oil must be used with the pre-lter. Wet the pre-lter
with a capful (about 20 ccm) of DOLMAR air-lter oil
(Order No. 980 008 128, biodegradable).
Knead the pre-lter to evenly distribute the oil. Then
squeeze out any excess oil.

instructions.
If cleaning is not possible on-site, have spare pre-lters on
hand (Order No. 395 173 090).
To insert the pre-lter in the lter cover, position it so it ts the
space in the cover and then press it in (5). The pre-lter must
t completely and cover all parts of the lter space, without
leaving any spaces unltered.
Inner lters (all models)

in lukewarm soapy water with regular dishwashing liquid or
DOLMAR lter cleaner (Order No. 980 008 127).

Air lter insert (paper cartridge, all models)
The air lter insert (2, Order No. 395 173 010) lters the intake
air through a very ne paper lter lamella system. For the rea-
son the cartridge must never be washed. Clean the air lter
insert once a week.
To clean the air lter insert, spread it out slightly and carefully
tap it against a clean surface.
Replace the air lter insert every 100 operating hours. Replace
it immediately if there is a drop in power, drop in speed, or
smoke in the exhaust.
Before installing the lter system, check the intake opening to
make sure no dirt particles have fallen in. If they have, remove
them.
CAUTION: Turn off the engine before cleaning the air lter! Never clean out the air lter with compressed air! Do
not clean the pre-lter and inner lter with fuel.
The service life of the engine depends on the condition and regular maintenance of the lter elements. Failure to
perform maintenance and cleaning at the prescribed intervals will cause increased wear inside the engine!
If the air lter becomes damaged, replace immediately! Pieces of cloth or large dirt particles can destroy the engine!
Do not work in dusty conditions when it can be avoided! The ne dust generated when dry-cutting concrete and stone
is hazardous to the health of the operator and also shortens the service life of the engine. Whenever possible, wet-cut
with water when working in concrete and stone, to bind the dust.
