N Ensure that the shutter is always 
returned to position s (summer 
operation), otherwise the engine 
may malfunction due to overheating

Under extreme winter conditions 
(temperatures below +14 °F (
-
10 °C), 
powdered or drifting snow), it is 
recommended to use the "cover plate 
mounting kit" (special accessory). The 
mounting kit keeps out powdered or 
drifting snow.
N If the chain saw is extremely cold 
(frost formation) – after starting, 
bring the engine up to operating 
temperature at medium speed 
(disengage chain brake!)
Mounting the cover plate (special 
accessory)
N Insert cover plate (1) with both tabs 
(arrows) and fasten with screws (2)
When the mounting kit is used, the 
shutter must be in the winter position.
If engine trouble occurs, first check 
whether use of the cover plate is 
necessary.
