ADJUSTING PROCEDURE
Idle Speed "T"
Allowengineto idle. Adjustspeed until
enginerunswithout chain movementor
stalling.
• Turnclockwise to increase engine
speed if enginestallsor dies.
• Turn counterclockwise to decrease
speed.
No further adjustments are necessaryif
chaindoesnot moveat idlespeed and
ifperformance issatisfactory.
Low Speed Mixture "U'
Allowengineto idle.Then accelerate
the engineand noteperformance. I f en-
ginehesitates,bogsdown,or smokes
duringacceleration, t urnmixturescrew
clockwise in !/16-turnincrements until
performance is satisfactory. Repeat this
procedure as necessary for properad-
justment. A ftercompleting adjustments,
checkfor acceleration and chainmove-
mentat idle. Resetifnecessary.
High Speed Mixture "H"
DO NOT operateengineat full throttle
for prolonged periodswhilemaking ad-
justments. D amage tothe enginecan
occur.Makea test cut. Basedon per-
formance ofthe saw whilecutting,ad-
justthe highSpeed mixture settingin

* Clockwise untilthesaw hasgood
powerin thecutwithno hesitation.
Do not adjustby soundor speed, but
judgeby howwellthesaw performs in
thecut.
• Countemlockwise i f thesaw has
speed,butdies inthe cut or lacks
powerin the cut.
Aftercompleting adjustments, c heckfor
acceleration and chainmovementat
idle. Resetif necessary.
Acceleration Check
If the enginedies or hesitatesinsteadof
accelerating, t urnthe lowspeed mixture

havesmoothacceleration with no chain
movementat idle.Recheckand adjust
as necessary for acceptableperfor-
mance.
