    The use of any cut-off

    machine may behazardous. Because acut-off machine is ahigh-speed, fast-cutting

    power tool, special safety precautionsmust be observed to reduce the risk ofpersonal injury and fire.

    It is important that you read, fully under-stand and observe the following safety

    precautions and warnings.

    Read the OwnersManual and the safetyinstructions periodically.

    Careless or improper use of anycut-off machine may cause serious orfatal injury.

    Have your STIHL dealer show youhow to operate your cut-off machine.Observe all applicable local safetyregulations, standards and ordinances.

    Minors should never be allowed to use acut-off machine. Bystanders, especiallychildren and animals should not be

    allowed in the area where a cut-offmachine is in use. Never let the cut-offmachine run unattended.

    Do not lend or rent your cut-off machinewithout the Owners Manual. Be surethat anyone using your cut-off machineunderstands the information contained

    in this manual. Employers should estab-

    lish a training program for operators ofgasoline powered, hand held portable,cutt-off machines to assure safe oper-ation of these machines. These safetyprecautions and warnings apply to theuse of all STIHL Cutquiks

    TM.

    Different models may have differentparts and controls. See the appropriatesection of your owners manual for a

    description of the controls and functionof the parts of your model cut-offmachine.

    Safe use of a cut-off machine involves- the operator- the cut-off machine- the use of the cut-off machine.

    You must be in good physical conditionand mental health and not under theinfluence of any substance (drugs.alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,dexterity or judgement. Do not operate acut-off machine when you are fatigued.

    Be alert - if you get tired while operatingyour cut-off machine, take a break, tired-ness may result in loss of control.Working with any cut-off machine can bestrenuous. If you have any condition thatmight be aggravated by strenuous work,check with your doctor before operatinga cut-off machine.

    worn AV buffers will tend to have

    higher vibration levels.- Maintain a firm grip at all times, but

    do not squeeze the handles withconstant, excessive pressures, takefrequent breaks.

    All the above mentioned precautions donot guarantee that you will not sustainwhitefinger disease or carpal tunnelsyndrome. Therefore continual and

    regular users should monitor closely thecondition of their hands and fingers.If any of the above symptoms appear,seek medical advice immediately.

    Clothing must be sturdyand snug-fitting, but allowcomplete freedom ofmovement. Avoid loose-

    fitting jackets, scarfs,neckties, jewelry, flared or cuffed pants,unconfined long hair or anything thatcould become caught on any obstaclesor moving parts of the unit. Wear over-alls or long pants to protect your legs.Do not wear shorts.

    When cutting metal, a cut-off machinegenerates sparks which can igniteclothing. Most fabrics used in clothingare flammable - even flame retardantfabrics will ignite at higher temperatures.To reduce the risk of burn injury STIHLrecommends wearing clothing made ofleather, wool, flame-retardant treated

    cotton or a tightly woven, heavier cotton

    such as denim. Some flame-retardantsynthetic fabrics are also suitable butothers such as polyester, nylon, rayonand acetate can melt during fire into atar-like matter that burns into the skin.Keep clothing free of oil, fuel, greaseand other flammable substances.

    Protect your hands withgloves when handling the

    cut-off machine.Heavy-duty, nonslipgloves improve your gripand protect your hands.

    Good footing is most im-portant in cut-off machinework.Wear sturdy boots withnonslip soles. Steel-toed

    safety boots are recommended.

    Loose objects may be thrown toward theoperator by the cutting tool.

    To reduce the risk ofinjury to your eyes neveroperate a cut-off machineunless wearing goggles

    or properly fitted safetyglasses with adequate top and sideprotection complying with ANSI Z 87.1.Proper eye protection is a must.

    and any bystanders should always wear

    a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHAfor the material being cut.

    Cutting masonry, concrete and othermaterials with silica in their compositionmay give off dust containing crystallinesilica. Silica is a basic component ofsand, quartz, brick clay, granite and

    numerous other minerals and rocks.Repeated and/or substantial inhalationof airborne crystalline silica can causeserious or fatal respiratory diseases,including silicosis. In addition, Californiaand some other authorities have listedrespirable crystalline silica as a sub-stance known to cause cancer. Whencutting such materials, always follow therespiratory precautions mentioned

    above.

    Breathing asbestos dust is dangerousand can cause severe or fatal injury,respiratory illness or cancer. The useand disposal of asbestos-containingproducts have been strictly regulated byOSHA and the Environmental ProtectionAgency. Do not use your cutting-off

    machine to cut or disturb asbestos,asbestos-containing products, or pro-ducts such as pipes which are wrappedor covered with asbestos insulation. Ifyou have any reason to believe that youmight be cutting asbestos, immediatelycontact your employer or a local OSHArepresentative.

    Parts of the cut-off machine, illustrationsand definitions of the parts see pages2 and 3.

    Never modify a cut-off machine in anyway. Only attachments supplied bySTIHL or expressly approved by STIHL

    for use with the specific STIHL cut-offmachine models are authorized.Although certain unauthorized attach-ments are useable with the STIHLpowerhead, their use may, in fact beextremely dangerous.

    Dust may collect on the powerhead,

    especially around the carburetor andmay collect gasoline resulting in dangerof fire. Clean dust from the powerheadregularly.

    Before assembling your cutting wheel

    make sure that the maximum operatingwheel speed is above or equal to thespindle speed of your cut-off machine asprovided in the Specifications of thismanual.

    Never use carbide-tipped, wood-cuttingor circular saw blades. They can causesevere personal injury from reactiveforces, blade contact or thrown objects.Your STIHL dealer stocks a range ofspecial abrasive wheels for the manyapplications of the cut-off machine.

    Use of the wrong abrasive wheel or

    material for which it was not designedmay cause that wheel to shatter causingserious or fatal injury.

    Only use the abrasive wheel approvedfor the type of material to be cut. Thereare different abrasive wheels eachspecially marked, for example:

    1. StoneAlso can be used for concrete,masonary, reinforced concreteand brick cutting.

    2. SteelCan be used for all ferrous metalcutting.

    3. AsphaltAlso can be used for aggregate

    concrete cutting.4. Ductile iron

    Also can be used for certain gradesof cast iron (SG 17-24), bronze andcopper cutting.

    For cutting composite materials pleaseask your STIHL dealer.

    Diamond abrasive wheels have a muchbetter cutting performance than theabrasive wheels. The wheels are steelcentered and diamond particles areimbedded in their cutting edges.

    They can be used for concrete, asphalt,natural stone, clay pipe, brick and thelike.

    They are not suitable for cutting metal orother materials.

    Wet or dry cutting is possible. With wetcutting you get a longer life of yourwheel. Water attachments are availablefor your STIHL cut-off machine.See the appropriate section of yourowners manual.

    Do not remount a used diamondabrasive wheel without first inspectingfor under-cutting, flatness, core fatigue,segment damage or loss, signs ofoverheating (discoloration) and possiblearbor hole damage.Check the wheel for cracks and make

    sure that no pieces have broken off thewheel before use.

    Always fit the wheel so that the arrow onthe wheel points in direction of therotation of the spindle.

    A wheel damaged during transportation

    may shatter during operation and causeserious personal injury.

    For assembly, follow the proceduredescribed at the appropriate section ofyour owners manual.

    Before operation of your cut-off machinebe sure the controls (e.g. throttle trigger,stop switch.) and the safety devices areworking properly, the carburetor idle andmaximum speed are correctly adjusted,and the wheel guard is in place andsecurely fastened to your unit.All wheels should be carefully inspectedfor good condition before mounting.

    Adjust the wheel guard sothat sparks, dust and cutmaterial are deflectedaway from the operator,and cannot reach

    flammable surroundings. See operatinginstructions of your owners manual.

    Never operate a cut-off machine that is

    damaged, improperly adjusted or notcompletely and securely assembled.Inspect for safety in operation.

    Proper tension of the V-belt is important.In order to avoid a false setting thetensioning procedure must be followedas described in your Manual. Always

    make sure the hexagonal collar nuts for

    the cast arm are tightened securely.Check V-belt tension after one hour ofoperation and correct if necessary.

    Always make sure that the fuel cap istightened securely. Check for fuelleakage while refueling and duringoperation. If a fuel leak is suspected,do not start or run the engine until leak isfixed and spilled fuel has been wipedaway.

    Unit vibrations cancause an improperlytightened fuel cap toloosen or come off andspill quantities of fuel.

    In order to reduce risk of fuel spillageand fire, tighten fuel cap by hand with as

    much force as possible.The screw driver end of the STIHLcombination wrench or other similar toolcan be used as an aid in tighteningslotted fuel caps.

    Your cut-off machine is a one-persontool. Do not allow otherpersons to benear the cut-off machine. Start andoperate your cut-off machine withoutassistance. For specific starting instruc-tions, see the appropriate section of yourowners manual.

    Do not drop start. This method is very

    dangerous because you may loosecontrol of the cut-off machine.Place the cut-off machine on firm groundor other solid surface in an open area.

    Maintain a good balance and securefooting. Be absolutely sure that thecutting wheel is clear of you and all otherobstructions and objects, including theground; because when the engine starts

    at starting-throttle, engine speed will befast enough for the clutch to engageV-belt pulley and turn the wheel. Neverattempt to start the cut-off machinewhen the abrasive wheel is in a cut.When you pull the starter grip, dontwrap the starter rope around your hands.

    Never use the cut-off machine with one

    hand. Your STIHL cut-off machine isdesigned for hand-held use or operationon a cut-off machine cart. Cutting withyour cut-off machine resting on theground or other surface can causeexcessive wear to the bracket designedto protect the bottom of the tankhousing. Loss of fuel and personal injuryfrom fire may result. Replace damagedor badly worn brackets immediately.

    Grip: Always hold the cut-off machinefirmly with both hands when the engineis running. Place your left hand on fronthandle bar and your right hand on rearhandle and throttle trigger.

    Left-handed users should follow thisinstruction too.Wrap your fingers tightly around the

    handles, keeping the handles cradledbetween your thumbs and forefingers.Make sure your cut-off machine handlesand grip are in good condition and freeof moisture, pitch, oil or grease.

    Avoid standing in direct line with the

    wheel.

    Take extreme care in wet and freezingweather (rain, snow, ice). Clear the areawhere you are working.

    Avoid stumbling on obstacles and watchout for holes or ditches. Be extremelycautious when working on slopes oruneven ground.

    Never operate the cut-off machine withthe starting-throttle lock engaged as thisdoes not permit proper control of the

    ricochet. Failure to follow this instruction

    could result in serious or fatal injury.The ideal working speed of the cut-offmachine depends on many factors, e. g.,the material being cut, the type andquality of the cutting wheel.

    It is essential to determine the directionof the cut exactly before applying theabrasive wheel to the work. Wheels areconstructed for pressure only.

    pressure must be avoided.

    Check for cracks and make sure that nopieces have broken off from the wheelwhen it is stopped.Check the wheel guard for cracks. If youdiscover any cracks, fit a new guard.

    Hold the cut-off machine steady. Do notchange the direction of the cut duringthe cut as this may produce a hightorsional load on the abrasive wheel andmay cause it to break or shatter.

    To achieve a clean and efficient cut, pullthe abrasive wheel across the work ormove it "to and fro" in the cuttingdirection. Do not use force to push the

    abrasive wheel into the work.

    Insert the wheel into the material only asdeep as necessary to make the cut.To reduce the amount of dust created,do not cut all the way through stone andconcrete materials - leave a thin pieceuncut. For most such materials, this

    piece can be easily broken afterwards.

    Do not cock, jam or wedge the wheel inthe cut.

    Do not use abrasive wheels for roughgrinding. Large bending stresses occurduring such work and abrasive wheelsmay shatter or break and could causeserious or fatal injury.

    If a cut-off machine cart is used, sweepdebris from the path of the wheels assuch may cause flexing of the abrasivewheel. This would result in high frictionalforces and thus greatly reduce theengine power available for the actualcutting work.

    Always use the cart to cut in a straight

    line.

    When cutting masonry with a waterattachment:

    1. Make certain water does not flow onwheel that is not running, since the

    wheel will absorb water and that willaffect wheel balance.

    These reactive forces may result in the

    operator losing control of the cut-offmachine, which may, in turn, result inserious or fatal injury.

    An understanding of the causes of thesereactive forces may help you avoid lossof control. Reactive forces are exerted ina direction opposite to the direction inwhich the wheel is moving at the point ofcontact or pinch.

    Pull-away, climbing and rotationalforces.

    The most common reactive forces arepull-away and climbing. If the contact isat the bottom of the wheel, a cut-offmachine will try to pull away from theoperator (pull-away). If the contact is atthe front of the wheel, the wheel may

    attempt to climb the object being cut(climbing). If the wheel is severelypinched at the front, the wheel may beinstantly thrown up and back towardsthe operator with a great force in arotational motion. The greater the forcegenerated, the more difficult it will be forthe operator to control the cut-offmachine. Any of the reactive forces can,in some circumstances, cause the

    operator to lose control of a cut-offmachine, allowing the rotating wheel tocome into contact with the operator.Severe personal injury or death canresult.

    Use only cutting attachment authorizedby STIHL. use chipped abrasive

    wheels, circular saw blades, carbide

    tipped blades, rescue blades or wood-abrasive or toothed blades of any natureon a cut-off machine. The use of suchwheels or blades will greatly increasethe risk of loss of control and severepersonal injury or death from reactiveforces, since the chipped section of anabrasive wheel, or the teeth of a sawblade may catch in the material beingcut and generate substantially greater

    reactive forces.

    Cut-off machines are designed for usewith abrasive wheels in good condition Machines designed for use withwood-abrasive or other toothed bladesuse different types of guarding systemswhich provide the protection neccessaryfor those types of blades. Machines,such as a cut-off machine, which are

    designed for use with abrasive wheels,require a different guarding systemwhich is not designed to provide protec-tion against all dangers presented bycircular saw blades, carbide-tippedblades, rescue blades or wood-abrasiveor toothed blades of any nature.

    11. Use your cut-off machine for abrasiveonly. It is not designed for prying orshoveling away any objects.

    12. Do not grind on side of the abrasivewheel.

    13. Do not twist, thrust, knock or drop themachine. This can cause damage

    to the wheel.

    14. Be especially alert for reactive forceswhen abrasive with the front of thewheel.

    15. Be alert to shifting of the work piece

    or anything that could cause the cutto close and pinch the wheel.

    16. Release the pressure on thecut-off machine as you reach theend of the cut. Too much pressuremay cause the operator to losecontrol of the cut-off machine whenthe abrasive wheel completes thecut. The abrasive wheel may con-

    tact the operator or strike someforeign object and shatter.

    17. Use extreme caution whenre-entering a cut and do not turnthe wheel at an angle or push thewheel into the cut as this may resultin a pinching of the wheel.

    Never test the ignition system withignition wire terminal removed fromspark plug or with unseated spark plug,since uncontained sparking may causea fire.

    To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,use only spark plugs authorized bySTIHL. Always press spark plug bootsnugly onto spark plug terminal of theproper size. (Note: If terminal hasdetachable SAE adapter nut, it must beattached.) A loose connection betweenspark plug terminal and ignition wireconnector in the boot may create arcingthat could ignite combustible fumes andcause a fire. Keep spark plug clean, and

    make sure ignition lead is in goodcondition.

    Do not operate your cut-off machine ifthe muffler is damaged, missing or modi-fied. An improperly maintained mufflerwill increase the risk of fire and hearingloss.

    Never touch a hot muffler or spill fuel orother flammable liquid over it. Burn inju-ries or fire will result. If your muffler wasequipped with a spark-arresting screento reduce the risk of fire (e. g. in the USA,Canada and Australia), never operate

    your cut-off machine if the screen is

    missing or damaged.

    Store spare wheels on a flat surface in adry place preferably at a constanttemperature where there is not risk offrost, preferably at a constant

    temperature. Store cut-off machine in ahigh or locked place, away from children.

    Do not store a cut-off machine with awheel mounted on the machine.

    Mounting the Arbor Bearing and Guard

    The cutting blade drive (bearing with arbor and bladeguard) must be assembled before the machine is used forthe first time. The arbor bearing can be mounted to theinboard or outboard side of the cast arm to suit cuttingrequirements. Under normal circumstances the driveshould be mounted inboard of the arm because of thebetter balance and only mounted outboard when required.

    Inboard mounting

    First fit V-belt (1) on the belt pulley (2) and position thebearing plate (3) against the inside of the cast arm (4) sothat the tapped holes line up with the slots in the cast arm.

    Position V-belt guard (5) against the outside of the arm(4). Insert a hex. head screw (6) through one of the twofront holes and screw it into the bearing plate-move V-beltguard to and fro to ease insertion. Now let go of thebearing. Fit the other two screws (6) through the holes inthe V-belt guard (5) and screw them into the bearing plate- the eccentric adjuster (7) must be fitted on the rearscrew.

    Outboard mounting

    Position the bearing plate (3) against the outside of thearm (4) and fit the V-belt (1) on the belt pulley (2). If theV-belt is new, this operation is easier if the M 10 hex. headnut (8) is turned counterclockwise with the combinationwrench (17 mm), i.e. this turns the belt pulley (2).

    Abras ive Wheels

    Cutting wheels for free-hand cutting operations are sub-jected to particularly high bending and compressive stres-ses. STIHL has therefore developed - together with lead-ing abrasive wheel manufacturers - top quality cuttingblades which exactly match the engine characteristics ofthe cut-off-saw. They are of a consistently high qualityand perfectly balanced.

    Out-of-round or poorly balanced abrasive wheelsincrease vibration and reduce the service life of thecut-off-saw. Good abrasive performance can only beachieved with the abrasive wheels supplied by STIHL.

    Abrasive wheels are heat sensitive. Always store yourcutoff-saw in a place where it is not exposed to directsunlight or other sources of heat.

    Store spare cutting wheels in a dry place where there isno risk of frost, preferably at a constant temperature.

    Your STIHL dealer stocks a range of special abrasivewheels (3 and 6 mm / 0.12 and 0.24 in thick) for the mani-fold applications cut-off-saw. For example, wheels forabrasive bituminous material, gravel asphalt, stone, con-crete, clay pipe, structural steel, highly alloyed steel, cast

    iron, non-ferrous metals etc.

    Mounting the abrasive Wheel

    The engine must be switched off and the arbor blockedbefore mounting or removing the abrasive wheel. To dothis, push the locking pin squarely through the hole in theV-belt guard. If one of the V-belt pulley spokes is in theway, use the combination wrench to turn the arbor until thelocking pin can be inserted.

    Slacken off and remove the M 10 hex. head screw with the

    combination wrench (17 mm) and take it off the arbortogether with the front thrust washer.

    The cutting wheel can now be pulled off the arbor andtaken out of the guard. This operation is made easier if theblade guard is turned so that its lower edge is vertical.

    Before fitting the new abrasive wheel, check that the rearthrust washer is positioned so that the notch in its centerhole engages over the lug on the arbor.

    Mount the new abrasive wheel in the reverse sequence tothat described above. Make sure that the locking tab onthe front thrust washer engages in one of the two slots inthe arbor. Use combination wrench to securely tighten theM 10 hex. head screw.

    Pay attention to arrows for direction of rotation when fittinga diamond abrasive wheel.

    If a wider kerf is required (e. g. for installing induction

    loops in road surfaces), two diamond abrasive wheelscan be used side by side. In such a case it is essential toensure that the segments of both wheels are positionedexactly next to one another.

    Important! Two composite wheels must never be usedsimultaneously, for they may break and cause injuriesas they wear down unevenly.

    This engine is certified to operate onunleaded gasoline and with themix ratio 50:1.

    Your two-stroke engine requires amixture of brand-name gasoline andquality two-stroke engine oil with the clas-sification TC.

    Use regular branded unleaded gasolinewith a minimum octane rating of90 RON (U.S.A./Canada: pump octanemin. 89!). If the octane number of theregular grade gasoline in your area islower use premium unleaded fuel.Fuel with a lower octane rating mayresult in preignition (causing "pinging")which is accompanied by an increase inengine temperature. This, in turn,increases the risk of the piston seizureand damage to the engine.

    The chemical composition of the fuel isalso important. Some fuel additives notonly detrimentally affect elastomers(carburetor diaphragms, oil seals, fuellines etc.), but magnesium castings aswell. This could cause running problemsor even damage the engine. For thisreason it is essential that you use onlyname branded fuels!

    Use only STIHL two-stroke engine oil orequivalent branded two-stroke air-cooled engine oils with the classificationTC for mixing.

    We recommend STIHL 50:1 two-strokeengine oil since it is specially formulatedfor use in STIHL engines.

    Do not use BIA or TCW (two-strokewater cooled) mix oils!

    Take care when handling gasoline.Avoid direct contact with the skin andavoid inhaling fuel vapour.

    The canister should be kept tightlyclosed in order to avoid any moisturegetting into the mixture.

    The fuel tank and the canister in whichfuel mix is stored should be cleanedfrom time to time.

    Only mix sufficient fuel for a few dayswork, not to exceed 3 months of storage.Store in approved safety fuel-canistersonly. When mixing, pour oil into thecanister first, and then add gasoline.

    To start, place cut-off-saw on ground, make sure youhave a firm foothold and the cutting blade is clear of allobstructions. Nobody else should be standing within theworking range of the machine.

    Starting p rocedure

    1. If the engine is cold, move choke lever (1) to "Choke".If the engine is warm, move choke lever (1) away from

    "Choke". This procedure also applies when the enginehas been running but is still cold.

    2. Move stop switch (2) away from "STOP".

    3. Set throttle trigger (3) to half-throttle position bypressing in throttle trigger interlock (4), throttle trigger(3) and starting-throttle lock (5) in that order. Let go ofthrottle trigger (3) first and then the starting-throttle-lock(5).

    4. Now hold the saw firmly on the ground with your lefthand on the handlebar (6).

    5. Pull starter grip (5) slowly with your right hand until youfeel the starter engage. Then give starter rope a brisk,strong pull, but do not pull it out more than approx.70 cm (27.5 in) as it might otherwise break.Continue cranking until engine begins to fire. Then, ifyou are starting from cold, move choke lever (1)immediately away from "Choke" (choke opens) and pullagain.

    6. As soon as the engine is running, disengage startingthrottle lock (5) immediately by briefly squeezing thethrottle trigger so that the engine can settle down toidle speed.

    7. The engine is stopped by moving the stop switch (2) tothe "STOP" position.

    Points to observe when starting:

    The choke lever is mechanically connected to thecarburetor's choke valve. The choke valve is closed whenthe choke lever is on "Choke" and open when the chokelever is moved away from "Choke".

    When starting a cold engine only keep the choke lever inthe "Choke" position until the engine begins to fire. Thenmove the choke lever immediately, away from "Choke",even if the engine stops and you have to repeat thestarting procedure. If you leave the choke lever on"Choke", the combustion chamber will flood and stall theengine.

    If you have moved the choke lever away from "Choke"

    after the engine fired and the engine still does not run afterseveral attempts, it is already flooded. In such a case,remove and dry off the spark plug. Clear the combustionchamber by pulling starter rope several times with thespark plug still removed and the stop switch in the "STOP"position. When you now try to start, move the choke leveraway from "Choke", even if the engine is cold, and set thethrottle trigger to the starting-throttle position.

    In very cold weather only open the choke sligtly after

    starting-move choke lever to center position. Allow engineto warm up for a brief period at half-throttle. Then movechoke lever away from "Choke" and disengage thestarting throttle lock.

    A new engine or one which has been run until the fueltank is dry will not start first time after fueling because fuelonly begins to reach the carburetor when the engine hasbeen turned over few times on the starter.

    Place silencer and filter cover on the studs, fit and tighten down moderately.

    Air Fil ter

    The air filter's function is to intercept dust and dirt in thecombustion air and thus reduce wear on enginecomponents.

    Clogged air filters reduce engine power, increase fuelconsumption and make starting more difficult.

    The filter system consists of a prefilter, main filter and

    auxiliary filter. Always clean the prefilter first if enginepower begins to drop off. It should be knocked out on thepalm of your hand or blown out with compressed air. Theprefilter can also be washed out in clean gasoline if it isvery dirty, but must be completely dry before you refit it.For this reason we recommend that you use two prefiltersin rotation.

    Always renew a dirty main filter. We do not recommendcleaning this paper element since the results are

    unsatisfactory and the risk of damaging the filter paper istoo great.

    If the main filter should fail for any reason (e.g. damage),the auxiliary filter will protect the engine from damage.Failure of the main filter is indicated by a noticeable layerof dirt on the flocked wire mesh of the auxiliary filter. If thishappens, clean the auxiliary filter when you change themain filter.

    As long as the main filter is in good condition there is no

    need to clean the auxiliary filter as it is normally kept freefrom dirt.

    Close the choke shutter - move choke lever to "Choke".Unscrew the wingnuts (1) and take off the filter cover (2)and silencer (3). Pull the prefilter (4) off the main filter (5).If necessary, also remove the auxiliary filter (6), knock itout on the palm of your hand and wash it in anon-flammable cleaning solution (warm soapy water).
