2. Locate the air filter. It is usually located near the carburetor, on the side or at the back of the engine.
3. Release the air filter cover by loosening any screws or clips that are holding it in place with your supplied wrench.
4. Remove the air filter from the chainsaw.
5. Clean the air filter if it is dirty or replace it if it is damaged.

7. If the air filter is extremely dirty, you can wash it in soap and water, but make sure to let it dry completely before reinstalling it.
8. Reinstall the air filter by reversing the steps you took to remove it. Make sure the air filter cover is securely in place.
