Emission Control Warranty
Statement
Your warranty rights and obligations ................................. 35
Before using a new saw
• Read the instructions carefully.
• Check cutting equipment is correctly fitted and adjusted.
See page 25.
• Refuel and start the saw. Check the carburetor settings.
See pages 26-29.
• Do not use the saw until sufficient chain oil has reached the
chain, see page 14.
IMPORTANT! If the carburetor mixture is too lean it greatly
increases the risk of engine failure.
Poor maintenance of the air filter will cause carbon build-up on
the spark plug and lead to difficult starting.
If the chain is badly adjusted it will cause increased wear or
damage to the bar, drive sprocket and chain.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission
control devices and systems may be performed by any
nonroad engine repair establishment or individual.
You will find the following labels
on your chain saw:
