Instruction manual

Checking and adjusting the idle speed

The carburetor of the brushcutter is equipped with a xed jet.

This means that you will only need to adjust the idle speed, e.g.

if your machine is a new machine or the cutting tool is rotating

at idle. Make sure that the air lter is always clean!

Never run the brushcutter under full load immedi-

ately; instead, let the engine warm up for approx.

three to ve minutes at medium speed.

At idle, the cutting tool must no longer rotate.

If the cutting tool is rotating, the idle speed must

be readjusted.

The tool you will require is the Phillips screwdriver.

To adjust the idle speed:

1 Proper cutting tool must be installed.

2 Let the engine warm up.

3 Release the throttle lever (

1).

4 If necessary, readjust the idle speed by regulating the idle

screw (2):

• Turn the screw inward for faster engine run.

• Turn the screw outward for slower engine run.

If the cutting tool does not stop rotating, you

must not work with the machine under no circum-

stances whatsoever! Contact a MAKITA service
