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
) counterclockwise to release it, and
carefully remove the filter cover (

).
There is a gasket (
15
) between the filter cover (
12
) and the
hood (
14
).
Remove screws (
13
) and take off the cover (
14
).
Clean the gasket (
15
) with a brush, and check 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 (

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.
