Adjusting the carburetor
CAUTION: Carburetor adjustment may only be done by
a specialist MAKITA service center!
Only adjusting screw (S) can be manipulated by the user.
If the saw chain moves in idle (i.e. without the throttle being
pressed) , it is imperative to correct the idle speed!
Do not adjust the idle speed until after complete as-­
sembly and testing of the saw!
Idle speed adjustment must only be undertaken when
the engine is warm, with a clean air filter and properly
installed guide bar and chain.
Use a screwdriver (5/32” (4 mm) blade) for idle speed ad-­
justments.
Adjusting the idle speed
Turn adjusting screw
( S ) counter-­clockwise (unscrew):
Idle speed decreases.
Turn adjusting screw ( S ) clockwise (screw in): Idle speed
increases.
Important: If the saw chain still moves during idle even
after you have adjusted the idle speed, do NOT use the
saw. Take it to a MAKITA service center!
