Functioning, Basic setting, Final setting
• Now start the saw according to the starting instructions and run
it warm for 10 minutes.
NOTE! If the chain rotates the T screw should be turnedanti-
clockwise until the chain stops.
• Place the saw on a flat surface so that the bar points away
from you and so that the bar and chain do not come into
contact with the surface or other objects.
!
WARNING! Do not start the saw without the
bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake)
assembled. If you do, the clutch might come
loose and cause severe injuries.

Operation
•
•
•
The carburettor governs the engine speed via the throttle. Air/
fuel are mixed in the carburettor. The air/fuel mixture is
adjustable. To take advantage of the saw’s maximum output
the setting must be correct.
Adjusting the carburettor means the engine is adapted to
local operating conditions, e.g. climate, altitude, petrol and
the type of 2-stroke oil used.
respectively counter-clockwise.
When the highest speed has
been found, turn the low speed
needle L 1/4 turn counter-
clockwise. NOTE! If the chain
rotates in the idling position,
turn the idling speed screw
counter-clockwise until the
chain stops.
L
The carburettor has three
adjustment possibilities:
L = Low speed jet.
H = High speed jet.
T = Adjustment screw for
idling.
Final setting of the idling speed T
Adjust the idling speed with the screw T. If it is necessary to re-
adjust, first turn the idle speed adjusting screw T clockwise, until
the chain starts to rotate. Then turn, counter-clockwise until the
chain stops. A correctly adjusted idle speed setting occurs when
the engine runs smoothly in every position. It should also be
good margin to the rpm when the chain starts to rotate.
•
•
The fuel quantity required in relation to the air flow, provided
by opening the throttle, is adjusted by the L and H-jets. If they
are screwed clockwise the air/fuel ratio becomes leaner (less
fuel) and if they are turned anti-clockwise the ratio becomes
richer (more fuel). A leaner mixture gives a higher engine
speed and a richer mixture give a lower engine speed.
The T screw regulates the idling speed. If the screw T is
turned clockwise this gives a higher idling speed; anti-
clockwise a lower idling speed.
!
Contact your servicing dealer, if the idle speed
setting cannot be adjusted so that the chain
stops. Do not use the saw until it has been
properly adjusted or repaired.
High speed needle H
The high speed needle H
influences the power of the
saw. A too lean adjusted high
speed needle H (high speed
needle H closed too much)
gives overrevs and damages
the engine. Let the saw run at
full speed for about 10
seconds. Thereafter, turn the
high speed needle H 1/4 turn
counter-clockwise.
Let the saw run again at full
Basic setting and running in
The carburettor is adjusted to a basic setting when the saw is
tested at the factory. The basic setting is: H = 1 /4 turns
1
respective L = 1-1 /4 turns.
1
To provide the engine’s components with a good level of
lubrication (running in) the carburettor should be set for a
richer fuel mixture for the first 3-4 hours of operating. To
obtain this adjust the overspeed 6-700 rpm under the
recommended max. overspeed.
H
If you do not have the possibility to check the overspeed using a
tachometer the H-jet should not be set for a leaner mixture than
that stated for the basic setting.
The recommended overspeed should not be exceeded.
NOTE! If the chain rotates while idling the T screw should be
adjusted anti-clockwise until it stops.
speed for about 10 seconds and note the difference of the
enginesound. Repeat this procedure with the high speed needle
H turned 1/4 turn more counter-clockwise. The saw has now
been tested with the following settings: H=±0, H=+1/4, H=+1/2
from basic adjustment. At full speed the engine has produced a
different sound for each setting. The high speed needle H is
correctly set when the saw ”4-cycles” a little. If the saw ”whistles”
the setting is too lean. If there is too much exhaust gas at the
same time as the saw ”4-cycles” much, the setting is too rich.
Turn the high speed needle H until the setting sounds correct.
NOTE! For optimum setting of the carburettor, contact a qualified
servicing dealer who has a revolution counter at his disposal.
The maximum speed recommended must not be exceeded.
Fine adjustment
•
When the saw has been ”run-in” the carburettor should be
finely adjusted. The fine adjustment should be carried out
by qualified person. First adjust the L-jet, then the idling
screw T and then the H-jet.
The following engine speed applies:
Max. overspeed
Idling speed
12.500
rpm
2.500 rpm
Correctly adjusted carburettor
Conditions
A correctly adjusted carburettor means that the saw accelerates
without hesitation and the saw 4-cycles a little at max speed.
Furthermore, the chain must not rotate at idling. A too lean
adjusted low speed needle L may cause starting difficulties and
bad acceleration.
A too lean adjusted high speed needle H gives lower power=less
capacity, bad acceleration and/or damage to the engine.
A too rich adjustment of the two speed needles L and H gives
acceleration problems or too low working speed.
•
Before any adjustments are made the air filter should be
clean and the cylinder cowling fitted. Adjusting the carburettor
while a dirty air filter is in use will result in a leaner mixture
when the filter is finally cleaned. This can give rise to serious
engine damage.
Carefully turn the L and H-jets clockwise to the bottom. Now
turn the jets one turn anti-clockwise. The carburettor is now
set to H = 1 and L = 1.
