Sencore S8100, Instruction Manual

Page: 29 / 56

For correct idle position, the motor should run smoothly
in the idling mixture without driving the cut off wheel.
The carburetor is preset perfectly at the factory.
Depending on site of deployment, the idle settings may
have to be adjusted via the idle stop screw “T” (22).
The carburetor adjustment screws “L” (idle mix control)
and “H” (full load mix control) (23) must only be set by
specialist workshops authorized by us.
Idle stop screw “T”
The idle stop screw “T” can be adjusted with the small screwdriver from the delivery.
The air filter must be clean for correct adjustment. Air filter maintenance:

Chap. 8.4, page 29
Let the engine warm up before performing adjustments.
To set the idle speed indicated in the technical data (chap. 4.6, page 15), proceed as follows – preferably using a speed
meter:
• Idle speed too high (in particular if the cut off wheel is already driven without throttle):

Open the idle stop screw “T” counter-clockwise a little.
• Idle speed too low (i.e. the engine goes out with the idling mixture):

Close the idle stop screw “T” clockwise a little until the engine runs smoothly with the idling mixture without going out.
If a perfect carburetor setting cannot be achieved by turning the idle stop screw “T”, have the carburetor set by a
specialist workshop authorized by us.
8.4 Air Filter Maintenance
A contaminated air filter will reduce output. Fuel consumption and hazardous substance quantity in the exhaust increase.
Starting is made more difficult as well.
Turn vibration dial (29) to perform rough interim emptying of the air filter during work. The air filter box and air
filter are shaken so that loose dust falls off. Slightly tilt the power tool back and let dust fall out of the intake
openings. Turn the vibration dial repeatedly if required.
Interim emptying of the air filter
Cleaning the air filter
At weekly intervals or when the engine output is clearly reduced, the air filter must be removed and cleaned thoroughly.
Danger of contamination for the filter inside!
Only open the guard in a clean environment.
• Switch off the engine and turn the stop dial to “0”.
Switching off the engine:

Chap. 6.4, page 23
• Loosen all four attachment screws (a) and (b) of the
guard (5). Remove guard.
