a.
Adjusting the carburetor
The carburetor is preset at the factory. To avoid malfunction, it is recommended not
to adjust the adjustment screws. If these screws require readjustment, have the
machine serviced by your service center.
Stop the tool and tighten the needle L until it stops. Do not force it. Then set it to its
initial number of turns as shown below. The number of turns for the needle is also
shown below:
b.
Chain brake
The chain brake is a device that automatically stops the chain in case a backward
movement occurs, causing the saw to jump. Normally, the brake is automatically
activated by the inertia force.
It is also manually tightened by pushing the brake lever down and forward.
When the brake is running, a yellow sign comes out from the base of the brake lever.
To release the brake, pull the brake lever up until it clicks into place.
When the brake is working, release the throttle lever to slow down the engine speed.
Continuous use when the brake is running causes the clutch to heat up and can
cause problems.
When checking the machine before using it, check the operating condition of the
brake by performing the following operations:
▪
Start the engine and grasp the handle firmly with both hands.
▪
While pulling the throttle control lever to keep the chain in operation, push
the brake lever down with the back of the left hand.
▪
When the brake is running and the chain is stopped, remove the hand from
the throttle.
▪
Loosen the brake.
