To adjust the idle speed
1. Make sure that the air filter is clean and the air filter
cover is attached before you adjust the idle speed.
2. Start the product. Refer to
To start the product on
page 14
3. Adjust the idle speed with the idle adjustment screw
T which is identified with "T" mark. Turn the idle
adjustment screw clockwise until the saw chain
starts to turn.
4. Turn the idle adjustment screw counterclockwise
until the saw chain stops.
The idle speed is correct when the engine operates
smoothly in all positions. The idle speed must be below
the speed when the saw chain starts to turn.
WARNING: If the saw chain does not stop
when you adjust the idle speed, turn to your
nearest servicing dealer. Do not use the
product until it is correctly adjusted or
repaired.
Note: Refer to
Technical data on page 24
for the
recommended idle speed.
To do maintenance on the muffler
The muffler decreases the noise level and directs the
exhaust gases away from the operator.
WARNING: Mufflers that have catalytic
converters get very hot during operation and
will stay hot for some time after you stop the
product. This also applies at idle speed. If
you touch the product it can result in burns
to the skin. Think about of the risk of fire.
1. Stop the product and let it cool down.
