Steps:

1. Make sure the chainsaw is turned off and the engine is completely cooled down.
2. Wear protective gloves.

3. You will find the filter cover on the back of your chainsaw.
4. Next, using your hand, unscrew the filter cover nut and remove it. (Photo 2)

5. You can now see your air filter.
6. Grasping it on each side, gently remove it.
7. Once the filter is removed, be careful that no debris or dust enters the air intake, as this could damage the engine and/or clog the carburetor.

8. Now that you have removed your STIHL MS201T air filter, you can replace it by following the steps in reverse order.
9. If your filter is dirty but not damaged, you can clean it. First, use compressed air (compressor) to remove the dirt. Next, clean it with soapy water or STIHL Varioclean Eco cleaner. Let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse it with clean water and let it dry completely in the sun.
