8.2 Carburettor settings
The carburettor is preset to the optimum settings for the device at the factory. Depending on the
particular location where the chainsaw is used (mountains, flat country) it may be necessary to adjust
the idling settings via the idle stop screw "T".
! The adjusting screws for the idling mixture "L" and the full-load mixture "H" (25) must only be
adjusted by an authorised workshop.
When the idling settings are correct the engine
should run smoothly at idle without the saw
chain being driven. Corrective adjustments to
the average idle speed indicated in the
technical data can be made as follows via the
idle stop screw "T" – ideally with the aid of a
tachometer:
The idle end stop screw can be reached and
adjusted easily with a small screwdriver via the
access hole (plugged).
• If the idle speed is too high (particularly if the saw chain is already driven without the throttle being
operated), slightly open up the idle stop screw "T" by turning it anti-clockwise.
• If the idle speed is too low (i.e. the engine keeps stopping at idle), slightly close the idle stop
screw "T" by turning it clockwise until the engine runs evenly.
The saw chain must never be driven while the engine is idling.
If the idling speed cannot be set correctly with the idling end-stop screw "T", request an authorised
service centre to tune the carburettor.
The following instructions are for authorised service shops
Carburettors with limiter caps:
• The regulating screws for idle mixture and full load mixture can only be adjusted in a limited
range.
• Information about the standard settings can be requested from the specialist workshop of our
customer service department or downloaded from our Internet portal for specialist dealers at
www.part-and-more.org.
Clean the air filter before adjusting the low speed screw!
Let the engine run warm before adjusting the engine speed.
The carburettor is tuned for optimum engine performance. Use a rev counter to tune the carburettor
correctly!
Do not adjust the engine to a higher speed. Excessive engine speed can lead to major engine
damage!
