WARNING
A
majority
of
kickback
accidents
occur
during
Iimbing.
Do
not
use
the
nose
of
the
guide
bar.
Be
extremely
cautious
and
avoid
contacting
the
log,
other
limbs
or
objects
with
the
nose
of
the
guide
bar.
Be
extremely
cautious
of
limbs
under
tension.
They
can
spring
back
towards
you
and
cause
loss
of
control
resulting
in
injury.
(
Fig. 24
)
Stand
on
the
left
side
of
the
trunk.
Maintain
a
secure
footing
and
rest
the
saw
on
the
trunk.
Hold
the
saw
close
to
you
so
that
you
are
in
full
control
of
it.
Keep
well
away
from
the
chain.
Move
only
when
the
trunk
is
between
you
and
the
chain.
Watch
out
for
spring
back
of
limbs
under
tension.
LIMBING THICK BRANCHES
When
limbing
thick
branches,
the
guide
bar
may
get
pinched
easily.
Branches
under
tension
often
snap
up,
so
cut
troublesome
branches
in
small
steps.
Apply
the
same
principles
as
for
cross
cutting.
Think
ahead
and
be
aware
of
the
possible
consequences
of
all
your
actions.
CROSS CUTTING
/
BUCKING
Before
starting
to
cut
through
the
log,
try
to
imagine
what
is
going
to
happen.
Look
out
for
stresses
in
the
log
and
cut
through
it
in
such
a
manner
that
the
guide
bar
will
not
get
pinched.
CROSS CUTTING LOGS, PRESSURE ON TOP
Take
a
fi
rm
stance.
Begin
with
an
upper
cut.
Do
not
cut
too
deeply,
about
1/3
of
the
log
diameter
is
enough.
Finish
with
a
bottom
cut.
The
saw
cuts
should
meet.

Carburetor adjustment (Fig. 31)
WARNING
Never
start
the
engine
without
the
complete
side
case.
Otherwise
the
clutch
can
come
loose
and
cause
personal
injuries.
In
the
carburetor,
fuel
is
mixed
with
air.
When
the
engine
is
test
run
at
the
factory,
the
carburetor
is
adjusted.
A
further
adjustment
may
be
required,
according
to
climate
and
altitude.
The
carburetor
has
one
adjustment
possibility:
T
=
Idle
speed
adjustment
screw.
Idle speed adjustment (T)
Check
that
the
air
fi
lter
is
clean.
When
the
idle
speed
is
correct,
the
cutting
attachment
will
not
rotate.
If
adjustment
is
required,
close
(clockwise)
the
T-screw,
with
the
engine
running,
until
the
cutting
attachment
starts
to
rotate.
Open
(counter-clockwise)
the
screw
until
the
cutting
attachment
stops.
You
have
reached
the
correct
idle
speed
when
the
engine
runs
smoothly
in
all
positions
well
below
the
rpm
when
the
cutting
attachment
starts
to
rotate.
If
the
cutting
attachment
still
rotates
after
idle
speed
adjustment,
contact
Tanaka
dealer.
NOTE
The
H
and
L
screws
should
only
be
adjusted
by

WARNING
When
the
engine
is
idling
the
cutting
attachment
must
under

rotate.
NOTE
Some
models
sold
in
areas
with
strict
exhaust
emission
regulation
do
not
have
high
and
low
speed
carburetor
adjustments.
Such
adjustments
may
allow
the
engine
to
be
operated
outside
of
their
emission
compliance
limits.
For
these
models,
the
only
carburetor
adjustment
is
idle
speed.
For
models
that
are
equipped
with
low
and
high
speed
adjustments;
carburetors
are
preset
at
the
factory
Minor
adjustments
may
optimize
performance
based
on
climate,
altitude,
etc.
Never
turn
the
adjustment
screws
in
increments
greater
than
90
degrees,
as
engine
damage
can
result
from
incorrect
adjustment
if
you
are
not
familiar
with
this
type
of
adjustment,
seek
assistance
from
your
Tanaka
