ASSEMBLING GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN

A. Undo the guide bar nuts and remove the clutch cover and trans-

port packing piece.

B. Place the guide bar into its rearmost position. Make sure that the

chain tensioning stud is properly in the hole in the guide bar.

C. Fit the chain around the drive sprocket and in the groove of the

bar. Start on the upper side of the guide bar.

Make sure that the cutting edges of the sawing teeth along the

top of the guide bar are facing towards the tip. Also check that the

drive links go down properly into the drive sprocket.

D, Tension the chain so that it does not sag along the bottom of the

guide bar. Check that the chain and guide bar fit properly.

Fit the clutch cover and tighten the nuts fingertight only,

Pull the chain afew turns around by hand and check that it can

move freely.

E

[

Tension the chain while holding up the bar tip. Do not tension the

chain stronger than it can be pulled around by hand.

Tighten the guide bar nuts.

NOTE!

Do not forget to “run in” the chain and guide bar. Please see the

chain manufacturer’s recommendation.

Check the chain tension frequently for optimal perform-

ance and durability

FUEL AND OIL

NOTE!

On no account waste oil should be used as this can damage the oil

pump.

Always top up with fuel and chain lubricant at the same time

MAINTAINING THE CHAIN BRAKE

This chain saw is equipped with anew type of automatic chain brake

that has been adjusted at the factory. It will need no further adjust-

ment.

Release the chain brake as soon as you move or cease working even

if it is for ashort break. Push the front hand guard to release the

brake. ‘:”

During the break: .

Check that the brake mechanism works smoothly.

If not, remove resin and sawdust. Check that supports and sliding

surfaces are lubricated with grease or temperature-resistant engine

oil.

Apply full throttle and release the chain brake. The chain should

immediately stop rotating.

~,,

Use the following procedw’e to check that the automatic chain brake

actuates correctly;

Hold the chain saw horizontally abt 20 cm over atrunk. NOTE! Switch

off the engine! Release your grip on the front handle. As the saw by

force of its own weight swings around the rear handle and the guide

bar tip hits the trunk, the brake should actuate.

At the service workshop:

Check that the brake mechanism and the brake band are free from

sawdust and dirt.

Check the wear of the brake band. In unbraked position it must not

touch the clutch drum.

Check the wear of the chain brake mechanism.

Check that the front hand guard is not damaged.

Lubricate the supports and gliding surfaces of the front hand guard

with grease or temperature-resistant engine oil.

ADJUSTING THE CARBURETOR

The carburetor has three adjusting screws:

L=Low speed needle

H=High spaed needle

T=Throttle adjusting screw

The carburetor is adjusted as follows:

1. Clean the air filter.

2. Screw the needles Hand Lcarefully right in.

3. Then screw the needles out to recommended basic position:

H=1turn out

L=1turn out

4.

5.

Start the engine and warm it up. Adjust the idling speed by means

of the throttle adjusting screw so that the chain starts rotating.

Adjust the low speed needle to reach the highest speed at which

the engine is still idling, Then screw the needle out equivalent to

10 minutes on aclock-face.

6

7

Again adjust the idling speed by means of the throttle screw (see

under 4above) so that aspeed of approx 2,500 r/rein is received.

ADDIV full throttle, At correct adjustment of the hiqh sDeed needle,

the e’ngine should be fourstrok~ng. -.

If this is not the case screw out the needle to reach adistinct

fourstroke.

Engine speed: Maximum 12,500 r/rein.

NOTE!

-

Should the engine not be fourstroking, there is arisk

of piston seizure.

Adjust the high speed needle for maximum power and not

for maximum speed!

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

In order to get at the air filter, remove the cylinder cover by undoing

the three retaining screws and lifting the cover off upward% back-

wards,

Lift off the filter carefully to prevent dirt from falling down into the

carburetor.

Rinse the filter in warm soap suds.

Do not rinse in fuel, Reassemble the filter and make sure that it lies

close to the carburetor. Use two filters alternately. Clean the filter

daily.

CHANGING STARTER CORD AND

RETURN SPRING

Loosen the four screws that retain the starter

Remove the starter.

Pull out the cord approx. 30 cm and lift up into the notch in the

periphery of the pulley. Zero-set the return spring by letting the

pulley rotate slowly backwards. Undo the screw in the centre of the

pulley. If necessary, remove the return spring and change it.

Lubricate the new springWiih engineoil.

Assemble the remaining parts in reverse order of removal.

Lift up the starter cord into the notch on the pulley. Tension the

return spring by turning the pulley clockwise about two turns.

NOTE!

Make sure that it is possible to turn the pulley at least half a

turn further when the cord is pulled out completely.

STARTING THE CHAIN SAW

Cold engine

.....

-_-..-,’1, A$ \

1. Switch on the ignition (push the ignition switch to the left so that

the 1is visible).

2. Push UII the choke control.

3. Push down the throttle trigger lockout (A).

4, Open the throttle fully (B).

5. Push down the throttle latch (C).

Now all controls are in starting position and the chain saw is ready to

be started.

6. Put your right foot on the plate under the rear handle.

7. Grasp the front handle with your left hand and press the saw

against the ground.

8. Grasp the starter handle with your right hand and pull out the

starting cord slowly until the starter pawls engage.

9. Give the starting cord asharp tug.

NOTE!

One of the most common causes of starting difficulties is that too

many starting attempts have been made with aclosed choke flap. If

this is the case, remove the spark plug and wipe it dry. Open the

choke flap fully.

Before you reassemble the spark plug, pull the starter handle several

times to “ventilate the cylinder”, the ignition switch in O-position.

Fit the spark plug and make anew starting attempt with open choke

flap and full throttle.

CAUTION!

Guide bar, chain and clutch cover must be fitted before the

engine is started, otherwise the clutch may come loose and

cause injuries.

NOTE!

Do not pull out the starting cord entirely or release the starter handle

in pulled out position, as this can cause damages on the chain saw.

10. Normally the engine will start after 2X3 starting attempts. Push

down the choke control as soon the engine starts.

Open rapidly the throttle wide and the latch will disengage.

WINTER USE

In winter, extreme cold and powdery snow can cause running prob-

lems.

The partition wall is prepared for cold working conditions. In the

partition wall there is ahole, that is covered by alid (A) when

operating at normal temperatures,

In case of extreme cold, this lid shall be removed so that heated air

from the cylinder can flow into the carburetor space and prevent the

air filter from being iced up.

fNOTE!

Under normal temperature conditions the lid has to be

closed. Otherwise there is acertain risk of overheating the

chain saw.
