Carburetor malfunctions
Starting problems
Engine power reduction
Unnecessary wear on
the engine parts
CAUTION! The screen must be replaced, if damaged. The saw
will be overheated, if the screen is clogged. This results in
damage on the cylinder and the piston. Never use a saw with a
clogged or defective muffler.

Abnormal fuel consumption
Adjustment of the oil pump
Clean the air filter daily or
more often if the air is
exceptionally dusty in the
working area.
The oil pump is adjustable.
Adjustments are made by
turning the screw using a
screwdriver or combination
spanner. The saw is supplied
from the factory set to 1 turn
open. Turning the screw
clockwise will reduce the oil
flow and turning the screw
anti-clockwise will increase
the oil flow.

Disassemble the air filter by
removing the cylinder cover
and unscrew the filter.
When reassembling, make
sure that the filter is tight

Clean the filter by brushing
or shaking it.
A more thorough cleaning of the filter is obtained by washing
it in water and soap.
