CHAIN SAW USER’S MANUAL
15 Operating the saw
Switch the ignition switch to the upper position.
Pull out the choke lever. (X)
Rest the saw on a fi rm base and make sure that the chain and bar do not touch anything. Hold the
handle with your foot, hold the top handle with your left hand and pull the starting pull cord vigorously
with your right hand. (XI)
Attention! It is not permitted to start the saw while holding it. The chain could touch a part of the body and
cause serious injury.
This achieves fuel distribution to the saw fuel system. Then close the choke lever and pull the starting pull cord
vigorously once more. When the engine starts, the starting pull cord must be released. The engine must be
allowed to warm up with the choke lever slightly pulled.
If any suspicious noises or vibrations are heard, the saw should be switched off immediately.
Switching off the saw after work is fi nished is done by releasing the pressure on the throttle lever and letting the
engine idle for a certain period of time. Then switch the ignition switch to the down position and wait for the chain
to stop. After the chain has stopped, the saw must be serviced.
Before starting work, it is still necessary to check how well the chain is oiled. To do this, check that the chain is
spraying oil lightly at medium speed. Tilt the running saw slightly downwards with the bar. If after 1 minute an oil
spot is visible under the bar, it means that the chain is lubricated correctly. If it is necessary to adjust the amount
of oil to be dosed, it must be adjusted by means of the wheel located on the bottom of the saw.
Chain oil and fuel should be used relatively evenly. Chain oil should also be refi lled every time you refuel.
Setting the carburettor (XII)
The carburettor was adjusted in the factory to achieve the best performance of the saw. However, if operating
conditions change, the carburettor may need to be adjusted. Before adjustment, the air and fuel fi lters must be
cleaned and the fuel tank fi lled with fresh fuel mixture.
Attention! Only adjust the carburettor with the chain on.
Follow the procedure below.
With the engine switched off, screw in the H and L nozzle screws as far as they will go. Then turn them in the
opposite direction by the following number of turns: H – 1 3/8, L – 1 1/4.
Start the engine and warm it up to half throttle.
Turn the L nozzle screw clockwise until the engine reaches maximum idling speed. Then turn the L nozzle screw
1/4 turn in the opposite direction.
Turn the idle screw T anticlockwise until the chain stops. If the idle speed is too low, the screw should be turned
clockwise.
A test cut should be made and the H nozzle adjusted to obtain the best cutting force, but not the maximum speed.
Working with the saw
After all the above steps have been carried out, the saw can be used.
The chain brake must be checked for correct operation before starting the saw. To perform the test, hold the saw
horizontally and then release the front handle so that the bar hits the log or piece of wood with the tip.
