8.2 Troubleshooting methods
In addition to the faults described in the above
table, trouble shooting can be carried out on
specic components or sub-systems of the
chainsaw. The various procedures are described
in the relevant chapters, see the contents page, as
follows:
• Checking the operation of the chain brake
• Measuring the resistance of the stop plate
• Pressure testing the carburettor
• Pressure testing the decompression valve
• Pressure testing the cylinder
