ADJUSTING IDLE SPEED
See Figure 13.
WARNING:
The chain will move around the guide bar when
adjusting the idle speed. Wear all protective
clothing and keep all bystanders, children, and
pets at least 50 ft. away. Make adjustments
with the unit supported on a stable surface so
that the chain/guide bar does not contact the
ground or any object. Keep all parts of your
body away from the chain/guide bar and muf-
fler. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious personal injury.
If the engine starts, runs, and accelerates,
but will not idle, turn the idle speed screw "T"
clockwise to increase idle speed.
If the chain turns at idle, turn the idle speed
screw "T" counterclockwise to reduce the
idle RPM and stop the chain movement. If the
saw chain still moves at idle speed, contact an
authorized service center for adjustment and
discontinue use until the repair is made.
WARNING:
THE SAW CHAIN SHOULD NEVER TURN AT
IDLE. Turn the idle speed screw "T" counter-
clockwise to reduce the idle RPM and stop the
chain, or contact an authorized service center
for adjustment and discontinue use until the
repair is made. Serious personal injury could
result from the saw chain turning at idle.
PULL AND PUSH
See Figure 14.
The reaction force of the saw is always opposite to
the direction the chain is moving. Thus, the operator
must be ready to control the PULL when cutting
on the bottom edge of the bar and the PUSH when
cutting along the top edge.
NOTE: The chain saw has been fully factory
tested. It is normal to find some slight oil residue
on the saw.
