8.2 Troubleshooting methods
In addition to faults given in the above schematic, troubleshooting can be carried out on a specific component or specific chain saw system. The different procedures are described in respective sections and are as follows:
•Function check of chain brake
•Resistance testing the stop plate
•Pressure testing the carburettor
•Pressure testing the decompression valve
•Pressure testing the cylinder
