8. Operating the Engine

5.  When  engine  has  ignited,  first  push  in  the  choke 

knob to “START” position and then pull the starter 

again to start the engine.

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

pulled slightly.

 

At once pulling throttle lever out, the choke knob is 

automatically returned to the “RUN” position. 

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.

Chain oil

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 THE CARBURETOR

H needle

Idle adjusting screw

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 

provided air/fuel filters are clean and fresh and the fuel 

properly mixed. 

When adjusting, take the following steps: 

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

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.

 STARTING THE ENGINE 

1.  Fill fuel and chain oil tanks respectively, and tighten 

the caps securely.

2.  Set the switch to “I” position.

3.  Pull out the choke knob to “CHOKE” position. The 

choke will close and the throttle lever will then be 

set in the starting position.

RUN

Note: When restarting immediately after stopping the engine, set 

the Choke knob in “START” position (choke open and throttle lever 

in the starting position).

Note: Once the choke knob has been pulled out, it will not return 

to “RUN” position even if you press down on it with your finger. 

When you wish to return the choke knob to “RUN” 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 in very dangerous.
