Adjusting The Carburetor - Makita EA5000P Operator's And Safety Manual

Adjusting the carburetor

CAUTION: Carburetor adjustment may only be done by a
specialist MAKITA service center!
SERVICE
Only adjusting screw (S) can be manipulated by the user.
If the saw chain moves in idle (i.e. without the throttle being
pressed), it is imperative to correct the idle speed!
Do not adjust the idle speed until after complete assembly
and testing of the saw!
Idle speed adjustment must only be undertaken when
the engine is warm, with a clean air filter and properly in-
stalled guide bar and chain.
Use a screwdriver (5/32" (4 mm) blade) for idle speed adjust-
ments.
Adjusting the idle speed
Turn adjusting screw (S) counter-clockwise (unscrew): Idle
speed decreases.
Turn adjusting screw (S) clockwise (screw in): Idle speed
increases.
Important: If the saw chain still moves during idle even S
after you have adjusted the idle speed, do NOT use the
saw. Take it to a MAKITA service center!
