WARNING!
The guide bar, chain and clutch cover
must be fitted before the saw is started,
otherwise the clutch may come loose
causing personal injury.

Conditions
During all adjustment, the air filter should be clean and the
cylinder cover should be in place. If the carburettor is
adjusted with a dirty air filter, the fuel mixture will be too weak
next time the air filter is cleaned. This can cause serious
engine damage.
Carefully screw in (clockwise) the L- and H-jets fully. Back
them off (anti-clockwise) 1 turn. The carburettor now has the
settings H = 1 and L = 1.
Start the chainsaw according to the starting instructions and
warm up the saw for 10 min.
NOTE! If the chain turns when idling, the T-
screw should be turned anti-clockwise until
the chain stops.
Place the saw on a flat surface so that the guide bar points
away from you and the guide bar is not in contact with the
surface or any other object.

WARNING!
Wear ear defenders when making
adjustments with the motor running.
Adjusting the carburettor involves adjusting the motor to the
local conditions e.g. climate, altitude, fuel and type of 2-
stroke oil.
The carburettor is equipped with three adjustment options:
L = Low speed jet
H = High speed jet
T = Idling adjustment
The L- and H-jets adjust the fuel flow to match the airflow that
the throttle valve opening allows. Turning them clock-wise
makes the fuel/air mixture weaker (less fuel) and turning
them anti-clockwise makes the fuel/air mixture richer (more
fuel). A weaker mixture increases the engine speed and a
rich mixture decreases the engine speed.
The T- screw controls the throttle position when idling.
Turning the T-screw clockwise gives faster idling, turning it
anti-clockwise lower idling speed.
Basic settings and running in
For test running at the factory the basic carburettor settings
are used.
The basic settings are H = 11/4 and L = 11/4 turns
respectively.
In order that motor components receive adequate
lubrication (running in) the carburettor should be set to
a somewhat richer fuel mixture for the chainsaw’s first
3-4 running hours. To achieve this, the max. overspeed
is adjusted to 6-700 rpm less than the recommended
max. overspeed.
If it is not possible to check the max. overspeed with a
tachometer then the H-jet should not be set to a weaker
mixture than the basic settings state.
The recommended max. overspeed must not be exceeded.
Note! If the chain turns at idling speed, the T-screw should
be turned anti-clockwise until the chain stops.
Fine adjustment
When the chainsaw is “run in“ fine adjustment of the
carburettor should be carried out. Firstly adjust the L-jet
screw, then the idling screw T and finally the H-jet screw.
The following are the recommended engine speeds:
Max. overspeed Idling speed
13,500 rpm 2700 rpm
