moving and then rotate the screw
another 1/2 to 1 turn in the same
direction.
Erratic idling behavior, engine stops
even though setting of LA-screw has
been corrected, poor acceleration
Idle setting is too lean:
N
Idle setting is too lean: Rotate the
low speed screw (L) about 1/4 turn
counterclockwise until the engine
runs and accelerates smoothly.
Erratic idling behavior
Idle setting is too rich
N
Rotate the low speed screw (L)
about 1/4 turn clockwise until the
engine runs and accelerates
smoothly.
If engine is down on power, difficult to
start or runs poorly at idling speed, first
check the spark plug.
Fit a new spark plug after approx. 100
operating hours
or earlier if the
electrodes are badly eroded.
Wrong fuel mix (too much engine oil in
the gasoline), a dirty air filter and
unfavorable running conditions (mostly
at part throttle etc.) affect the condition
of the spark plug. These factors cause
deposits to form on the insulator nose
which may result in trouble in operation.
Removing the Spark Plug
N
Move the stop switch to
0
.
N
Pull off the spark plug boot (1).
N
Unscrew the spark plug.

Remove spark plug – see "Starting /
Stopping the Engine".
N
Clean dirty spark plug.
N
Check electrode gap (A) and
readjust if necessary – see
"Specifications".
N
Use only resistor type spark plugs of
the approved range.
Rectify problems which have caused
fouling of spark plug:
If the working tool or cutting
attachment continues to run when
the engine is idling, have your
machine checked and repaired by
your servicing dealer.
