1.H and L needles are restricted within the number of turn as shown below.
H needle : | |
L needle : |
2.Start the engine and allow it to warm up in low speed for a few minutes.
3.Turn the idle adjusting screw (T) counterclockwise so that the saw chain does not turn. If the idling speed is too slow, turn the screw clockwise.
4.Make a test cut and adjust the H needle for best cutting power, not for maximum speed.
NOTE
•Over revolution of H needle causes a lack of power or a poor acceleration. In such a case please turn the H needle a little counterclockwise.
■CHAIN BRAKE
This machine is equipped with an automatic brake to stop saw chain rotation upon occurrence of kickback during saw cutting. The brake is automatically operated by inertial force, which acts on the weight fitted inside the front guard.
This brake can also be operated manually with the front guard turned down to the guide bar.
To release the brake, pull up the front guard toward the front handle till a “click” sound is heard.
(1) Front handle
(2) Released
(3) Braking
(4) Brake lever
[Caution]
Be sure to confirm brake operation during daily inspec- tion.
How to confirm:
1)Turn off the engine.
2)Holding the chain saw horizontally, release your hand from the front handle, hit the tip of the guide bar to a stump or a piece of wood, and confirm brake op- eration. Operating level varies by bar size.
In case the brake is not effective, ask our dealer for inspection and repairs.
If the engine keeps rotating at high speed with the brake engaged, the clutch will overheat causing trouble. When the brake engages during operation, immediately release the throttle lever to stop the engine.
■ICING PREVENTION SYSTEM
This system prevents icing of the carburetor which some- times happen while sawing in winter.
When your saw has stopped or slowed down abruptly, use the system as follows:
1.Remove the air cleaner cover, air filter, and silencer.
(1)Cylinder cover
(2)Air cleaner cover
(3)Intake silencer
(4)Air filter
2.Unhook the hatch on the rear wall of the cylinder cover and turn it upside down.
