4. IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT--II
a. Allow engine to idle.
b. Adjust if the chain is turning by turning the
Idle Speed Screw countemlockwise AP,,_ .
c. Squeeze the throttle trigger; The saw
should accelerate without hesitating.
NOTE: It may be necessary to recheck the
low speed mixture setting after the idle
speed has been reduced by repeating "Low
Speed Mixture Adjustment" as in step 3
above.
5. HIGH SPEED MIXTURE ADJUSTMENT
a. Make a test cut.
b. Adjust if the saw smokes or seems to have
low power in the test cut by turning the
High Speed Mixture Screw 1/16th of a turn
clockwise
c. Repeat test cut.
d, Repeat adjustment until the saw runs
smoothly.
F. AIR FILTER
• A dirty air filter:.
--reduces cutting power
ECAUTION:].Never set the High Speed Mixture
Screw less than 718 tum Open. This is too lean
a setting and will ruin your engine.
6. IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT--Ill
Recheck for proper idle mixture setting.
NOTE: It may be necessary to repeat Idle
Speed Adjustment-I and Low Speed Mixture
Adjustment.
7. CHECK ACCELERATION
Adjust if there is a slight hesitation, by turn-
ing the Low Speed Mixture Screw 1/16 of a
turn at a time counterclockwise _ un-
til you have smooth acceleration.
NOTE: Check to be sure the chain is not turn-
ing when engine is idling. If chain moves at
idle speed, repeat Idle Speed Adjustment-II.
_CAUT_ Never operate the unit without the air
filter in place to avoid engine damage.
--increases fuel consumption
• Clean the Air Filter:.
--frequently, especially under very dusty
conditions.
--always after 10 tanks of fuel mixture or 5
hours of operation whichever is less.
Items Required: soft bristled brush, such as a
paint brush.
1. Clean off the carburetor cover and the area

8. Brush away all debris from surfaces which
were covered by the carburetor cover.
Figure52 9. Replace filter and carburetor cover.
COUNTER.VIBE ® ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM
This saw is equipped with a counter vibration
system consisting of 5 isolator mounts. Figure
53. The Isolator Mounts protect the user from
engine, bar, and chain vibration similar to the
way shock absorbers on a car protect from jolts
and bumps in the road.
1. Check isolators each time the saw is used.
2. Replace isolators when:
--vibration increases
--mounts develop an out of round or
swollen shape usually caused from
exposure to gasoline and oil for long
,periods of time,
3. Replace all five isolators when a failure to one "
occurs.
