Before using your new chain saw
cRead the Operator’s Manual carefully.
● Check the assembly and adjustment of the cutting equipment (page 6).
● Start the saw and check the carburetor adjustment (page 16-17).
s Do not start sawing until a sufficient amount of chain oil has reached the chain (page 7,12-13).
IMPORTANT! A too lean carburetor adjustment increases the risk of serious engine malfunction.
Insufficient air filter maintenance increases the deposits on the spark plug. This can cause starting
difficulties. Incorrectly adjusted chain increases the wear and damage on the bar, the drive
sprocket and the chain.
You will find one or more of the following warning labels on the saw in black printing on yellow background.

\ Fit the bar over the bar bolts. Place the bar in its rearmost
position. Place the chain over the drive sprocket and in the
groove on the bar. Begin on the top side of the bar. Make sure
that the edges on the cutting links are facing forward on the top
side of the bar.
.—J.—.—
Fit the clutch cover (chain brake) and locate the chain adjuster
pin in the hole on the bar. Check that the drive links of the chain
fit correctly on the drive sprocket and that the chain is in the
I
groove on the bar. Tighten the bar nuts finger tight.
Tension the chain by using the combination wrench. Turn the
chain adjuster screw clockwise. The chain should be tensioned
until it fits snugly on the underside of the bar.
Hold up the tip of the bar and tighten the chain. The chain is
correctly tensioned when there is no slack on the underside of tt
bar, but it can still be turned easily by hand. Hold up the bar tip
and tighten the bar nuts with the combination wrench.
When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be checked
frequently until the chain is run-in.
Check the chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain
gives good cutting performance and long lifetime.

In temperatures below OOC(320F)some oils become less

I i
~ WARNING!
●Always shut off the engine before refueling.
* ●Slowly open the fuel tank, when filling up with fuel, so that
possible over- pressure disappears.
●Tighten the fuel cap carefully, after fueling.
●Always move the saw away from the fueling area before
starting.
Before fueling, clean the tank cap area carefully, to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank and causes malfunction. Make sure that
the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container, before fueling.
The volume of the chain oil tank and the fuel tank are adjusted to
each other. Therefore, always fill up with chain oil and fuel at the
same time.

R Inertia activated chain brake
The inertia activated chain brake is activated when the front hand
guard is pushed forward, either manually or by a weight in the
hand guard.
The advantage of the inertia brake is that the brake is activated
after kick-back, even if the user’s left hand does not contact the
hand guard, i.e., also when the saw is in the felling position.
Maintenance:
~ WARNING! Dirt and wear affect the function of the brake.
Follow all maintenance instructions, carefully. If anything is
incorrect with your chain brake contact your servicing dealer.
L
With the engine shut off, the hand guard can be moved back and
forth, to ensure that the mechanism works freely and also that the
brake activates. If necessary, clean the brake from resin and
chips. Lubricate the mechanism and bearing surfaces with oil.
Check that the brake band is at least 0.65 mm (.026 in) thick, at
the most worn part.

Muffler
The muffler is designed in order to reduce the noise level and to
direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust
gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause fire if
directed against dry and combustible material. Some mufflers are
equipped with a special screen. If your saw has this type of
muffler, you should clean the screen at least once a week. This is
done with a wire brush. The screen must be replaced, if
damaged. The saw will be overheated, if the screen is clogged.
This results in damage on the cylinder and the piston.
CAUTION! Never use a saw with a clogged or defective muffler.
Y7
which may result in malfunction and starting difficulties. If the
engine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly at
idling speed, always check the spark plug first. If the spark
plug is dirty, clean it and check the electrode gap. Readjust if
necessary. The correct gap is 0.5 mm (.020”). The spark plug
o
should be replaced yearly, or earlier if the electrodes are badly
eroded.

Changing the broken recoil spring
Lift the starter pulley. (See, Changing a broken or worn starter
cord). The recoil spring is disassembled from the starter device,
with its inside facing down. Tap the starter lightly against a
working bench or similar. Put a new recoil spring in the right
position, If the spring pops out when assembling, it should be

Chain lubrication
Fill up the chain oil tank with chain oil each time you fuel, Never
run the chain dry. Insufficient oil may cause friction which leads to
cracks in the links. Waste oil must be avoided for the same
reason. Always use a proper chain oil which is off the non-fling
4
type and stands the pressure of the cutters. Bars provided with
nose sprockets are to be lubricated when refilling. Clean bar
groove and oil filling hole regularly,
Sharpening
Never cut with a dull saw chain. A chain which does not cut 1111
unless you press it hard against the wood is damaged, dull or
incorrectly filed. In order to file the chain correctly you need:
round file (A), file gauge (B), flat file (C) and a depth gauge tool
(D). By using the correct file size (see the table) and an file gauge
with a marked filing angle, it is easier to receive a good result.
NOTE! Check that the drive link does no?have a too large play in
the bar groove. This can give an incorrect filing result. Always file
from the inside of the teeth and out. Then turn the saw and file on
the other side. In order to receive a straight cut in the wood, all
the teeth should be filed to the same length. If the chain is filed
regularly, only a few strokes are needed on every saw tooth. For
the best performance, every chain type has different cutting
angles, file sizes and filing depth (see the table).

Adjust the idling speed with the screw T, If it is necessary to
readjust, first turn the idle speed adjusting screw T clockwise,
until the chain starts to rotate.
Then turn, counter-clockwise until the chain stops. A correctly
adjusted idle speed setting (approx. 3000 rpm) occurs when the
engine runs smoothly in every position.
It should also be good margin to the rpm when the chain starts to

CAUTION! contact your servicing dealer, if the idle speed
setting cannot be adjusted so that the chain stops. Do not
use the saw until it has been properly adjusted or repaired.

We have already pointed out that a chain saw is a
dangerous tool, if used carelessly, or if improperly
maintained. If you use your chain saw as intended,
it is an excellent tool. Should you lack information in
any respect, should you feel uncertain about
anything, please contact us or one of our servicing
dealers. Feel free to visit our servicing dealers at
any time. They will give you continuous information
about new features on our saws, safety devices,
new products, new accessories, etc.
