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 cutting 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 (12). 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 (16) from the intake opening. Note: Do not allow dirt to get into the carburetor! Switch the combination switch to "Choke" or cover the carburetor with a clean cloth. 22
