Switch is in start position

“I”.)

accelerate properly.

Engine starts but will

not run properly at high

speed.

1. No spark.

2. Flooded engine.

Carburetor requires “L” (Low jet)

adjustment.

Carburetor requires “H” (High jet)

adjustment.

1. Check spark. Remove air filter cover. Remove spark

plug from cylinder. Reattach the spark plug wire and

lay spark plug on top of cylinder with the metal part

of plug touching the cylinder. Pull the starter rope

and watch for spark at spark plug tip. If there is no

spark, repeat test with a new spark plug.

Move choke lever to run position (pushed in com-

pletely) and pull starter cord 15 to 20 times. This will

clear excess fuel from engine. Clean and reinstall

spark plug. Set Ignition Switch to run (I) position.

Push and fully release primer bulb 7 times. Pull

starter three times with choke lever at run. If engine

does not start, move choke lever to choke and re-

peat normal starting procedure. If engine still fails to

start, repeat procedure with a new spark plug.

STORING THE CHAIN SAW (1 MONTH OR

LONGER)

1. Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for

gasoline.

2. Run the engine until it stops. This will remove all fuel-oil

mix that could become stale and leave varnish and
gum in the fuel system.

3. Drain all bar and chain oil from tank into a container

approved for oil.

MAINTENANCE

4. Clean all foreign material from the saw.
5. Store it in a well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to

children.

Note: Keep away from corrosive agents such as gar-
den chemicals and deicing salts.

Abide by all federal and local regulations for the safe stor-
age and handling of gasoline. Excess fuel should be used
in other 2-cycle engine powered equipment.
