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 Þ lter
CAUTION:
 
Turn off the engine before cleaning the air Þ lter! Never clean 
out the air Þ lter with compressed air! Do not use fuel to 
clean the air Þ lter insert (3) and inner Þ lter (6).
The service life of the engine depends on the condition 
and regular maintenance of the Þ lter elements. Failure 
to perform maintenance and cleaning at the prescribed 
intervals will cause increased wear inside the engine!
If the air Þ lter becomes damaged, replace immediately! 
Pieces of cloth or large dirt particles can destroy the engine! 
Do not work in dusty conditions when it can be avoided! 
The  Þ ne dust generated when dry-cutting concrete and 
stone is hazardous to the health of the operator and also 
shortens the service life of the engine. Whenever possible, 
wet-cut with water when working in concrete and stone, 
to bind the dust.
Loosen both bolts (1) and remove the Þ lter cover (2).
Take the air Þ lter cover (3) out of the cover (5).
Loosen the six bolts (4) on the cover and remove the cover.
Remove the inner Þ lter (6).
When reassembling, make sure that the two lugs (7) of the 
Þ lter cover engage in the cover (5).
Inner Þ lter
Wash out the dirty inner Þ lter  (6, Order No. 315 173 020) in 
lukewarm soapy water with regular dishwashing liquid.
Let the inner Þ lter dry thoroughly.
Air Þ lter insert (paper cartridge)
The air Þ lter insert (3, Order No. 315 173 010) Þ lters the intake 
air through a very Þ ne  paper  Þ lter lamella system. For this 
reason the cartridge must never be washed or cleaned with 
compressed air. Check the air Þ lter insert once per month and 
clean if necessary.
To clean the air Þ lter insert, spread it out slightly and carefully 
tap it against a clean surface.
Replace the air Þ lter insert every 500 operating hours. Re-
place it immediately if there is a drop in power, drop in speed, 
or smoke in the exhaust.
Before installing the Þ lter system, check the intake opening to 
make sure no dirt particles have fallen in. If they have, remove 
them.
