4. While holding the saw unit securely on the ground, pull the starter rope vigorously.
DO NOT start the engine while holding the chainsaw in the air by hand. The saw chain
may touch your body.
5. When engine has ignited first, push in the choke knob to the first-stage position, then pull
the starter again to start the engine.
6. Allow the engine to warm up with the throttle lever pulled slightly.
Keep clear of the saw chain as it will start rotating upon starting the engine.
Checking Oil Supply
Make sure to set up the bar and chain when checking the oil
supply. If you don't rotating parts may be exposed and is extremely
dangerous. After starting the engine, run the chain at medium speed
so you can check to see if chain oil splashes off as shown to right.
Chain oil flow can be changed by inserting a screwdriver into the hole on
the bottom of the clutch side. Adjust it according to your work conditions.
The oil tank should become nearly empty by the time fuel is used up. Be sure to refill the oil tank every time
when refuelling the unit.
Adjusting the Carburettor
The carburettor on your unit has been factory adjusted, but may require fine tuning due to change in
operating conditions. Before adjusting the carburettor, make sure that provided are clean air/fuel filters and
fresh, properly mixed fuel. We recommend if possible, getting your carburettor tuned by a specialist, as an
incorrect adjustment may result in damage to the unit.
When adjusting, take the following steps:
Be sure to adjust the carburettor with the bar chain attached.
1.
Stop engine and screw in both H and L needles until they stop. Never force them. Then set them
back the initial number of turns as shown below.
H needle: 1/4 | L needle: 1/4
2. Start engine and allow it to warm up at half-throttle for a few
minutes.
3. Turn idle adjusting screw (T) counter-clockwise to that saw chain
does not turn. If idling speed is too slow, turn the screw clockwise.
4. Make a test cut and adjust the H needle for best cutting power,
not for maximum speed.
Over revolution of the H needle will cause a lack of power or poor
acceleration. In such a case, please turn the H needle counter-clockwise.
