built with a spark-arrest screen inside the
muffler. After long periods of use the screen gets dirty
and the muffler needs replacement. Go to a
Authorized Service Center to carry
out the replacement.
Tool Storage
When the tool is stored one month or longer consider the
following:
• Drain the fuel tank contents into a gasoline designated
container. All the remaining fuel shall be re-used in other
equipment using 2-stroke motors with 40:1 ratio.
• Run the motor until burning the rest of the fuel and it
off. This way all residual fuel will be eliminated and will
prevent gum deposit build up that damages the fuel
system.
• Clean the tool thoroughly.
• Store the unit in a ventilated area, away from corrosive
agents such as garden chemical products or de-icing salt.
Keep it away from the reach of children.
• Obey all the government regulations concerning fuel
handling and management.
