MAINTAINING THE BLADE
The blade has a second cutting edge. If the blade becomes dull,
remove the blade, turn it upside down and reinstall the blade. If both
sides are dull, replace the blade. Refer to Removing the Blade and
Installing the Blade in the Assembly section.
WARNING:
Do not sharpen the blade. Sharpening the
blade can cause the blade tip to break off while in use.
This can result in severe personal injury.
MAINTAINING THE AIR FILTER
Failure to maintain the air filter can result in poor performance or can
cause permanent damage to the engine. Engine failure due to
improper air filter maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.
Cleaning the Air Filter
1. Open the air filter cover by unscrewing the cover screw (Fig. 34).
2. Remove the air filter from the air filter housing (Fig. 34).
3. Wash the air filter in detergent and water. Rinse the air filter
thoroughly and allow it to dry.
4. Lightly coat the air filter with clean SAE 30 oil.
5. Squeeze the air filter to spread and remove excess oil.
6. Reinstall the air filter in the air filter housing (Fig. 34).
NOTE: Operating the unit without the air filter and air filter cover will
VOID the warranty.
7. Insert the hooks on the air filter housing into the slots on the air
filter cover (Fig. 35).
8. Swing the air filter cover to the right and align the cover screw
with the cover screw hole (Fig. 35). Tighten the cover screw to
secure the air filter cover.
NOTE: Do not over tighten as this may strip the screw.
