N Carefully turn both adjusting screws
counterclockwise as far as stop:
– The high speed screw (H) is 3/4 turn
open.
– The low speed screw (L) is 3/4 turn
open.
N Start and warm up the engine.
N Adjust idle speed with the idle speed
screw (LA) so that the chain does
not run.
Fine Tuning
A slight correction of the setting of the
high speed screw (H) may be necessary
if engine power is not satisfactory when
operating at high altitude or at sea level.
Rule of thumb:
Turn the high speed screw (H) about
one quarter of a turn for every 1000 m
(3300 ft) change in altitude.
Conditions for adjustment
N Carry out the standard setting
without disturbing the high speed
screw (H).
N Warm up the engine for about 3
minutes.
N Open the throttle wide.
At high altitude
N Turn the high speed screw (H)
clockwise (leaner), no further than
stop, until there is no noticeable
increase in engine speed.
At sea level
N Turn the high speed screw (H)
counterclockwise (richer), no further
than stop, until there is no
noticeable increase in engine
speed.
It is possible that maximum engine
speed may be reached with the standard
setting.
Adjusting Idle Speed
It is usually necessary to change the
setting of the idle speed screw (LA) after
every correction to the low speed
screw (L).
N Warm up the engine for about 3
minutes.
Engine stops while idling
N Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
slowly clockwise until the engine
runs smoothly – the chain must not
rotate.
Chain rotates when engine is idling
N Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
counterclockwise until the chain
stops rotating and then turn the
screw about another 1/2 to 3/4 turn
in the same direction.
Erratic idling behavior, engine stops
even though setting of LA-screw has
been corrected, poor acceleration
Idle setting is too lean
N Turn the low speed screw (L)
counterclockwise, no further than
stop, until the engine runs and
accelerates smoothly.
Erratic idling behavior
Idle setting is too rich
N Turn the low speed screw (L)
clockwise, no further than stop, until
the engine runs and accelerates
smoothly.

If the chain continues moving
when the engine is idling, have
your saw machine and repaired by
your servicing dealer.
