to the first-stage position and pull the starter again
to start the engine.

6. Allow the engine to warm up with the throttle lever

pulled slightly.

 WARNING

Keep clear of the saw chain as it will start rotating

CHECKING OIL SUPPLY

 WARNING

Make sure to set up the bar and the chain when
checking the oil supply.
If not, the rotating parts may be exposed. It is very
dangerous.

After starting the engine, run the chain at medium speed
and see if chain oil is scattered off as shown in the figure.

The chain oil flow can be changed by inserting a screw-
driver in the hole on bottom of the clutch side. Adjust
according to your work conditions.

 NOTE

The oil tank should become nearly empty by the time
fuel is used up. Be sure to refill the oil tank every time
when refueling the saw.

■ 

ADJUSTING CARBURETOR

The carburetor on your unit has been factory adjusted,
but may require fine tuning due to change in operating
conditions.
Before adjusting the carburetor, make sure that provided
are clean air/fuel filters and fresh, properly mixed fuel.

When adjusting, take the following steps:

 NOTE

Be sure to adjust the carburetor with the bar chain attached.

 WARNING

It is very dangerous to run a chainsaw that mounts
broken parts or lacks any parts.
Before starting engine, make sure that all the parts
including bar and chain are installed properly.

■

return to the operating position even if you press down
on it with your finger. When you wish to return the choke
knob to the operating position, pull out the throttle le-
ver instead.
