Basic information
The carburetor comes from the factory
with a standard setting.
The carburetor has been adjusted for
optimum performance and fuel
efficiency in all operating states.
The high speed screw alters the
engine’s power output and the maximum
off-load engine speed.
Chain saws in these series are equipped
with varying carburetors:
Intelligent engine management –
carburetor without high speed
screw (H)
Full-throttle range and maximum speed
are controlled electronically.
Cleaning the Air Filter
Do not use tools to remove and
install the air filter – the air filter
could be damaged in the process.
