CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

WARNING:

The chain will be moving

during most of this procedure. Wear your

protective equipment and observe all safety

precautions. The chain must not move at idle

speed.

The carburetor has been carefully set at the

factory. Adjustments may be necessary if

you notice any of the following conditions:

Chain moves at idle. See IDLE SPEED--T

adjusting procedure.

Saw will not idle. See IDLE SPEED--T ad-

justing procedure.

Idle Speed--T

Allow engine to idle. If the chain moves, idle is

too fast. If the engine stalls, idle is too slow. Ad-

just speed until engine runs without chain

movement (idle too fast) or stalling (idle too

slow). The idle speed screw is located in the

area above the primer bulb and is labeled T.

Turn idle screw (T) clockwise to increase

engine speed.

Turn idle screw (T) counterclockwise to

decrease engine speed.

If you require further assistance or are unsure

about performing this procedure, contact your

authorized service dealer or call our customer

assistance help line at 1--800--554--6723.

COOLING SYSTEM

To keep the working temperature as low as

possible the machine is equipped with a

cooling system.

The cooling system consists of:

Air intake on the starter

Air guide plate

Fins on the flywheel

Cooling fins on the cylinder

Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the

cylinder)

Clean the cooling system with a brush after

each use, more often in demanding condi-

tions. A dirty or blocked cooling system re-

sults in the machine overheating which

causes damage to the piston and cylinder.

STORAGE

WARNING:

Perform the following

steps after each use:

Allow the engine to cool, and secure the

unit before storing or transporting.

Store chain saw and fuel in a well venti-

lated area where fuel vapors cannot reach

sparks or open flames from water heaters,

electric motors or switches, furnaces, etc.

Store chain saw with all guards in place

and position chain saw so that any sharp

object cannot accidentally cause injury.

Store chain saw well out of the reach of

children.

SEASONAL STORAGE

Prepare your unit for storage at the end of the

season or if it will not be used for 30 days or

more.

If your chain saw is to be stored for a period

of time:

Clean saw thoroughly before storage.

Store in a clean dry area.

Lightly oil external metal surfaces and

guide bar.

Oil the chain and wrap it in heavy paper or

cloth.

FUEL SYSTEM

Under FUELING ENGINE in the OPERA-

TION section of this manual, see message

labeled

IMPORTANT

regarding the use of

gasohol in your chain saw.

Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in

minimizing the formation of fuel gum depos-

its during storage. Add stabilizer to the gaso-

line in the fuel tank or fuel storage container.
