Muffler

damage and rust. If you find that exhaust gas leaked out,
Please check or repair in the repair specialty store. At the

■ Saw Chain

always keep the cutters sharp.
The cutters need to be sharpened when:
• Sawdust becomes powder-like.
• You need extra force to saw in.
• The cut path does not go straight.
• Vibration increases.
• Fuel consumption increases.
Cutter setting standards:
Be sure to wear safety gloves.
Before filing:
• Make sure the saw chain is held securely.
• Make sure the engine is stopped.
• Use a round file of proper size for the chain.
Chain type:
91VG
File size:
5/32 in (4.0 mm)
Place the file on the cutter and push straight forward.
Keep the file position as illustrated.
After each cutter has been filed, check the depth gauge
and file it to the proper level as illustrated.
