MCW is correct. I cut soft woods mostly and never have dust in the intake. I cut a lot of fire kill as well and that **** dusts out the whole area around you when cutting but those are with bigger saws with better filters and never see dust in there intake either. i lower my rakers down to .030 out of the box though so my chains sling some massive chips very little dust. I actually usually go 3 days cutting with the husky's before I need to clean the filter. Stihls need a filter cleaning twice a day kinda weird how there are a lot of old husky's running that same nylon junk that run great 20yrs later without a rebuild but the new ones can't hack it. Oh well. I'm gonna keep running them. I got enough where I can blow up 15 and still have some left
