Cleaning the air filter:

ance and increases fuel consumption and
harmful emissions. Always clean after 15
tanks of fuel or 5 hours of operation, which-

dusty conditions. A used aire filter can never
be completely cleaned. It is advisable to re-
place your air filter with a new one after every
50 hours of operation, or annually, whichever
comes first.

2. Remove cylinder cover.

pletely before reinstalling.
5. Reinstall air filter.

ing during most of this procedure, Wear your
protective equipment and observe all safety
precautions, The chain must not move at idle
speed.
The carburetor has been carefully set at the
factory. Adjustments may be necessary if
you notice any of the following conditions:
• Chain moves at idle. See iDLE SPEED-T
adjusting procedure.
• Saw will not idle. See IDLE SPEED-T ad-
justing procedure.

crease engine speed.
