Abstract
An air filter assembly for a power tool such as a chain saw is provided. The assembly includes a housing with upper and lower components sandwiched about a filter element. The lower housing component includes a plurality of apertures arranged about its periphery for uniformly introducing air into the filter and through an outlet. The outlet is connected to a flexible coupling element adapted to be secured to the carburetor of an internal combustion engine which drives the tool. The upper and lower housing components are easily separated to permit access to the filter element.
