IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 21.

If the chain turns at idle, the idle speed screw needs ad-
justing on your trimmer engine. Turn the idle speed screw 
counterclockwise to reduce the idle RPM and stop the chain 
movement.  If the saw chain still moves at idle speed, contact 
a service dealer for adjustment and discontinue use until the 
repair is made.

WARNING: 

The  saw  chain  should  never  turn  at  idle.  Turn  the  idle 
speed screw counterclockwise to reduce the idle RPM 
and stop the chain, or contact a service dealer for ad-
justment and discontinue use until the repair is made. 
Serious personal injury  may result from the saw chain 
turning at idle.
