CHAIN SHARPENING
Chain sharpening is a complicated task that
requires special tools. We recommended
you refer chain sharpening to a professional
chain sharpener.

IGNITION TIMING
Ignition timing is fixed and nonadjustable.
S Store in a dry area out of the reach of chil-
dren.
CAUTION: It is important to prevent gum
deposits from forming in essential fuel sys-
tem parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter,
fuel hose, or fuel tank during storage. Alco-
hol blended fuels (called gasohol or using
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to fuel mixture separation and
formationofacids duringstorage. Acidic gas
can damage the engine.
