be checked. See instructions under the heading  
Maintenance.  
Vibration damping system  
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping  
system that is designed to minimize vibration and make  
operation easier.  
Use of incorrectly wound cord or an incorrect cutting  
attachment increases the level of vibration. See  
instructions under the heading Cutting equipment.  
The machines vibration damping system reduces the  
transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting  
equipment and the machines handle unit.  
Stop switch  
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.  
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when  
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.  
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or  
deformation. Check that the vibration damping element is  
undamaged and securely attached.  
Cutting attachment guard  
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration  
can lead to circulatory damage or nerve  
This guard is intended to prevent loose objects from being  
thrown towards the operator. The guard also protects the  
operator from accidental contact with the cutting  
attachment.  
!
damage in people who have impaired  
circulation. 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.  
Quick release  
Check that the guard is undamaged and not cracked.  
Replace the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is  
cracked.  
There is an easily accessible, quick release fitted at the  
front as a safety precaution in case the engine catches  
fire, or in any other situation that requires you to free  
yourself from the machine and harness. See instructions  
under the heading Adjusting the harness and brush  
Always use the recommended guard for the cutting  
attachment you are using. See chapter on Technical data.  
WARNING! Never use a cutting  
attachment without an approved guard.  
!
See the chapter on Technical data. If an  
incorrect or faulty guard is fitted this can  
cause serious personal injury.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
cutter. Certain harnesses also have a quick release fitted  
to the support hook.  
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.  
Check that the harness straps are correctly positioned.  
Once the harness and machine have been adjusted,  
check that the harness quick release works correctly.  
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic  
converters get very hot during use and  
Muffler  
!
remain so for some time after stopping.  
This also applies at idle speed. Contact  
can result in burns to the skin.  
Remember the risk of fire!  
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum  
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user. A muffler  
fitted with a catalytic converter is also designed to reduce  
harmful exhaust gases.  
WARNING! The inside of the muffler  
contain chemicals that may be  
carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these  
elements in the event of a damaged  
muffler.  
!
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!  
In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a  
significant risk of fire.We therefore fit certain mufflers with  
a spark arrestor mesh. Check whether the muffler on your  
machine is fitted with this kind of mesh.  
Locking nut  
A locking nut is used to secure some types of cutting  
attachment.  
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.  
When fitting, tighten the nut in the opposite direction to the  
direction of rotation of the cutting attachment. To remove  
it, undo the nut in the same direction as the cutting  
attachment rotates. (CAUTION! The nut has a left-hand  
thread.)  
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.  
When loosening and tightening the saw blade nut, there is  
a risk of injury from the teeth of the saw blade.You should  
therefore always ensure that your hand is shielded by the  
blade guard when doing this. Always use a socket  
spanner with a shaft that is long enough to allow this.The  
arrow in the diagram shows the area where you should  
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to  
the machine.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
operate the socket spanner when loosening or tightening  
the nut.  
WARNING! Always stop the engine  
before doing any work on the cutting  
attachment.This continues to rotate even  
after the throttle has been released.  
Ensure that the cutting attachment has  
stopped completely and disconnect the  
HT lead from the spark plug before you  
start to work on it.  
!
WARNING! Using an incorrect cutting  
attachment or an incorrectly sharpened  
blade increases the risk of blade thrust.  
!
The nylon lining inside the locking nut must not be so worn  
that you can turn it by hand. The lining should offer a  
resistance of at least 1.5 Nm.The nut should be replaced  
after it has been put on approx. 10 times.  
Cutting equipment  
Saw blades are intended for cutting fibrous types of wood.  
Locking screw  
The lock screw must be tightened securely for ball-  
bearing-mounted support cups.  
Grass blades and grass cutters are intended for cutting  
coarse grass.  
A trimmer head is intended for trimming grass.  
Cutting equipment  
This section describes how to choose and maintain your  
cutting equipment in order to:  
Reduce the risk of blade thrust.  
Obtain maximum cutting performance.  
Extend the life of cutting equipment.  
General rules  
IMPORTANT!

instructions and use the recommended setting tool. An  
incorrectly set saw blade increases the risk of jamming  
and blade thrust, and damage to the saw blade.  
Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A  
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.  
Make sure that the blade is well supported when you  
file it. Use a 5.5 mm round file with a file holder.  
Sharpening grass cutters and grass  
blades  
The filing angle is 15°. File alternate teeth to the right  
and those in between to the left. If the blade has been  
heavily pitted by stones it may be necessary to dress  
the top edges of the teeth with a flat file, in exceptional  
cases. If so, this should be done before filing with a  
round file. The top edges must be filed down by the  
same amount for all the teeth.  
See the cutting attachment packaging for correct  
sharpening instructions. Sharpen blades and cutters  
using a single-cut flat file.  
Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of  
the blade.  
WARNING! Always discard a blade that is  
bent, twisted, cracked, broken or  
!
Adjust the blade setting. This should be 1 mm.  
damaged in any other way. Never attempt  
to straighten a twisted blade so that it  
can be reused. Only use original blades  
of the specified type.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Trimmer head  
IMPORTANT!  
Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and  
evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will  
generate harmful vibration.  
Only use the recommended trimmer heads and  
trimmer cords. These have been tested by the  
manufacturer to suit a particular engine size. This is  
especially important when a fully automatic trimmer  
head is used. Only use the recommended cutting  
attachment. See the chapter on Technical data.  
Smaller machines generally require small trimmer  
heads and vice versa. This is because when clearing  
using a cord the engine must throw out the cord  
radially from the trimmer head and overcome the  
resistance of the grass being cleared.  
The length of the cord is also important. A longer cord  
requires greater engine power than a shorter cord of  
the same diameter.  
Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is  
intact.This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.  
To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in  
water for a couple of days. This will make the line  
tougher so that it lasts longer.

use a good quality unleaded petrol/oil mixture. Leaded  
petrol will destroy the catalytic converter.  
Fuel safety  
Never start the machine:  
1
2
If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and  
allow remaining fuel to evaporate.  
Use low-emission petrol, also known as alkylate petrol, if  
it is available.  
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.  
Transport and storage  
Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there  
is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact  
with sparks or naked flames, for example, from  
electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/  
switches or boilers.  
The lowest octane recommended is 90 (RON). If you  
run the engine on a lower octane grade than 90 so-  
called knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high  
engine temperature, which can result in serious  
engine damage.  
When storing and transporting fuel always use  
approved containers intended for this purpose.  
When working at continuous high revs a higher octane  
rating is recommended.  
When storing the machine for long periods the fuel  
tank must be emptied. Contact your local petrol  
station to find out where to dispose of excess fuel.  
Two-stroke oil  
For best results and performance use JONSERED  
two-stroke engine oil, which is specially formulated for  
our air-cooled two-stroke engines.  
Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete  
service is carried out before long-term storage.  
The transport guard must always be fitted to the  
cutting attachment when the machine is being  
transported or in storage.  
Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled  
engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil (rated  
TCW).  
Secure the machine during transport.  
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.  
A poor oil quality and/or too high oil/fuel ratio may  
jeopardise function and decrease the life time of  
catalytic converters.  
WARNING!Take care when handling fuel.  
Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion  
and inhaling fumes.

Mixing ratio  
1:50 (2%) with JONSERED two-stroke oil.  
Fuel  
1:33 (3%) with oils class JASO FB or ISO EGB  
formulated for air-cooled, two-stroke engines.  
CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke  
engine and must always been run using a mixture of  
petrol and two-stroke oil. It is important to accurately  
measure the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the  
correct mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts  
of fuel, even small inaccuracies can drastically affect the  
ratio of the mixture.

FUEL HANDLING  
Fuelling  
Mixing  
Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container  
intended for fuel.  
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.  
WARNING! Taking the following  
precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:  
!
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling  
the machine’s fuel tank.  
Do not smoke or place hot objects near  
fuel.  
Always shut off the engine before  
refuelling.  
Always stop the engine and let it cool for  
a few minutes 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.  
Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a  
time.  
Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve.  
Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in  
the tank can cause operating problems.  
If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank  
should be emptied and cleaned.  
Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the  
container before filling the tank.

STARTING AND STOPPING  
Check before starting  
Starting and stopping  
Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed  
at the bottom of the teeth or by the centre hole. The  
most common reason why cracks are formed is that  
sharp corners have been formed at the bottom of the  
teeth while sharpening or that the blade has been  
used with dull teeth. Discard a blade if cracks are  
found.  
WARNING! The complete clutch cover  
and shaft must be fitted before the  
machine is started, otherwise the clutch  
can come loose and cause personal  
injury.  
!
Always move the machine away from the  
refuelling area before starting. Place the  
machine on a flat surface. Ensure the  
cutting attachment cannot come into  
contact with any object.  
Make sure no unauthorised persons are  
in the working area, otherwise there is a  
risk of serious personal injury.The safety  
distance is 15 metres.  
Check that the support flange is not cracked due to  
fatigue or due to being tightened too much. Discard  
the support flange if it is cracked.  
Cold engine  
Ignition: Set the stop switch to the start position.  
Choke: Set the choke control (A) in the choke position.  
Primer bulb: Press the air purge diaphragm (B)  
repeatedly until fuel begins to fill the diaphragm. The  
diaphragm need not be completely filled.  
Ensure the locking nut has not lost its captive force.  
The nut lock should have a locking force of at least 1.5  
Nm.The tightening torque of the locking nut should be  
35-50 Nm.  
Check that the blade guard is not damaged or  
cracked. Replace the blade guard if it is exposed to  
impact or is cracked.  
Check that the trimmer head and trimmer guard are not  
damaged or cracked. Replace the trimmer head or  
trimmer guard if they have been exposed to impact or are  
cracked.

personal injury.  
IMPORTANT!  
This section describes the basic safety precautions for  
working with brush cutters and trimmers.  
If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain  
how to proceed you should ask an expert. Contact your  
dealer or your service workshop.  
Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond your  
capability.  
You must understand the difference between forestry  
clearing, grass clearing and grass trimming before use.

Keep a good balance and a firm foothold.  
Always hold the machine with both hands. Hold the  
machine on the right side of your body.  
Basic safety rules  
1
Look around you:  
To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot  
affect your control of the machine.  
To ensure that people, animals, etc., do not come into  
contact with the cutting attachment or loose objects  
that are thrown out by the cutting attachment.  
CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are  
able to call for help in the event of an accident.  
2
Inspect the working area. Remove all loose objects,  
such as stones, broken glass, nails, steel wire, string,  
etc. that could be thrown out or become wrapped  
around the cutting attachment.  
8
9
Keep the cutting attachment below waist level.

4
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.  
Switch off the engine before moving to another area.  
Fit the transport guard before carrying or transporting  
the equipment any distance.  
10 Never put the machine down with the engine running  
unless you have it in clear sight.  
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.  
The ABC of clearing  
Always use the correct equipment.  
Make sure the equipment is well adjusted.  
Follow the safety precautions.  
Organise your work carefully.  
Always use full throttle when starting to cut with the  
blade.  
Always use sharp blades.  
Avoid stones.  
Control the felling direction (take advantage of the  
wind).

machine nor anyone else may attempt to  
remove the cut material while the engine  
is running or the cutting equipment is  
rotating, as this can result in serious  
injury.  
clearing a width of around 4-5 m on each pass. This  
exploits the full reach of the machine in both directions  
and gives the operator a convenient and varied  
working area to work in.  
!
!
Stop the engine and cutting equipment  
before you remove material that has  
wound around the blade shaft as  
otherwise there is a risk of injury.The  
bevel gear can get hot during use and may  
remain so for a while afterwards.You  
could get burnt if you touch it.  
WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.  
Always wear approved eye protection.  
Never lean over the cutting attachment  
guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be thrown  
up into the eyes causing blindness or  
serious injury.  
Clear a strip around 75 m long. Move your fuel can as  
work progresses.  
Keep unauthorised persons at a distance.  
Children, animals, onlookers and helpers  
should be kept outside the safety zone of  
15 m. Stop the machine immediately if  
anyone approaches. Never swing the  
machine around without first checking  
behind you to make sure no-one is within  
the safety zone.  
On sloping ground you should work along the slope. It  
is much easier to work along a slope than it is to work  
up and down it.  
You should plan the strip so that you avoid going over  
ditches or other obstacles on the ground.You should  
also orient the strip to take advantage of wind  
conditions, so that cleared stems fall in the cleared  
area of the stand.  
WARNING! Sometimes branches or  
grass get caught between the guard and  
cutting attachment. Always stop the  
engine before cleaning.  
!
Working methods  
WARNING! Machines fitted with saw  
blades or grass blades can be thrown  
violently to the side when the blade comes  
into contact with a fixed object.This is  
called blade thrust. A blade thrust can be  
violent enough to cause the machine and/  
or operator to be propelled in any  
direction, and possibly lose control of the  
machine. Blade thrust can occur without  
warning if the machine snags, stalls or  
binds. Blade thrust is more likely to occur  
in areas where it is difficult to see the  
material being cut.  
!
Forestry clearing using a saw blade  
The risk of blade thrust increases with increasing stem  
size.You should therefore avoid cutting with the area  
of the blade between 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock.  
Avoid cutting with the area of the blade  
between the 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock  
positions. Because of the speed of  
rotation of the blade, blade thrust can  
occur if you attempt to cut thick stems  
with this area of the blade.  
Before you start clearing, check the clearing area, the  
type of terrain, the slope of the ground, whether there  
are stones, hollows etc.  
Start at whichever end of the area is easiest, and clear  
an open space from which to work.

pushed to the right. Tilt the blade and bring it  
diagonally down to the right, exerting firm pressure. At  
the same time push the stem using the blade guard.  
Cut with the area of the blade between 3 o’clock and  
5 o’clock. Apply full throttle before advancing the  
blade.  
To fell to the right, the bottom of the tree should be  
pushed to the left.Tilt the blade and bring it diagonally  
up to the right. Cut with the area of the blade between  
3 o’clock and 5 o’clock so that the direction of rotation  
of the blade pushes the bottom of the tree to the left.  
If the stems are tightly packed, adapt your walking  
pace to suit.  
If the blade jams in a stem, never jerk the machine  
free. If you do this the blade, bevel gear, shaft or  
handlebar may be damaged. Release the handles,  
grip the shaft with both hands and gently pull the  
machine free.  
Brush cutting with a saw blade  
Thin stems and brush are mown down. Work with a  
sawing movement, swinging sideways.  
To fell a tree forwards, the bottom of the tree should be  
pulled backwards. Pull the blade backwards with a  
quick, firm movement.  
Try to cut several stems in a single sawing movement.  
With groups of hardwood stems, first clear around the  
group. Start by cutting the stems high up around the  
outside of the group to avoid jamming. Then cut the  
stems to the required height. Now try to reach in with  
the blade and cut from the centre of the group. If it is  
still difficult to gain access, cut the stems high up and  
let them fall. This will reduce the risk of jamming.  
Large stems must be cut from two sides. First  
determine which direction the stem will fall. Make the  
first cut on the felling side.Then finish cutting the stem  
from the other side. Adjust the cutting pressure to  
match the size of the stem and the hardness of the

can also damage sensitive bark on trees and bushes,  
and damage fence posts.  
Grass clearing using a grass blade  
Reduce the risk of damaging plants by shortening the  
cord to 10-12 cm and reducing the engine speed.  
Clearing  
Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on  
woody stems.  
A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse  
grass.  
The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging  
movement, where the movement from right-to-left is  
the clearing stroke and the movement from left-to-  
right is the return stroke. Let the left-hand side of the  
blade (between 8 and 12 o’clock) do the cutting.  
The clearing technique removes all unwanted  
vegetation. Keep the trimmer head just above the  
ground and tilt it. Let the end of the cord strike the  
ground around trees, posts, statues and the like.  
CAUTION! This technique increases the wear on the  
cord.  
The cord wears quicker and must be fed forward more  
often when working against stones, brick, concrete,  
metal fences, etc., than when coming into contact with  
trees and wooden fences.  
If the blade is angled to the left when clearing grass,  
the grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier to  
collect, e.g. by raking.  
Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet  
apart. Move forward after the return stroke and stand  
firmly again.  
When trimming and clearing you should use less than  
full throttle so that the cord lasts longer and to reduce  
the wear on the trimmer head.  
Cutting  
• The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difficult to  
Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It  
is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.  
Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade  
by following these instructions:  
reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the cord  
parallel to the ground when cutting.Avoid pressing the  
trimmer head against the ground as this can ruin the  
lawn and damage the tool.  
1Always work at full throttle.  
2Avoid the previously cut material during the return  
stroke.  
Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the  
machine on the ground before you start to collect the  
cut material.  
Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into  
contact with the ground during normal cutting.  
Constant contact of this type can cause damage and  
wear to the trimmer head.

MAINTENANCE  
CAUTION! If the cutting attachment rotates when the  
engine is idling the idle adjustment screw T should be  
turned anti-clockwise until the cutting attachment stops.  
Carburettor  
Your Jonsered product has been designed and  
manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful  
exhaust fumes.The engine will be run in after it has used  
8-10 tanks of fuel.To ensure that the engine runs at peak  
performance and produces as little harmful exhaust  
fumes as possible after the running-in period, ask your  
dealer/service workshop (which has a rev counter for this  
purpose) to adjust your carburettor.  
Adjustment of the idle speed  
Before any adjustments are made, make sure that the air  
filter is clean and the air filter cover is fitted.  
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.  
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.  
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:  
L = Low speed jet  
H = High speed jet  
Rec. idle speed: See the Technical data section.  
T = Idle adjustment screw  
WARNING! If the idle speed cannot be  
adjusted so that the cutting attachment  
!
stops, contact your dealer/service  
workshop. Do not use the machine until  
it has been correctly adjusted or  
repaired.  
Adjusting the start throttle speed (BC  
2145, CC 2145)  
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.  
The correct start throttle speed is set by means of an  
adjuster on the rear of the handle next to the cable. Use  
this screw (5 mm Allen screw) to increase or decrease the  
start throttle speed.  
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.  
Basic setting  
The basic carburettor settings are adjusted during  
testing at the factory. The basic setting is richer than  
the optimal setting and should be maintained for the  
first few hours the machine is in use. The carburettor  
should then be finely adjusted. Fine adjustment  
should be carried out by a skilled technician.

Press the start throttle lock as described under the  
heading Starting and stopping.  
Cooling system  
If the start throttle speed is too low (below 4000 rpm),  
turn the adjuster screw A clockwise until the cutting  
attachment starts to rotate. Then turn A clockwise a  
further 1/2 turn.  
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the  
machine is equipped with a cooling system.

If the start throttle speed is too high, turn the adjuster  
screw A anticlockwise until the cutting attachment  
stops. Then turn adjuster screw A clockwise a further  
1/2 turn.

Muffler  
3
CAUTION! Some mufflers are fitted with a catalytic  
converter. See chapter on Technical data to see whether  
your machine is fitted with a catalytic converter.  
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.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. On mufflers without a  
catalytic converter the mesh should be cleaned weekly, or  
replaced if necessary. On mufflers fitted with a catalytic  
converter the mesh should be checked, and if necessary  
cleaned, monthly. If the mesh is damaged it should be  
replaced. If the mesh is frequently blocked, this can be a  
sign that the performance of the catalytic converter is  
impaired. Contact your dealer to inspect the muffler. A  
blocked mesh will cause the machine to overheat and  
result in damage to the cylinder and piston.

The cooling system consists of:  
1
2
3
4
Air intake on the starter.  
Fins on the flywheel.  
Cooling fins on the cylinder.  
Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).  
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.  
Air filter  
CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muffler.  
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and  
dirt in order to avoid:  
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic  
converters get very hot during use and  
remain so for some time after stopping.  
This also applies at idle speed. Contact  
can result in burns to the skin.  
Carburettor malfunctions  
Starting problems  
!
Loss of engine power  
Unnecessary wear to engine parts.  
Excessive fuel consumption.  
Remember the risk of fire!  
Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more regularly if  
conditions are exceptionally dusty.

MAINTENANCE  
Cleaning the air filter  
Bevel gear  
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. Blow  
clean with compressed air.  
The bevel gear is filled with the right amount of grease at  
the factory. However, before using the machine you  
should check that the bevel gear is filled 3/4 full with  
grease. Use JONSERED special grease.  
The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to  
be changed except if repairs are carried out.  
An oiled foam plastic filter (available as an accessory)  
must be used if the machine is operated in extremely  
dusty conditions. See instructions under the heading  
Oiling the air filter.  
Drive shaft  
The drive shaft must be greased every three months  
during full-time use. Contact your dealer if you are  
uncertain about the procedure.  
Spark plug  
Oiling the air filter  
The spark plug condition is influenced by:  
Incorrect carburettor adjustment.  
An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of  
oil).  
Always use special filter oil. Filter oil contains a solvent to  
make it spread evenly through the filter.You should  
therefore avoid skin contact.  
A dirty air filter.  
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug  
electrodes, which may result in operating problems and  
starting difficulties.  
Put the filter in a plastic bag and pour the filter oil over it.  
Knead the plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the  
excess oil out of the filter inside the plastic bag and pour  
off the excess before fitting the filter to the machine.Never  
use common engine oil.This would drain through the filter  
quite quickly and collect in the bottom.  
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.  
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.  
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug  
type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/  
cylinder. Check that the spark plug is fitted with a  
suppressor.

MAINTENANCE  
Winter use  
Running problems can occur when using the machine in  
the cold and snowy conditions caused by:  
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.  
Preheat the intake air to the carburettor by using the  
heat from the cylinder.  
°
Temperature 5 C or colder:  
The air filter holder is prepared so it can be changed for  
use in the cold. Remove the air filter cover and air filter.  
Turn the winter cover anticlockwise using a screwdriver so  
that the preheated air from the engine can pass inside the  
carburettor compartment and prevent, for example, the air  
filter from icing up (see figure).  
For temperatures below 5°C and/or in snow conditions  
there is also:  
a special cover for the starter housing  
These reduce the cooling air and prevent large amounts  
of snow from being sucked into the engine.  
IMPORTANT! The machine MUST be returned to its  
standard design at temperatures warmer than 5°C .  
Otherwise there is a risk of overheating resulting in  
serious engine damage.
