•a winter plug (B) for the air nozzle that is ﬁtted as shown.

These reduce the ﬂow of cooling air and prevent large amounts of snow from being sucked into the carburetor space.

CAUTION! When the winter plug is ﬁtted the winter ﬂap must be open!

IMPORTANT! If the temperature rises above -5°C

(23°F) or 0°C (32°F) respectively the machine MUST be restored to its normal set-up. Otherwise there is a risk of overheating, which can cause severe engine damage.

Heated handles

(346XPG, 353G)

On models with the designation XPG/G, the front as well as the rear handle are equipped with electric heating coils. These are fed with electrical current from an integrated generator in the chain saw.

When the switch is pushed downwards, the heat is switched on. When the switch is pushed upwards, the heat is switched off.

Electrical carburetor heating

(346XPG, 353G)

On models with the designation CARBURETOR HEATING there is an electrically heated carburetor. Electrically powered heating prevents ice formation in the carburetor. A thermostat regulates the heating so that the carburetor always has the right working temperature.
