How to change the fuel filter on a chainsaw

Keeping a fuel filter in your Husqvarna chainsaw clean is important for the longevity of the product as well as for it to work in optimal condition.

The purpose of the fuel filter is to filter out small particles from the fuel before it enters the engine.
