If you understand what each of the various Homlite chainsaw parts do then you will better understand how to operate it. Also by knowing the way this parts work will also help with you taking better care of your chainsaw.
A well maintained chainsaw is not only going to last considerably longer but will also be a much safer piece of equipment to use. Below we take a look at some of the parts that you may need to replace on your chainsaw because of the amount of stress that they are being placed under.
1. Flywheel - This part is what not only helps to control the speed at which the engine is running but to help it remain cool. This part needs to be cleaned regularly to ensure that dust or debris cannot build up on it and which can lead to it becoming damaged.
2. Clutch - This is what controls the driving part of the saw and is connected to the chain sprocket and so is going to be a part that is going to be affected by dirt and dust. Again like the flywheel following each use you need to make sure that it is clean of such contaminants. If not this could lead to this part seizing.
3. Throttle and Throttle Interlock - Both of these are important parts of the chainsaw and which ensure that the saw will run at its optimum levels. If not cared for properly then the amount of fuel being allowed to get through to the motor to run the blade will be sorely affected. So if you can following every 10 hours use check that the throttle is still tight and retighten if you need to.
