dealer, if the idle speed setting cannot be
adjusted so that the chain stops at idle.
Do not use the chainsaw until it has been
properly adjusted or repaired.
High speed jet H
At the factory the engine is adjusted at sea level.
When working at a high altitude or in different
weather conditions, temperatures and atmospheric
humidity, it may be necessary to make minor
adjustments to the high speed jet.
CAUTION! If the high speed jet is screwed in too far,
it may damage the piston/cylinder.
When test run at the factory, the high speed jet is set so
that the engine satises the applicable legal requirements
at the same time as achieving maximum performance.
The carburetor's high speed jet is then locked using a
limiter cap in the fully screwed out position. The limiter cap
limits the potential to adjust the high speed jet to at most
half a turn.
Correctly adjusted carburetor
When the carburetor is correctly adjusted the machine
accelerates without hesitation and the machine 4-cycles
a little at max. speed. It is also important that the chain
does not rotate at idle. If the L-jet is set too lean it may
cause starting difculties and poor acceleration. If the H-
jet is set too lean the machine will have less power, poor
acceleration and could suffer damage to the engine.

Chain brake and front hand guard
Checking brake band wear
MAINTENANCE
• Brush off any wood dust, resin and dirt from the chain
brake and clutch drum. Dirt and wear can impair
operation of the brake.
• Regularly check that the brake band is at least 0.024
inch (0,6 mm) thick at its thinnest point.
Checking the front hand guard
• Make sure the front hand guard is not damaged and
that there are no visible defects such as cracks.
• Move the front hand guard forwards and back to make
sure it moves freely and that it is securely anchored to
the clutch cover.
Checking the inertia brake release
• With the engine turned off, hold the chain saw over a
stump or other rm object. Let go of the front handle
so that the bar drops towards the stump as the chain
saw rotates around the rear handle.
When the bar hits the stump the brake should be
activated.
