6. Allow the engine to warm up with the throttle lever
pulled slightly.
Keep clear of the saw chain as it will start
rotatIng upon starting of engine.
■
CHECKING THE OIL SUPPLY
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.
■
ADJUSTING THE CARBURETOR
The carburetor on your unit has been factory adjusted,
but may require fine tuning due to a change in operat-
ing conditions.
Before adjusting the carburetor, make sure that the pro-
vided air/fuel filters are clean and fresh and the fuel prop-
erly mixed.
When adjusting, take the following steps:
Note: Be sure to adjust the carburetor with the bar chain attached.
1. H and L needles are restricted within the number of
turn as shown below.
H needle : -1/4
L needle : -1/4
2. Start the engine and allow it to warm up in low speed
for a few minutes.
3. Turn the idle adjusting screw (T) counterclockwise
so that the saw chain does not turn. If the idling
speed is too slow, turn the screw clockwise.
4. Make a test cut and adjust the H needle for best
cutting power, not for maximum speed.
Note: When restarting immediately after stopping the engine, set
the Choke knob in the first-stage position (choke open and throttle
lever in the starting position).
Note: Once the choke knob has been pulled out, it will not 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 lever instead.
4. While holding the saw unit securely on the ground,
pull the starter rope vigorously.
Do not start the engine while the chain saw
hangs in one hand. The saw chain may touch
your body. This is very dangerous.
5. When engine has ignited, first push in the choke knob
to the first-stage position and then pull the starter
again to start the engine.
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.
