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

starter cover vents.
 Clean the air filter. Refer to Cleaning the Air
Filter in the Maintenance section of this manual.
 Allow the engine to warm up prior to adjustment
of engine idle speed.
WARNING:
Weather conditions and altitude may affect
carburetion. Do not allow bystanders close to
the chain saw while adjusting the carburetor.

ment controls how much the throttle valve stays
