ADJUSTING IDLE SPEED
■ If the engine starts, runs, and accelerates but will not
idle, turn the idle speed screw " T " clockwise to
increase idle speed.
■ If the chain turns at idle, turn the idle speed screw " T "
counterclockwise to reduce the idle RPM and stop the
chain movement. If the saw chain still moves at idle
speed, contact a Homelite Service Center for adjust-
ment and discontinue use until the repair is made.
WARNING:
THE SAW CHAIN SHOULD NEVER TURN AT IDLE.
Turn the idle speed screw "T" counterclockwise to
reduce the idle RPM and stop the chain, or contact a
Homelite Service Center for adjustment and
discontinue use until the repair is made.
Serious personal injury may result from the saw
chain turning at idle.
WARNING:
Weather conditions and altitude may affect carbure-
tion.
Do not allow bystanders close to the chain saw while
adjusting the carburetor.
