at the factory. Adjustments may be
necessary if you notice any of the fol-
lowing conditions:
• Engine will not idle when the throttle is
released.

Keep all parts of your body away from
the cutting attachment and muffler.
Idle Speed Adjustment
Allow engine to idle. Adjust speed until
engine runs without stalling (idle
