The carburetor has been set at the 
factory to provide an optimum fuel-air 
mixture under most operating 
conditions.
Adjusting Idle Speed
Engine stops while idling
N Warm up the engine for about 
3 minutes.
N Turn the idle speed screw (LA) 
slowly clockwise until the engine 
runs smoothly – the MultiTool must 
not run.
MultiTool runs when the engine is idling
N Turn the idle speed screw (LA) 
counterclockwise until the MultiTool 
stops moving and then turn the 
screw about another 1/2 to 3/4 turn 
in the same direction.
WARNING
If the MultiTool continues to run when 
the engine is idling, have your machine 
checked and repaired by your servicing 
dealer.
N If the engine is down on power, 
check the spark arresting screen in 
the muffler.
N Wait for the muffler to cool down.
N Use the combination wrench to 
unscrew the spark arrestor.
N Clean the spark arrestor screen. If 
the screen is damaged or heavily 
carbonized, fit a new one.
N Insert the spark arrestor and tighten 
it down firmly with the combination 
wrench. 
If there is a loss of engine power, the 
machine is difficult to start or runs poorly 
at idle, first check the spark plug.
Install a new spark plug after 
approximately 100 operating hours or 
earlier if the electrodes are 
eroded/corroded.
The wrong fuel mix (too much engine oil 
in the gasoline), a dirty air filter and 
unfavorable running conditions (mostly 
at part throttle etc.) affect the condition 
of the spark plug. These factors cause 
deposits to form on the insulator nose, 
which may degrade performance.
Removing the Spark Plug
N Shut off the engine.
N Remove the spark plug boot (1).
N Unscrew the spark plug (2).
