How to replace and clean the air filter in a Husqvarna chainsaw
The air filter prevents dirt from getting into your Husqvarna chainsaw. A dirty or broken filter can shorten its service life. We have three types of air filters: standard – for normal conditions, winter – for temperatures around freezing point and below, and felt – for dusty and dry conditions.
Follow this easy guide to clean, or change, your air filter
- Use a flathead screwdriver to open the three latches on the cylinder cover of the chainsaw
- Remove the cylinder cover
- Use the screwdriver to lift and release the metal latch that holds the air filter in place
- Check the air filter for dirt and damage
- Open the air filter by carefully putting the screwdriver between the upper and lower part and separating them
- If the air filter is broken or very dirty, you should replace it
- Clean the air filter using a clean brush, or wash it in soap and water
- Put the air filter back together again, and ensure it is placed correctly in the chainsaw before putting the cylinder cover back on
