Just a spring loaded hand guard that does pretty much nothing.

I repaired a 009L for a good friend of mine over the winter. He bought it new, and I can tell you it's been used. All that was wrong was the carb gasket was blocking the impulse hole. He had it tuned and the carb rebuilt at a place in town...it wouldn't run when he got it home. Anyway, after I got it straightened out I used it all the next day to limb with...great little saw...been wanting one for myself ever since.

I got bored so i decided to go investagate this saw. I was very surprised to find a mahle cylinder on such a little ''home owners'' saw. Pulled the muffler while i was at it and the cylinder looks good too. Had a little carbon build on the top of the piston, Probably from years of cheep oil. All and all, im pretty happy with it.

I just picked up this one from craigslist for $50.Seems to run ok,but probably has old gas it and a dirty air filter.Any one have a service manual and IPL for this saw?

The vent is supposed to have a "grub screw" in it to help prevent leaking. If the line looks crudded up, remove the screw and blow it out, then put the screw back in.
