STOPPING THE ENGINE
See Figures 10 - 11.
Release the throttle trigger and let the engine return
to idle. To stop the engine, fully press the stop
switch. Do not put the chain saw on the ground
when the chain is still moving. For additional safety,
set the chain brake when the saw is not in use.
In the event that the stop switch will not stop the
saw, pull the choke knob out to the fully extended
position (
FULL CHOKE
/
) and engage chain
brake to stop the engine. If the stop switch will
not stop the saw when pressed, have the stop
switch repaired before using the chain saw again
to prevent unsafe conditions or serious injury.
NOTE:
When you are finished using the saw,
always relieve tank pressure by loosening, then
retightening, the chain oil and fuel mix caps. Allow
the engine to cool before storing.
ADJUSTING IDLE SPEED
See Figure 12.
WARNING:
The chain will move around the guide bar when
adjusting the idle speed. Wear all protective
clothing and keep all bystanders, children, and
pets at least 50 ft. away. Make adjustments
with the unit supported on a stable surface so
that the chain/guide bar does not contact the
ground or any object. Keep all parts of your
body away from the chain/guide bar and muf-
fler. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious personal injury.
If the engine starts, runs, and accelerates,
but will not idle, turn the idle speed screw
“T”
clockwise to increase idle speed.
If the chain turns at idle, turn the idle speed
screw
“T”
counterclockwise to reduce the
idle RPM and stop the chain movement. If the
saw chain still moves at idle speed, contact
a qualified service center for adjustment and
discontinue use until the repair is made.
