MAINTENANCE

Throttle lock

•Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting when the throttle lock is released.

•Press the throttle lock and make sure it returns to its original position when you release it.

•Check that the throttle control and throttle lock move freely and that the return springs work properly.

•Start the chain saw and apply full throttle. Release the throttle control and check that the chain stops and remains stationary. If the chain rotates when the throttle control is in the idle position you should check the carburetor idle adjustment.

Chain catcher

Check that the chain catcher is not damaged and is ﬁrmly attached to the body of the chain saw.

Vibration damping system

Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation.

Make sure the vibration damping units are securely attached to the engine unit and handle unit.
