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.
