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.

Right hand guard

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

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.

Stop switch

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