These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which
may result in malfunction and starting diffi culties. If the engine
is low on power, diffi cult to start or runs poorly at idling speed,
always check the spark plug fi rst. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it
and check the electrode gap. Re-adjust if necessary. The correct
gap is 0.6 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about 100
operation hours or earlier if the electrodes are badly eroded.
Angle transmission (Fig. 30)
Check angle transmission or angle gear for grease level about every
50 hours of operation by removing the grease fi ller plug on the side
of angle transmission.
If no grease can be seen on the fl anks of the gears, fi ll the
transmission with quality lithium based multipurpose grease up to
3/4. Do not completely fi ll the transmission.
Blade
WARNING
Wear protective gloves when handling or performing
maintenance on the blade. (Fig. 31)
○ Use a sharp blade. A dull blade is more likely to snag and thrust.
Replace the fastening nut if it is damaged and hard to tighten.
○ When replacing blade, purchase one recommended by Hitachi,
with a 25.4 mm (one inch) fi tting hole.
○ When installing a saw blade, always face the stamped side up.
In the case of a 3 tooth blade, it can be used on either side.
○ Use the correct blade for the type of work.
○ When replacing blades, use appropriate tools.
○ When cutting edges become dull, re-sharpen or fi le as shown
in the illustration. Incorrect sharpening may cause excessive
vibration.
○ Discard blades that are bent, warped, cracked, broken or
damaged in any way.
NOTE
When sharpening blade it is important to maintain an original
shape of radius at the base of the tooth to avoid cracking.
Nylon head
Nylon line replacement
○ Remove the cutting body cap by pushing inward the locking
tabs on the side of the nylon head (Fig. 32). Take out the spool
(Fig. 33), hook the new nylon line into the hole of the spool, then
wind it around the spool (Fig. 34).
When the nylon line has been wound around the spool,
temporarily fasten it in the opening of the spool at about 10 cm
from the end. (Fig. 35) Then thread the nylon line through the
hole on the side of the nylon head and place the cutting body
cap in reverse order of the cap removal (Fig. 36). Pull the right and
left nylon lines until they are secured about 15 - 16 cm from the
end. (Fig. 37)
NOTE
○ The nylon head is designed for nylon lines with an outer
diameter of 2.5 mm. Do not use nylon lines with a diff erent outer
diameter.
○ Make sure that the right and left nylon lines are of equal length
since vibrations will otherwise increase.
Flexible shaft
Lubricate fl exible shaft from clutch housing side by removing it
every 20 hours of use.
Maintenance schedule
Below you will fi nd some general maintenance instructions. For
