Change and clean the spark plug Fig. 32 - 33
1. Once the engine has cooled, remove the spark plug
using the socket spanner supplied.
2. Clean the plug with a wire brush.
3. Using a feeler gauge; set the gap to 0.5-0.7 mm.
4. Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-
threading.
5. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with spanner to
compress the washer.
Clean the air filter Fig. 28 - 31
Soiled air filters reduce the engine power by supplying
too little air to the carburetor. Regular checks are there-
fore essential.
• Unclip the air filter cover and remove the sponge filter
element.
• To avoid objects falling into the air tank, replace the air
filter cover.
• Wash the filter element in warm soap water, rinse and
allow drying naturally.
Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or in-
flammable solvents.
m Warning!
Never run the engine without the air filter element in-
stalled.
Checking the oil level
m CAUTION! Never run the engine with no or too little
oil. This could cause severe damage to the engine. Use
only SAE30 / 10W30 engine oil.
Checking the oil level (Fig. 45):
• Laying unit on a flat surface.
• Unscrew the oil dip stick by turning anticlockwise, pull
out and wipe. Insert the dip stick back in the filling
mount as far as the stop.
• Pull out the dip stick again and read off the oil lev-
el while holding horizontally. The oil level must
be between the maximum and the minimum
Changing the oil (Fig. 44-45)
• Change the engine oil every year before the start of the
season when the engine is warm.
• Use only engine oil (SAE30 / 10W30).
• Open the oil filler screw ( 23).
• Drain the warm engine oil into a drip tray.
• Fill up with engine oil as far as the top mark on the
dipstick (approx. 0.315 l).
Dispose of the used oil in accordance with applicable
regulations.
Lubricate angle transmission
Lubricate with lithium-based grease. Remove the screw
and put in the grease, turning the shaft manually until
grease emerges, then replace the screw.
Storing the unit
After cutting, clean the unit thoroughly. Store the unit in a
dry room allow the motor to cool down beforehand.
Important hint in case of sending the equipment to a
service station:
Due to security reasons please see to it that the equip-
ment is sent back free of oil and gas!

11. Storage

Cleaning
• Keep handles free of oil, so you always have a secure hold.
• Clean the equipment as required with a damp cloth
and, if necessary, mild washing up liquid.
m Important!
• Always pull out the spark boot plug each time before
carrying out any cleaning.
• Never immerse the equipment in water or other liquids
in order to clean it.
• Store the chainsaw in a safe and dry place out of the
reach of children.
Storage
Important: Never put the equipment into storage for long-
er than 30 days without carrying out the following steps.
Storing the equipment
If you intend to store the equipment for longer than 30
days, the equipment must be prepared accordingly. Oth-
erwise the fuel still remaining in the carburetor will evapo-
rate and leave a rubbery sediment. This can cause prob-
lems when starting up the equipment and may require
expensive repairs.
1 Slowly remove the fuel tank cap to release any pres-
sure that may have formed in the tank. Carefully empty
the tank.
2 To remove the fuel from the carburetor, start the engine
and let it run until the equipment stops.
3 Leave the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
4 Remove the spark plug (see section 10 Change and
clean the spark plug).
5 Add one teaspoon of 4-stroke engine oil into the com-
bustion chamber. Slowly pull the starter cord several
times to apply a layer of oil to all internal components.
Fit the spark plug again.
Note: Store the equipment in a dry place and far away
from possible ignition sources such as an oven, a gas-fi
red hot water boiler, a gas-fi red dryer, etc.
Putting the equipment back into operation
1 Remove the spark plug (see section 10 Change and
clean the spark plug).
2 Quickly tug on the starter cord to remove excess oil
from the combustion chamber.
3 Clean the spark plug and check that the electrode gap
is correct, or insert a new spark plug with the correct
electrode gap.
