CARBURETOR ANTI-FREEZE MECHANISM
Operating the chainsaw in temperatures of 0-5°C at a time of high humidity may result in ice forming
within the carburetor, and this in turn may cause the output power of engine to fail to operate smoo-
thly.
This product has been designed with a ventilation hatch on the back of the air cleaner cover to allow
warm air to be supplied to the engine and to prevent ice from forming.
Under normal circumstances the product should be used in regular operating mode, i.e., in the mode to
which it is set at the time of shipment. However when the possibility exists that ice may form, the unit
should be set to operate in anti-freeze mode before use.
WARNING! Continuing to use the product in the anti-freeze mode even when temperatures have risen
and returned to normal may result in the engine failing to start properly or in the engine failing to
operate at its normal speed, and for this reason you should always be sure to return the unit to normal
operating mode if there is no danger of ice forming.
HOW TO SWITCH BETWEEN OPERATING MODES (F16)
1. Flip the engine switch to turn off the engine.
2. Remove the air cleaner cover and remove the screen on the back of the air cleaner cover.
3. Reposition the display on the right side to the leﬞ so that the anti-icing plate is on the right. Reinstall
the cover.

operating mode if there is no danger of ice forming.
