Cleaning the protection hood
Over time, the inside of the protective hood can become caked 
with  material  residue  (especially  from  wet  cutting),  which  if 
allowed to accumulate can hinder the free rotation of the cut-
ting disc. For this reason the hood must be cleaned out from 
time to time.
Take off the cutting wheel with spring washer and remove the 
accumulated material from inside the hood with a strip of wood 
or similar implement.
Clean the shaft and all removed parts.
NOTE: To install the cutting wheel see ”Mounting the cutting 
wheel”.
Cleaning / changing the air filter
Turn the cover lock (11) to the ”Unlocked       ” position and 
carefully remove the filter cover (12).
There are two O-rings (15) between the filter cover (12) and 
the air filter hood (14).
Remove screws (13) and take off the cover (14).
Clean the O-ring (15) with a brush and inspect for damage.
Take the pre-filter (foam, 17) out of the filter cover.
Pull the air filter insert (paper cartridge, 18) out of the cover.
Remove the inner filter (16) from the intake opening.
Note:
Do not allow dirt to get into the carburetor!
Switch the combination switch to ”Choke” or cover the carbure-
tor with a clean cloth.
