WHAT IS WHAT?  
IMPORTANT! If the carburettor mixture is too lean it greatly  
increases the risk of engine failure. Poor maintenance of the  
air filter will cause carbon build-up on the spark plug and lead  
to starting difficulties. If the chain is improperly adjusted it will  
cause increased wear or damage to the bar, drive sprocket  
and chain.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
You can also use the chain brake as a temporary brake  
Chain brake and front hand guard  
when you change position or if you put the chain saw  
down for a short time! Apart from the fact that a chain saw  
with a chain brake greatly reduces the risk of accidents  
due to kickback, you should also apply the chain brake  
manually if there is a risk of the chain accidentally hitting  
anyone or anything close by.  
Your chain saw is equipped with a chain brake that is  
designed to stop the chain immediately if you get a kickback.  
The chain brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only you  
can prevent them.  
Take care when using your saw and make sure the kickback  
zone of the bar never touches any object.  
The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually (by  
your left hand) or automatically by the inertia release  
mechanism (a pendulum that swings independently of the  
chain saw. On most of our models the front hand guard  
acts as a counterweight in case of kickback).  
To release the chain brake pull the front hand guard  
backwards, towards the front handle.  
The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is  
pushed forwards.  
Kickback can be very sudden and violent. Most kickbacks  
are minor and do not always activate the chain brake. If  
this happens you should hold the chain saw firmly and not  
let go.  
This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism that  
tightens the brake band (C) around the engine drive  
system (D) (clutch drum).  
The way the chain brake is activated, either manually or  
automatically by the inertia release mechanism, depends  
on the force of the kickback and the position of the chain  
saw in relation to the object that the kickback zone of the  
bar strikes.  
The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate the  
chain brake. Another important feature is that it reduces  
the risk of the chain hitting your left hand if you lose grip  
of the front handle.  
If you get a violent kickback while the kickback zone of the  
bar is farthest away from you the chain brake will be  
activated by the movement of the counterweight (inertia  
activated) in the kickback direction.  
The chain brake must be engaged when the chain saw is  
started.  
If the kickback is less violent or the kickback zone of the  
bar is closer to you the chain brake will be activated  
manually by the movement of your left hand.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
During felling your left hand grasps the front handle in  
Vibration damping system  
such a way that it cannot activate the chain brake. In this  
position, i.e. when your left hand is in such a position that  
it cannot affect the movement of the front hand guard, the  
chain brake can only be activated by the inertia of the  
counterweight.  
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system  
that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation  
easier.  
When you use a chain saw, vibration is generated by the  
uneven contact between the chain and the wood you are  
cutting.  
The inertia activated chain brake is a valuable feature but  
there are certain factors to remember (see point above).  
Cutting hardwoods (most broadleaf trees) creates more  
vibration than cutting softwoods (most conifers). Cutting with  
cutting equipment that is blunt or faulty (wrong type or badly  
sharpened) will increase the vibration level. See instructions  
under the heading Cutting equipment.  
Throttle lock  
The throttle lock is designed to prevent accidental operation  
of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when  
you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (B).  
When you release the handle the throttle control and the  
throttle lock both move back to their original positions. This  
movement is controlled by two independent return springs.  
This arrangement means that the throttle control is  
automatically locked at the idle setting.  
The machines vibration damping system reduces the transfer  
of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and  
the machines handle unit. The body of the chain saw,  
including the cutting equipment, is insulated from the handles  
by vibration damping units.  
Chain catcher  
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can  
lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage  
in people who have impaired circulation.  
The chain catcher is designed to catch the chain if it snaps or  
jumps off. This should not happen if the chain is properly  
tensioned (see instructions under the heading Assembly) and  
if the bar and chain are properly serviced and maintained  
(see instructions under the heading General working  
instructions).  
!
Contact your doctor if you experience  
symptoms of overexposure to vibration.  
Such symptoms include numbness, loss of  
feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of  
strength, changes in skin colour or  
condition.These symptoms normally appear  
in the fingers, hands or wrists.The risk  
increases at low temperatures.  
Stop switch  
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.  
Right hand guard  
Apart from protecting your hand if the chain jumps or snaps,  
the right hand guard stops branches and twigs from  
interfering with your grip on the rear handle.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Checking the front hand guard  
Muffler  
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum  
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.  
Make sure the front hand guard is not damaged and that there  
are no visible defects such as cracks.  
WARNING! The exhaust fumes from the  
engine are hot and may contain sparks  
which can start a fire. Never start the  
machine indoors or near combustible  
material!  
!
Move the front hand guard forwards and back to make sure it  
moves freely and that it is securely anchored to the clutch  
cover.  
In areas with a hot, dry climate there is a high risk of fires.  
These areas are sometimes controlled by legislation and  
requirements that among other things the muffler must be  
equipped with an approved type of spark arrestor mesh.  
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the instructions  
on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine. See  
instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining and  
servicing the machine’s safety equipment.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Keep the chain’s cutting teeth properly sharpened!  
Muffler  
Follow our instructions and use the recommended file  
gauge. A damaged or badly sharpened chain increases  
the risk of accidents.  
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.  
Maintain the correct raker clearance! Follow our  
instructions and use the recommended raker gauge.  
Too large a clearance increases the risk of kickback.  
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the  
machine.  
Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is slack  
it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased wear on  
the bar, chain and drive sprocket.  
If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark arrestor  
mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will  
cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious  
damage.  
Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and properly  
maintained! A poorly lubricated chain is more likely to  
break and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and  
drive sprocket.  
Never use a muffler if the spark arrestor mesh is missing  
or defective.  
WARNING! Never use a machine with faulty  
safety equipment.The machine’s safety  
equipment must be checked and maintained

General information on sharpening cutting teeth  
Never use a blunt chain.When the chain is blunt you have  
to exert more pressure to force the bar through the wood  
and the cuttings will be very small.If the chain is very blunt  
it will not produce any cuttings at all. Wood powder would  
be the only result.  
Number of drive links. The number of drive links is  
determined by the length of the bar, the chain pitch and  
the number of teeth on the bar tip sprocket.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and  
produces long, thick cuttings.  
WARNING! The following faults will increase  
the risk of kickback considerably:  
!
File angle too large  
Cutting angle too small  
File diameter too small  
The cutting part of the chain is called the cutting link and  
this consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the raker lip (B).The  
cutting depth is determined by the difference in height  
between the two.  
Sharpening cutting teeth  
When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are five important  
factors to remember.  
1
Filing angle  
To sharpen cutting teeth you will need a round file and a file  
gauge. See the Technical data section for information on the  
size of file and gauge that are recommended for the chain  
fitted to your chain saw.  
2
3
Cutting angle  
File position  
Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack chain  
will move sideways, making it more difficult to sharpen  
correctly.  
Always file cutting teeth from the inside face. Reduce the  
pressure on the return stroke.File all the teeth on one side  
first, then turn the chain saw over and file the teeth on the  
other side.  
4
5
Round file diameter  
File depth  
File all the teeth to the same length. When the length of  
the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (0.16") the chain is  
worn out and should be replaced.  
It is very difficult to sharpen a chain correctly without the right  
equipment. We recommend that you use our file gauge. This  
will help you obtain the maximum kickback reduction and  
cutting performance from your chain.  
See the Technical data section for information about  
sharpening your chain.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
General advice on setting raker clearance  
Tensioning the chain  
When you sharpen the cutting teeth you reduce the raker  
clearance (=cutting depth). To maintain optimal cutting  
performance you must file back the raker lip to the  
recommended height.  
WARNING! A slack chain may jump off and  
cause serious or even fatal injury.  
See the Technical data section to find the raker clearance  
for your particular chain.  
!
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is  
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the  
slack.  
Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A new  
chain has a running-in period during which you should check  
the tension more frequently.  
On a low-kickback cutting link the front edge of the raker  
lip is rounded. It is very important that you maintain this  
radius or bevel when you adjust the raker clearance.  
The position of the chain tensioning screw on our chain saws  
varies from model to model. See the What is what? section to  
find out where it is on your model.  
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight that  
you cannot pull it round freely by hand.  
We recommend that you use our raker gauge to achieve  
the correct clearance and bevel on the raker lip.  
WARNING! The risk of kickback is increased  
if the raker clearance is too large!  
!
Undo the bar nuts that hold the clutch cover/chain brake.  
Use the combination spanner. Then tighten the bar nuts  
by hand as tight as you can.  
Setting the raker clearance  
Before setting the raker clearance the cutting teeth should  
be newly sharpened. We recommend that you adjust the  
raker clearance every third time you sharpen the chain.  
NOTE! This recommendation assumes that the length of  
the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.  
Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the chain by tightening  
the chain tensioning screw using the combination  
spanner. Tighten the chain until it does not sag from the  
underside of the bar.  
To adjust the raker clearance you will need a flat file and a  
raker gauge.  
Use the combination spanner to tighten the bar nuts while  
lifting the tip of the bar at the same time. Check that you  
can pull the chain round freely by hand and that it does not  
sag from the underside of the bar.  
Place the gauge over the raker lip.  
Place the file over the part of the lip that protrudes through  
the gauge and file off the excess.The clearance is correct  
when you no longer feel any resistance as you draw the  
file over the gauge.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
If the chain lubrication is not working:  
Lubricating cutting equipment  
Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed.  
Clean if necessary.  
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting  
equipment may cause the chain to snap,  
which could lead to serious, even fatal  
injuries.  
!
Chain oil  
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and  
also maintain its flow characteristics regardless of whether it  
is warm summer or cold winter weather.  
Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean.  
Clean if necessary.  
As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an optimal  
chain oil which, with its vegetable oil base, is also  
biodegradable.We recommend the use of our own oil for both  
maximum chain life and to minimise environmental damage.  
If our own chain oil is not available, standard chain oil is  
recommended.  
In areas where oil specifically for lubrication of saw chains is  
unavailable, ordinary EP 90 transmission oil may be used.  
Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that the  
lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not blocked. Clean  
and lubricate if necessary.  
Never use waste oil! This is dangerous for yourself, the  
machine and the environment.  
Filling with chain oil  
All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication  
system. On some models the oil flow is also adjustable.  
If the chain lubrication system is still not working after carrying  
out the above checks and associated measures you should  
contact your service agent.  
Lubricating the bar tip sprocket  
The sizes of the chain oil tank and fuel tank have been  
chosen so that the engine will run out of fuel before  
running out of oil. This means that you should never run  
with a dry chain.  
Lubricate the bar tip sprocket each time you refuel. Use the  
special grease gun and a good quality bearing grease.  
However, this safety feature requires that you use the right  
sort of chain oil (if the oil is too thin it will run out before the  
fuel), and that you adjust the carburettor as recommended  
(a weak mixture may mean that the fuel lasts longer than  
the oil) and that you also use the recommended cutting  
equipment (a bar that is too long will use more chain oil).  
The above conditions also apply to chain saw models with  
an adjustable oil pump.  
Needle bearing lubrication  
Checking chain lubrication  
Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel.  
Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about 20  
cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 throttle  
you should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface.  
The clutch drum is fitted with one of the following drive  
sprockets:  
A Spur sprocket (the chain sprocket is welded on the drum)  
B Rim sprocket (replaceable)  
Both versions have a needle bearing on the drive shaft, which  
has to be greased regularly (once a week). CAUTION! Use a  
high-quality bearing grease or engine oil.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If a  
hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is due to  
running with a slack chain.  
Checking wear on cutting equipment  
Check the chain daily for:  
To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over daily.  
Visible cracks in rivets and links.  
Whether the chain is stiff.  
Whether rivets and links are badly worn.  
WARNING! Most chain saw accidents  
happen when the chain touches the  
operator.  
We recommend you compare the existing chain with a new  
chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.

are working. See instructions under the  
headings General working instructions and  
General safety precautions.  
Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket.  
Replace if wear is excessive. Replace the drive sprocket  
whenever you replace the chain.  
How to avoid kickback  
WARNING! Kickback can happen very  
suddenly and violently; kicking the chain  
saw, bar and chain back at the user. If this  
happens when the chain is moving it can  
cause very serious, even fatal injuries. It is  
vital you understand what causes kickback  
and that you can avoid it by taking care and  
using the right working technique.  
Bar  
!
Check regularly:  
Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar. Remove  
these with a file if necessary.  
What is kickback?  
The word kickback is used to describe the sudden reaction  
that causes the chain saw and bar to jump off an object when  
the upper quadrant of the tip of the bar, known as the kickback  
zone, touches an object.  
Whether the groove in the bar has become badly worn.  
Replace the bar if necessary.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Kickback always occurs in the cutting plane of the bar.  
4
Never use the chain saw above shoulder height and try  
Normally the chain saw and bar are thrown backwards and  
upwards towards the user. However, the chain saw may move  
in a different direction depending on the way it was being used  
when the kickback zone of the bar touched the object.  
not to cut with the tip of the bar. Never use the chain saw  
one-handed!  
5
You must have a steady stance in order to have full control  
over the chain saw. Never work standing on a ladder, in a  
tree or where you do not have firm ground to stand on.  
Kickback only occurs if the kickback zone of the bar touches  
an object.  
General rules  
1
If you understand what kickback is and how it happens  
then you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.  
By being prepared you reduce the risk.Kickback is usually  
quite mild, but it can sometimes be very sudden and  
violent.  
6

Always use a fast cutting speed, i.e. full throttle.  
Take great care when you cut with the top edge of the bar,  
i.e. when cutting from the underside of the object. This is  
known as cutting on the push stroke. The chain tries to  
push the chain saw back towards the user.  
2
Always hold the chain saw firmly with your right hand on  
the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.  
Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the handles.You  
should use this grip whether you are right-handed or left-  
handed.This grip minimises the effect of kickback and lets  
you keep the chain saw under control.  
Do not let go of the handles!  
Unless the user resists this pushing force there is a risk  
that the chain saw will move so far backwards that only the  
kickback zone of the bar is in contact with the tree, which  
will lead to a kickback.  
3
Most kickback accidents happen during limbing. Make  
sure you are standing firmly and that there is nothing in  
the way that might make you trip or lose your balance.  
Lack of concentration can lead to kickback if the kickback  
zone of the bar accidentally touches a branch, nearby tree  
or some other object.  
Cutting with the bottom edge of the bar, i.e. from the top  
of the object downwards, is known as cutting on the pull  
stroke. In this case the chain saw pulls itself towards the  
tree and the front edge of the chain saw body rests  
naturally on the trunk when cutting. Cutting on the pull  
stroke gives the operator better control over the chain saw  
and the position of the kickback zone.

!
Basic safety rules  
Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.  
Look around you:  
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling or  
mixing fuel (petrol and 2-stroke oil).  
-
To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot  
affect your control of the machine.  
Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling point  
before starting it.  
-
To make sure that none of the above might come  
within reach of your saw or be injured by falling trees.  
Never start the machine:  
Follow the instructions above, but do not use a chain saw in a  
situation where you cannot call for help in case of an accident.  
1
If you have spilt fuel or chain oil on the machine.Wipe  
off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate.  
Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense  
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in  
bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as  
icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc.  
2
If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes,  
change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that  
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.  
3
If the machine is leaking fuel.Check regularly for leaks  
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Take great care when removing small branches and avoid  
Basic cutting technique  
cutting bushes (i.e. cutting many small branches at the  
same time). Small branches can be grabbed by the chain  
and thrown back at you, causing serious injury.  
WARNING! Never use a chain saw by holding  
it with one hand. A chain saw is not safely  
controlled with one hand; you can cut  
yourself. Always have a secure, firm grip  
around the handles with both hands.  
!
General  
Make sure you can move and stand safely.Check the area  
around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches,  
ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take  
great care when working on sloping ground.  
Always use full throttle when cutting!  
Reduce the speed to idle after every cut (running the  
engine for too long at full throttle without any load, i.e.  
without any resistance from the chain during cutting, can  
lead to serious engine damage).  
Cutting from above = Cutting on the pull stroke.  
Cutting from below = Cutting on the push stroke.  
Cutting on the push stroke increases the risk of kickback. See  
instructions under the heading How to avoid kickback.  
Terms  
Take the utmost care when cutting through branches or  
logs that are in tension. A log or branch that is in tension  
can suddenly spring back into its natural position before or  
after you cut it. If you stand on the wrong side or start  
cutting in the wrong place it may strike you or your chain  
saw, so that you lose control. Both situations could cause  
serious injury.  
Cutting = General term for cutting through wood.  
Limbing = Cutting branches off a felled tree.  
Splitting = When the object you are cutting breaks off before  
the cut is complete.  
There are five important factors you should  
consider before making a cut:  
1
Make sure the cutting equipment will not jam in the cut.  
2
Make sure the object you are cutting will not split.  
Before moving your chain saw switch off the engine and  
lock the chain using the chain brake. Carry the chain saw  
with the bar and chain pointing backwards. Fit a guard to  
the bar before transporting the chain saw or carrying it for  
any distance.  
3
Make sure the chain will not strike the ground or any other  
object during or after cutting.  
4
5
Is there a risk of kickback?  
Never put a chain saw down while the engine is running  
unless you have it in clear view and the chain brake is on.  
Switch the engine off before leaving your chain saw for  
any length of time.  
Do the conditions and surrounding terrain affect how  
safely you can stand and move about?  
18 – English

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Two factors decide whether the chain will jam or the object  
Start by cutting from below (about 1/3 of the way through).  
that you are cutting will split: the first is how the object is  
supported before and after cutting, and the second is whether  
it is in tension.  
In most cases you can avoid these problems by cutting in two  
stages;from the top and from the bottom.You need to support  
the object so that it will not trap the chain or split during  
cutting.  
Finish by cutting from above so that the two cuts meet.  
WARNING! If the chain jams in the cut: stop  
the engine! Don’t try to pull the chain saw  
free. If you do you may be injured by the  
chain when the chain saw suddenly breaks  
free. Use a lever to open up the cut and free  
the chain saw.  
!
The log is supported at both ends. There is a high risk that  
the chain will jam.  
The following instructions describe how to handle the  
commonest situations you are likely to encounter when using  
a chain saw.  
Cutting  
The log is lying on the ground. There is little risk of the  
chain jamming or the object splitting. However there is a risk  
that the chain will touch the ground when you finish the cut.  
Start by cutting from above (about 1/3 of the way through).  
Cut all the way through the log from above. Avoid letting the  
chain touch the ground as you finish the cut. Maintain full  
throttle but be prepared for what might happen.  
Finish by cutting from below so that the two cuts meet.  
Limbing  
When limbing thick branches you should use the same  
approach as for cutting.  
Cut difficult branches piece by piece.  
If it is possible (can you turn the log?) stop cutting about 2/3  
of the way through the log.

1
3
Turn the log and finish the cut from the opposite side.  
The log is supported at one end. There is a high risk that it  
will split.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Tree felling technique  
WARNING! During critical felling operations,  
hearing protectors should be lifted  
immediately when sawing is completed so  
that sounds and warning signals can be  
heard.  
!
WARNING! It takes a lot of experience to fell  
a tree. Inexperienced users of chain saws  
should not fell trees. Do not attempt any task  
that you feel unsure of!  
!
Clearing the trunk and preparing your retreat  
Safe distance  
Remove any branches that are in the way.To do this it is best  
to work from the top down and keep the trunk between you  
and the chain saw. Never limb above shoulder height.  
The safe distance between a tree that is to be felled and  
anyone else working nearby is at least 2 1/2 tree lengths.  
Make sure that no-one else is in this ”risk zone” before or  
during felling.  
Remove any undergrowth from the base of the tree and check  
the area for obstacles (stones, branches, holes, etc.) so that  
you have a clear path of retreat when the tree starts to fall.  
Your path of retreat should be roughly 135 degrees away from  
the intended felling direction.  
Felling direction  
The aim is to fell the tree in a position where you can limb and  
cross-cut the log as easily as possible.You want it to fall in a  
location where you can stand and move about safely. The  
main point to avoid is letting the tree fall onto another tree.  
See instructions under the heading Freeing a tree that has  
fallen badly.  
Felling  
Felling is done using three cuts.First you make the directional  
cuts, which consist of the top cut and the bottom cut, then you  
finish with the felling cut. By placing these cuts correctly you  
can control the felling direction very accurately.  
Once you have decided which way you want the tree to fall  
you must judge which way the tree would fall naturally.  
Several factors affect this:  
Directional cuts  
Lean of the tree  
Bend  
To make the directional cuts you begin with the top cut. Stand  
to the right of the tree and cut on the pull stroke.  
Wind direction  
Arrangement of branches  
Weight of snow  
Next make the bottom cut so that it finishes exactly at the end  
of the top cut.  
You may find you are forced to let the tree fall in its natural  
direction because it is impossible or dangerous to try to make  
it fall in the direction you first intended.  
The directional cuts should run 1/4 of the diameter through  
the trunk and the angle between the top cut and bottom cut  
should be 45°.  
Another very important factor, which does not affect the felling  
direction but does affect your safety, is to make sure the tree  
has no damaged or dead branches that might break off and  
hit you during felling.  
20 – English  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
The line where the two cuts meet is called the directional cut  
line. This line should be perfectly horizontal and at right  
angles (90°) to the chosen felling direction.  
When the felling cut and directional cut are complete the tree  
should start to fall by itself or with the aid of a felling wedge or  
breaking bar.  
Felling cut  
The felling cut is made from the opposite side of the tree and  
it must be perfectly horizontal. Stand on the left side of the  
tree and cut on the pull stroke.  
We recommend that you use a bar that is longer than the  
diameter of the tree, so that you can make the felling cut and  
directional cuts with single cutting strokes. See the Technical  
data section to find out which lengths of bar are  
recommended for your saw.  
Make the felling cut about 3-5 cm (1.5-2 inches) above the  
bottom directional cut.  
There are methods for felling trees with a diameter larger than  
the bar length. However these methods involve a much  
greater risk that the kickback zone of the bar will come into  
contact with the tree.  
Set the spike bumper (if one is fitted) just behind the felling  
hinge. Use full throttle and advance the chain/bar slowly into  
the tree. Make sure the tree does not start to move in the  
opposite direction to your intended felling direction. Drive a  
wedge or breaking bar into the cut as soon as it is deep  
enough.  
WARNING! Unless you have special training  
we advise you not to fell trees with a  
diameter larger than the bar length of your  
saw!  
!
Finish the felling cut parallel with the directional cut line so  
that the distance between them is at least 1/10 of the trunk  
diameter. The uncut section of the trunk is called the felling  
hinge.  
Limbing  
WARNING! Most kickback accidents happen  
during limbing! Pay close attention to the  
position of the kickback zone of the bar  
when you are limbing branches that are in  
tension!  
!
Make sure that you can stand and move about safely.Work on  
the left side of the trunk. Work as close as possible to the  
chain saw for maximum control. If possible, let the weight of  
the chain saw rest on the trunk.  
The felling hinge controls the direction that the tree falls in.  
All control over the felling direction is lost if the felling hinge is  
too narrow or non-existent, or if the directional cuts and felling  
cut are badly placed.  
Keep the trunk between you and the chain saw as you move  
along the trunk.  
Cutting the trunk into logs

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Freeing a tree that has fallen badly  
Freeing a ”trapped tree”  
It is very dangerous to remove a trapped tree and there is high  
accident risk.  
The safest method is to use a winch.  
Tractor-mounted  
Portable  
Cutting trees and branches that are in tension  
Preparations:  
Work out which side is in tension and where the point of  
maximum tension is (i.e. where it would break if it was bent  
even more).  
Decide which is the safest way to release the tension and  
whether you are able to do it safely. In complicated situations  
the only safe method is to put aside your chain saw and use  
a winch.  
General advice:  
Position yourself so that you will be clear of the tree or branch  
when the tension is released.  
Make one or more cuts at or near the point of maximum  
tension. Make as many cuts of sufficient depth as necessary  
to reduce the tension and make the tree or branch break at  
the point of maximum tension.  
Never cut straight through a tree or branch that is in  
tension!

ASSEMBLY  
Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning screw  
Fitting the bar and chain  
clockwise using the combination spanner. The chain should  
be tensioned until it does not sag from the underside of the  
bar.  
WARNING! Always wear gloves, when  
working with the chain.  
!
Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position by  
moving the front hand guard towards the front handle.  
The chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag from the  
underside of the bar, but can still be turned easily by hand.  
Hold up the bar tip and tighten the bar nuts with the  
combination spanner.  
Remove the bar nuts and remove the clutch cover (chain  
brake). Take off the transportation ring (A).  
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 ensures good cutting  
performance and long life.  
Fit the bar over the bar bolts. Place the bar in its rearmost  
position. Place the chain over the drive sprocket locate it in  
the groove on the bar. Begin on the top edge of the bar.  
Fitting a spike bumper  
To t a spike bumper – contact your service agent.  
Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are facing  
forward on the top edge of the bar.  
Fit the clutch cover and locate the chain adjuster pin in the  
hole in the bar. Check that the drive links of the chain fit  
correctly over the drive sprocket and that the chain is correctly  
located in the groove in the bar. Tighten the bar nuts finger  
tight.

For engines over 80 cc: 01:33 (3%)  
CAUTION!The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine  
and must always been run using a mixture of petrol and two-  
stroke engine oil. It is important to accurately measure the

Mixing  
Petrol  
Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container intended  
for fuel.  
Use good quality unleaded or leaded petrol. Engines  
equipped with catalytic converters must be run on  
unleaded fuel mixtures.  
Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to be  
used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the  
fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of petrol.  
The lowest recommended octane grade is RON 90. If you  
run the engine on a lower octane grade than RON 90 so-  
called knocking can occur.This gives rise to a high engine  
temperature and increased bearing load, which can result  
in serious engine damage.  
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the  
machine’s fuel tank.  
When working with continuous high revs (e.g. limbing) a  
higher octane is recommended.  
Environment fuel  
JONSERED recommends the use of alkylate fuel, either  
Aspen two-stroke fuel or environment fuel for four-stroke  
engines blended with two-stroke oil as set out below. Note  
that carburettor adjustment may be necessary when  
changing the type of fuel (see the instructions under the  
heading Carburettor).  
Running-in  
Avoid running at a too high speed during the first 10 hours.  
Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a time.  
Two-stroke oil  
If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank  
should be emptied and cleaned.  
Always use JONSERED two-stroke oil, which is specially  
adapted for our two-stroke engines.  
JONSERED provides two stroke oils adapted for different  
application areas and climates. Please contact your  
dealer for information about the best options for your  
product and area of application.  
Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled  
outboard engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil.  
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.

adhesion characteristics.  
!
Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.  
Always shut off the engine before refuelling.  
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so  
that any excess pressure is released gently.  
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.  
Always move the machine away from the  
refuelling area before starting.  
In countries where no special chain oil is available, EP90  
transmission oil can be used.  
Clean the area around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel and chain  
oil tanks regularly. The fuel filter must be replaced at least  
once a year. Contamination in the tanks causes malfunction.  
Make sure the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container  
before refuelling.The capacities of the chain oil tank and fuel  
tank are carefully matched.You should therefore always fill  
the chain oil tank and fuel tank at the same time.  
Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil  
pump, the bar and the chain.  
It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable  
viscosity range) to suit the air temperature.  
In temperatures below 0°C (32°F) some oils become too  
viscous. This can overload the oil pump and result in  
damage to the oil pump components.  
Contact your service agent when choosing chain oil.

STARTING AND STOPPING  
Warm engine  
Starting and stopping  
WARNING! Note the following before  
starting:  
!
Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain  
and all covers are fitted correctly. Otherwise  
the clutch can come loose and cause  
personal injuries.  
Use the same procedure as for starting a cold engine but  
without setting the choke control in the choke position. The  
correct choke/start throttle setting is obtained by moving the  
choke control to the choke position and then pushing it in  
again.  
Always move the machine away from the  
refuelling area before starting.  
Place the machine on firm ground. Make  
sure you have a secure footing and that the  
chain cannot touch anything.  
Keep people and animals well away from the  
working area.  
Starting  
Cold engine  
Grip the front handle with your left hand. Hold the chain saw  
on the ground by placing your right foot through the rear  
handle. Pull the starter handle with your right hand and pull  
out the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as the  
starter pawls engage) then pull firmly and rapidly.Never twist  
the starter cord around your hand.  
Starting: The chain brake must be engaged when the chain  
saw is started. Activate the brake by moving the front hand  
guard forwards.  
Ignition: Slide the ignition switch to the left.  
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do  
not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended.  
This can damage the machine.  
Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.  
Start throttle: The correct choke/start throttle setting is  
obtained by moving the control to the choke position.  
Push in the choke control as soon as the engine fires and  
keep pulling until the engine starts. When the engine starts,  
quickly apply full throttle; the throttle start lock will  
automatically disengage.  
If the machine is fitted with a decompression valve (A): Press  
the valve to reduce the pressure in the cylinder and make  
starting easier.You should always use the decompression  
valve when starting the machine. Once the machine has  
started the valve will automatically return to its original  
setting.  
As the chain brake is still engaged the speed of the engine  
must be set to idling as soon as possible, this is achieved by  
quickly disengaging the throttle lock. This prevents  
unnecessary wear to the clutch, clutch drum and brake band.

The carburettor has three adjustment controls:  
Carburettor adjustment  
-
-
-
L = Low speed jet  
The carburettor can be designed in different ways, depending  
on existing environmental and emissions legislation. Some  
chain saws are equipped with movement limiters on the  
carburettor’s adjuster screws. These limit the adjustment  
possibilities to a maximum of a 1/2 turn.  
H = High speed jet  
T = Idle adjustment screw  
H
T
H
L
1/2  
1/2  
L
The L and H-jets are used to adjust the supply of fuel to  
match the rate that air is admitted, which is controlled with  
the throttle. If they are screwed clockwise the air/fuel ratio  
becomes leaner (less fuel) and if they are turned anti-  
clockwise the ratio becomes richer (more fuel). A lean  
mixture gives a higher engine speed and a rich mixture  
gives a lower engine speed.  
When your chain saw is equipped with a carburettor that  
features movement limiters, the carburettor should be  
adjusted according to the instructions under the heading  
Carburettor with movement limiters.  
When your chain saw is equipped with a carburettor that does  
not feature movement limiters, the carburettor should be  
adjusted according to the instructions under the heading  
Carburettor without movement limiters.  
The T-screw regulates the throttle setting at idle speed. If  
the T-screw is turned clockwise this gives a higher idle  
speed; turning it anti-clockwise gives a lower idle speed.

L
Basic settings and running in  
The basic carburettor settings are adjusted during testing at  
the factory. Avoid running at a too high speed during the first  
10 hours.  
CAUTION! If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw  
must be turned anti-clockwise until the chain stops.  
Contact your servicing dealer (retailer) if you are  
uncertain of which type of carburettor your chain saw is  
equipped with.  
Rec. idle speed: 2700 rpm  
WARNING! Contact your servicing dealer, if  
the idle speed setting cannot be adjusted so  
that the chain stops. Do not use the chain  
saw until it has been properly adjusted or  
repaired.

When the machine has been ”run-in” the carburettor should  
be finely adjusted. The fine adjustment should be carried out  
by a qualified person. First adjust the L-jet, then the idling  
screw T and then the H-jet.  
Your Jonsered product has been designed and manufactured  
to specifications that reduce harmful exhaust fumes.  
Changing the type of fuel  
Fine tuning may be required if the chain saw, after changing  
the type of fuel, performs differently with regard to starting,  
acceleration, maximum speed, etc.  
Function, Basic settings, Fine adjustment  
WARNING! Do not start the chain saw unless  
the bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake)  
are fitted, otherwise the clutch may come  
loose and cause personal injury.  
Conditions  
!
Before any adjustments are made the air filter should be  
clean and the cylinder cover fitted. Adjusting the  
carburettor while a dirty air filter is in use will result in a  
leaner mixture next time the filter is cleaned.This can give  
rise to serious engine damage.  
Function  
The carburettor governs the engine’s speed via the  
throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the carburettor.  
The air/fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct adjustment is  
essential to get the best performance from the machine.  
Do not attempt to adjust the L and H jets beyond either  
stop as this could cause damage.  
Now start the machine according to the starting  
instructions and let it warm up for 10 minutes. CAUTION!  
If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw must be  
turned anti-clockwise until the chain stops.  
Adjusting the carburettor means that the engine is  
adapted to local operating conditions, e.g. climate,  
altitude, petrol and the type of 2-stroke oil.  
Place the machine on a flat surface so that the bar points  
away from you and so that the bar and chain do not come  
into contact with the surface or other objects.

Turn the low speed jet L clockwise until it stops. If the engine  
accelerates poorly or idles unevenly, turn the low speed jet L  
anticlockwise until good acceleration and idling are achieved.  
CAUTION! If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw  
must be turned anti-clockwise until the chain stops.  
H

Fine adjustment of the idle speed T  
Adjust the idle speed with the T-screw. If it is necessary to re-  
adjust, turn theT-screw clockwise while the engine is running,  
until the chain starts to rotate. Then turn anti-clockwise until  
the chain stops.When the idle speed is correctly adjusted the  
engine should run smoothly in every position and the engine  
speed should be safely below the speed at which the chain  
starts to rotate.

The carburettor governs the engine’s speed via the  
throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the carburettor.  
The air/fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct adjustment is  
essential to get the best performance from the machine.  
High speed jet H  
At the factory the engine is adjusted at sea level. When  
working at a high altitude or in different weather  
conditions, temperatures and atmospheric humidity, it  
may be necessary to make minor adjustments to the high  
speed jet.  
Adjusting the carburettor means that the engine is  
adapted to local operating conditions, e.g. climate,  
altitude, petrol and the type of 2-stroke oil.  
The carburettor has three adjustment controls:  
CAUTION! If the high speed jet is screwed in too far, it  
may damage the piston/cylinder.  
-
-
-
L = Low speed jet  
H = High speed jet  
When test run at the factory, the high speed jet is set so that  
the engine satisfies the applicable legal requirements at the  
same time as achieving maximum performance. The  
carburettor’s high speed jet is then locked using a limiter cap  
in the fully screwed out position. The limiter cap limits the  
potential to adjust the high speed jet to at most half a turn.  
T = Idle adjustment screw  
H
T
CAUTION! There is an integrated speed governor in the  
ignition system that limits the maximum speed to 13600 rpm.  
The maximum speed will not exceed 13600 rpm when the  
high speed jet is adjusted (screwed in). When the speed  
governor is activated, you will get the same sound experience  
as when the chain saw 4-cycles.  
L
The T-screw regulates the throttle setting at idle speed. If  
the T-screw is turned clockwise this gives a higher idle  
speed; turning it anti-clockwise gives a lower idle speed.  
To adjust the carburettor correctly you should contact a  
mechanic with access to a rev counter.  
CAUTION! As the spark is cut off, the rev counter does not  
show speeds higher than 13600 rpm.  
Basic settings and running in  
The basic carburettor settings are adjusted during testing at  
the factory.The basic settings are H = 1 turn and L = 1 turn.  
To provide the engine’s components with good initial  
lubrication (during running in) the carburettor should be set for  
a richer fuel mixture for the first 3-4 hours that the chain saw  
is in use.To do this, adjust the fast idle speed to 600-700 rpm  
below the recommended maximum fast idle speed.  
Correctly adjusted carburettor  
When the carburettor is correctly adjusted the machine  
accelerates without hesitation and 4-cycles a little at full  
throttle. It is also important that the chain does not rotate at  
idle. If the L-jet is set too lean it may cause starting difficulties  
and poor acceleration. If the H-jet is set too lean the machine  
will have less power, poor acceleration and could suffer  
damage to the engine.  
If you are unable to check the fast idle speed using a  
tachometer the H-jet should not be set for a leaner mixture  
than given in the basic settings.The recommended maximum  
fast idle speed must not be exceeded. CAUTION! If the  
chain rotates while idling theT-screw must be turned anti-  
clockwise until the chain stops.

MAINTENANCE  
Fine adjustment  
High speed jet H  
When the machine has been ”run-in” the carburettor should  
be finely adjusted. The fine adjustment should be carried out  
by a qualified person. First adjust the L-jet, then the idling  
screw T and then the H-jet.  
The high speed jet H influences the power and engine  
speed of the machine. If the high speed jet is set too rich  
(H-jet screwed in too far) the machine will over-rev and  
this will damage the engine. Run the machine at full  
throttle for about 10 seconds.Then turn the H-jet 1/4 turn  
anti-clockwise. Run the machine at full throttle for another  
10 seconds or so and listen to the difference in the fast idle  
speed. Repeat this procedure with the H-jet turned a  
further 1/4 turn anti-clockwise.  
The recommended engine speeds are as follows:  
Max. fast idle speed, rpm Idle speed, rpm  
CS 2165  
CS 2171  
12500  
13500  
2700  
2700  
Conditions  
Before any adjustments are made the air filter should be  
clean and the cylinder cover fitted. Adjusting the  
carburettor while a dirty air filter is in use will result in a  
leaner mixture next time the filter is cleaned.This can give  
rise to serious engine damage.  
H
You have now run the machine at settings of H = 0, H=+1/  
4, H=+1/2 relative to the basic settings. At full throttle the  
engine has sounded different for each setting.The H-jet is  
correctly adjusted when the machine burbles a little. If the  
machine ”screams” then the machine is set too lean. If the  
muffler emits a lot of smoke and the machine burbles a lot  
then the setting is too rich. Turn the H-jet clockwise until  
the setting sounds right  
Carefully turn the L and H-jets clockwise as far as they will  
go. Now turn the jets one turn anti-clockwise. The  
carburettor is now set to H = 1 and L = 1.  
Now start the machine according to the starting  
instructions and let it warm up for 10 minutes. CAUTION!  
If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw must be  
turned anti-clockwise until the chain stops.  
Place the machine on a flat surface so that the bar points  
away from you and so that the bar and chain do not come  
into contact with the surface or other objects.  
CAUTION! To ensure correct adjustment you should enlist a  
qualified mechanic who has access to a tachometer. The  
recommended maximum fast idle speed must not be  
exceeded.  
Low speed jet L  
Correctly adjusted carburettor  
Try to find the highest idle speed by turning the low speed jet  
L clockwise then anti-clockwise.When the highest speed has  
been found, turn the low speed jet L 1/4 turn anti-clockwise.  
When the carburettor is correctly adjusted the machine  
accelerates without hesitation and 4-cycles a little at full  
throttle. It is also important that the chain does not rotate at  
idle. If the L-jet is set too lean it may cause starting difficulties  
and poor acceleration. If the H-jet is set too lean the machine  
will have less power, poor acceleration and could suffer  
damage to the engine.  
+ 1/4  
If both the L and H jets are set too rich it will results in  
acceleration problems or too low a working speed.  
L
CAUTION! If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw  
must be turned anti-clockwise until the chain stops.  
Fine adjustment of the idle speed T  
Adjust the idle speed using the idle adjustment screw T, if it is  
necessary to readjust. First turn the idle adjustment screw T  
clockwise until the cutting attachment starts to rotate. Then  
turn the screw anticlockwise until the cutting attachment  
stops. The idle speed is correctly adjusted when the engine  
will run smoothly in every position.The idle speed should also  
be well below the speed at which the cutting attachment starts  
to rotate.  
WARNING! Contact your servicing dealer, if  
the idle speed setting cannot be adjusted so  
that the chain stops. Do not use the chain  
saw until it has been properly adjusted or  
repaired.

MAINTENANCE  
Changing a broken recoil spring  
Starter  
WARNING! When the recoil spring is wound  
up in the starter housing it is under tension  
and can, if handled carelessly, pop out and  
cause personal injury. Always be careful  
when changing the recoil spring or the  
starter cord. Always wear protective  
goggles.  
!
Lift off the pulley. See instructions under heading  
Changing a broken or worn starter cord.  
Remove the recoil spring from inside the pulley by tapping  
the pulley lightly with its inside face downwards against a  
work bench or the like. If the spring pops out during fitting,  
wind it up again, working from the outside in towards  
centre.  
Changing a broken or worn starter cord  
Lubricate the recoil spring with light oil. Fit the pulley and  
tension the recoil spring.  
Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the  
crankcase and remove the starter.  
Fitting the starter  
Pull out the cord approx. 30 cm and hook it into the notch  
in the rim of the pulley. Release the recoil spring by letting  
the pulley rotate slowly backwards.  
To t the starter, first pull out the starter cord and place the  
starter in position against the crankcase. Then slowly  
release the starter cord so that the pulley engages with  
the pawls.  
Fit and tighten the screws that hold the starter.  
Undo the screw in the centre of the pulley and remove the  
pulley. Insert and fasten a new starter cord to the pulley.  
Wind approx. 3 turns of the starter cord onto the pulley.  
Connect the pulley to the recoil spring so that the end of  
the spring engages in the pulley. Fit the screw in the  
centre of the pulley. Insert the starter cord through the  
hole in the starter housing and the starter handle. Make a  
secure knot in the end of the starter cord.  
Air filter  
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt  
in order to avoid:  
Carburettor malfunctions  
Starting problems  
Loss of engine power  
Unnecessary wear to engine parts.  
Excessive fuel consumption.  
Clean the air filter daily, or more often in demanding  
conditions.  
Tensioning the recoil spring  
Hook the starter cord in the notch in the pulley and turn  
the starter pulley about 2 turns clockwise.  
Remove the air filter after taking off the air filter cover.  
When refitting make sure that the air filter seals tightly  
against the filter holder. Clean the filter by brushing or  
shaking it.  
CAUTION! Check that the pulley can be turned at least a  
further 1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all the way  
out.

MAINTENANCE  
The filter can be cleaned more thoroughly by washing it in  
water and detergent.  
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor  
mesh. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should  
clean the mesh at least once a week.This is best done with a  
wire brush.  
CAUTION! The mesh must be replaced if it is damaged. If the  
mesh is blocked the machine will overheat and this will cause  
damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a machine with  
a muffler that is in poor condition.  
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be  
cleaned completely.The filter must therefore be replaced with  
a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter must  
always be replaced.  
Needle bearing lubrication  
A JONSERED chain saw can be equipped with different types  
of air filter according to working conditions, weather, season,  
etc. Contact your dealer for advice.  
The clutch drum is fitted with one of the following drive  
sprockets:  
A Spur sprocket (the chain sprocket is welded on the  
drum)  
Spark plug  
B Rim sprocket (replaceable)  
The spark plug condition is influenced by:  
Incorrect carburettor adjustment.  
Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil).  
A dirty air filter.  
Both versions have a needle bearing on the drive shaft, which  
has to be greased regularly (once a week).  
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes,  
which may result in operating problems and starting  
difficulties.  
CAUTION! Use a high-quality bearing grease or engine oil.  
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs  
poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first  
before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty,  
clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm. The  
spark plug should be replaced after about a month in  
operation or earlier if necessary.  
Adjustment of the oil pump  
The oil pump is adjustable. Adjustments are made by turning  
the screw using a screwdriver or combination spanner. The  
machine is supplied from the factory set to 1 turn open.  
Turning the screw clockwise will reduce the oil flow and  
turning the screw anti-clockwise will increase the oil flow.  
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type!  
Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder.  
Muffler  
WARNING! The engine must not be running  
when making adjustments.  
!
The muffler is designed 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.  
Recommended settings:  
Bar -15":  
1 turn from the closed position.  
2 turns from the closed position.  
3 turns from the closed position.  
4 turns from the closed position.  
Bar 15" -18":  
Bar 18" -24":  
Bar 24" -:  
These recommendations apply to JONSERED chain oil, for  
other chain oils increase the oil flow by one step.

MAINTENANCE  
Cooling system  
Heated handles  
(CS 2171W)  
On models with the model code W, both the front handle bar  
and the rear handle are equipped with electrical heating coils.  
These are supplied with electricity from a generator built into  
the chain saw.  
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the  
machine is equipped with a cooling system.  
The cooling system consists of:  
1
2
3
4
5
Air intake on the starter.  
Air guide plate.  
Fins on the flywheel.  
Cooling fins on the cylinder.  
Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).

Electrical carburettor heating  
(CS 2171WH)  
This machine is equipped with an electronically controlled  
carburettor heater.  
2
Applications  
1
The carburettor heater is used in the following temperature  
range: 0ºC or colder. During high humidity, icing of the  
carburettor can occur earlier than specified.  
Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more  
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling  
system results in the machine overheating which causes  
damage to the piston and cylinder.  
The carburettor heater only heats the carburettor when the 3-  
way switch is set to position ”II”.  
Centrifugal cleaning “Turbo”  
Centrifugal cleaning means the following: All air to the  
carburettor passes through the starter. Dirt and dust is  
centrifuged out by the cooling fan.  
The switch is off in position ”0”, supplies current to the handle  
heater in position ”I”, supplies current to the carburettor in  
position ”II”.  
CAUTION! The carburettor heater reaches maximum  
temperature after about 3 minutes. It is therefore important  
that the machine is not run for longer with the heater switched  
on. If the switch is left on for too long the carburettor will  
overheat and lead to running problems or starting problems.  
IMPORTANT! In order to maintain operation of the centrifugal  
cleaning system it must be regularly maintained.  
Winter use  
During cold weather and under powder snow conditions,  
operating problems can arise due to:  
Clean the air intake to the starter, the fins on the flywheel,  
the space around the flywheel, inlet pipe and carburettor  
compartment.  
Too low engine temperature.  
Icing of the air filter and carburettor.  
Special measures are therefore often required:  
Partly mask the air inlet on the starter to increase the  
working temperature of the engine.  
IMPORTANT!  
Any maintenance other than that described in this manual  
must be carried out by your servicing dealer (retailer).
