CHAIN SHARPENING

Chain sharpening is a complicated task and requires special tools. We recommend that you refer chain sharpening to a professional chain sharpener.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: The chain will be moving during most of this procedure. Wear your pro- tective equipment and observe all safety pre- cautions. The chain must not move at idle speed.

The carburetor has been carefully set at the factory. Adjustments may be necessary if you notice any of the following conditions:

SChain moves at idle. See IDLE SPEED--T

adjusting procedure.

SSaw will not idle. See IDLE SPEED--T ad- justing procedure.

Idle Speed-T

Allow engine to idle. If the chain moves, idle is too fast. If the engine stalls, idle is too slow. Ad- just speed until engine runs without chain movement (idle too fast) or stalling (idle too slow). The idle speed screw is located in the area above the primer bulb and is labeled T.

STurn idle screw (T) clockwise to increase engine speed.

S Turn idle screw (T) counterclockwise to decrease engine speed.

S Oil the chain and wrap it in heavy paper or cloth.

FUEL SYSTEM

Under FUELING ENGINE in the OPERA- TION section of this manual, see message

labeled IMPORTANT regarding the use of gasohol in your chain saw.

Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum depos- its during storage. Add stabilizer to the gaso- line in the fuel tank or fuel storage container. Follow the mix instructions found on stabiliz- er containers. Run engine at least 5 minutes after adding stabilizer.

Poulan/Weed Eater 40:1, 2-cycle engine oil (air cooled) is blended with fuel stabilizer. If you do not use this oil, you can add a fuel sta- bilizer to your fuel tank.

HELPFUL TIP

During storage of your gas/ oil mixture, the oil will sepa- rate from the gas.

We recommend that you shake the gas can weekly to insure proper blending of the gas and oil.

ENGINE

SRemove spark plug and pour 1 teaspoon of 40:1, 2-cycle engine oil (air cooled) through the spark plug opening. Slowly pull the starter rope 8 to 10 times to distrib-

ute oil.

SReplace spark plug with new one of rec- ommended type and heat range.
