• Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing the tool, turn off the motor. Wait for all the moving parts to stop. Disconnect
the spark plug cable and separate it from the spark plug. Otherwise, you could be severely injured and the equipment
could get damaged.
General cleaning
• Clean and unblock all the starter unit ventilation slots
with a brush when necessary.
• In the same way, periodically clean the motor cylinder
wings and the fan wings to remove dirt. Not doing it will
cause the motor to overheat and get damaged.
Cleaning the air filter

• Depending of the time it has been used you can give a
superficial cleaning to the filter by only tapping it against a
flat surface to remove most of the particles.
• You can also blow the filter with compressed air. Do it
in both sides.
• For a more complete cleaning wash the filter in
lukewarm soapy water. Rinse it and let it dry before
installing it back in the tool.
• Install back the air filter verifying it clicks in place.
• Clean the air filter as frequently as necessary to keep it
always clean. Otherwise the motor performance will
diminish.
Fuel filter
• Check frequently the gasoline filter.
• If the filter is dirty, replace it.
• In the gas tank interior is dirty rinse it with gasoline.
Carburetor adjustment
