MAINTENANCE
Correctly adjusted carburetor
When the carburetor is correctly adjusted the machine
accelerates without hesitation and the machine 4-cycles a
little at max. speed. It is also important that the chain does not
rotate at idle. If the L-jet is set too lean it may cause starting
difficulties and poor acceleration. If the H-jet is set too lean
the machine will have less power, poor acceleration and could
suffer damage to the engine.
Checking, maintaining and servicing
chain saw safety equipment
Chain brake and front hand guard
Checking brake band wear
Brush off any wood dust, resin and dirt from the chain brake
and clutch drum. Dirt and wear can impair operation of the
brake.
Regularly check that the brake band is at least 0.024 inch (0.6
mm) thick at its thinnest point.
Checking the front hand guard
Make sure the front hand guard is not damaged and that there
are no visible defects such as cracks.
Move the front hand guard forwards and back to make sure it
moves freely and that it is securely anchored to the clutch
cover.
Checking the inertia brake release
With the engine turned off, hold the chain saw over a stump
or other firm object. Let go of the front handle so that the bar
drops towards the stump as the chain saw rotates around the
rear handle.
When the bar hits the stump the brake should be applied.
Checking the brake trigger
Place the chain saw on firm ground and start it. Make sure the
chain does not touch the ground or any other object. See the
instructions under the heading Start and stop.
Grasp the chain saw firmly, wrapping your fingers and thumbs
around the handles.
Apply full throttle and activate the chain brake by tilting your
left wrist forward onto the front hand guard. Do not let go of
the front handle. The chain should stop immediately.
Note! All servicing and repair work on the machine requires
special training. This is especially true of the machines
safety equipment. If your machine fails any of the checks
described below we recommend you to contact our
servicing dealer.
