Standard setting
If the carburetor has to be
adjusted from scratch, first carry
out the standard setting.
Carefully screw down the low
speed adjusting screw (L) until it is
hard against its seat. Then open it
one full turn counterclockwise.
- Check chain tension.
- Check air filter and clean
if necessary.
- Start the saw -
warm up the engine.
- Adjust idle speed correctly
(chain must not rotate).
