Air Compressor

[dave ensign]

If an air compressor is not in your tool bag, how do you clean-out your saw?

I can work weeks without access to air. I just bush it out at the end of each day...clean it good when I get back to the shop.

I have bought saws which looked like they had long lives without ever being blown out.

A small paint brush works

Attachment didn't work for me. Does that have something to do with your question? A toothbrush works fine.

In the field, away from the compressor, I wire brush the air filter cloth band, wipe off the bar (engine end), use a Stens bar groove tool, spray WD40 in the bar tip, wipe off the bar oil and fuel caps, slide a scabbard over the bar/chain and call it done. At home I do these steps then blow things off including the engine fins.

Brake clean if i have to. I dont like it on my air filters repeatedly. I've used PB in a pinch. My old mechanic used a parts washer all the time.

Small putty knife for the bar. Twigs or firm grass to get at the oiler hole.

Toothbrush or bristled brush for the case.

Not complex.


Oh, and a gas bath for the air filter if it's really bad.
