Adjusting Idle Speed
Engine stops while idling 
or chain runs while engine is idling 
: Check the standard setting.
: Turn the idle speed screw (LA) 
slowly clockwise – as far as stop or 
until the chain begins to run – then 
turn the screw back 1
1
/
2
 turn.
If the chain continues moving when 
the engine is idling, have your saw 
checked and repaired by your 
servicing dealer.
Erratic idling behavior, poor 
acceleration 
(although L screw is open 
1
/
4
 turn) 
Idle setting is too lean:
: Turn low speed screw (L) 
counterclockwise – no further than 
stop – until the engine runs and 
accelerates smoothly .
It is usually necessary to change the 
setting of the idle speed screw (LA) 
after every correction to the low speed 
screw (L).
Fine Tuning for Operation at High 
Altitude
A slight correction of the setting may be 
necessary if engine power is not 
satisfactory when operating at high 
altitude:
: Check the standard setting. 
: Warm up the engine. 
Turn the high speed screw (H) clockwise 
(leaner) – no further than stop. 
If the setting is too lean there is 
a risk of engine damage due to 
insufficient lubrication and 
overheating.
