Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its original position when you release it. (96)

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

(97)

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. (98)

Right hand guard

Check that the right hand guard is not damaged and that there are no visible defects, such as cracks. (11)

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. (99)

Stop switch

Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you move the stop switch to the stop setting. (53)

NB! The start/stop switch automatically returns to run position. In order to prevent unintentional starting, the spark plug cap must be removed from the spark plug when assembling, checking and/or performing maintenance.

Muffler

Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.

Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the machine. (100)

Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor screen. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should clean the screen at least once a week.This is best done with a wire brush. A blocked screen will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious damage.

Note! The screen must be replaced if it is damaged. If the screen is blocked the machine will overheat and this will cause damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a machine with a muffler that is in poor condition. Never use a muffler if the spark arrestor screen is missing or defective. (13)

The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause fire if directed against dry and combustible material.
