CHAIN SAW SAFETY EQUIPMENT  
This section explains the various safety features of the saw,  
how they work, and basic inspection and maintenance you  
should carry out to ensure safe operation. (See the ”What is  
what?” section to find out where these components are on Your  
saw).  
MOST CHAIN SAW ACCIDENTS HAPPEN  
WHEN THE CHAIN TOUCHES THE OPERA-  
TOR. You must wear approved safety  
equipment whenever you use a chain saw.  
Personal safety equipment cannot eliminate  
the risk of injury but it will reduce the degree  
of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your  
chain saw dealer for help in choosing the right  
equipment.  
NEVER USE A CHAIN SAW THAT HAS  
FAULTY SAFETY EQUIPMENT! Carry out the  
inspection, maintenance and service routines  
listed in this section.

3a Starting  
1 Chain brake and front hand guard  
The chain brake should be  
activated when starting.  
YOUR chain saw is equipped with a chain brake that is desig-  
ned to stop the chain immediately if you get a kickback.  
The chain brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only You can  
prevent them.

You can also use the  
chain brake as a

temporary brake when you  
change position or if you  
put the saw down for a  
short time. You should  
also apply the chain brake  
manually if there is a risk  
of the chain accidentally  
hitting anyone or anything  
close by.  
1
The chain brake (A) can  
either be activated  
manually (by your left  
hand) or automatically by  
the inertia release  
B
mechanism (a free-  
swinging pendulum). On  
most of our models the  
front hand guard acts as a  
counterweight in case of  
kickback.  
A
B
The brake is applied  
when the front hand  
guard (B) is pushed  
forwards.

To release the chain brake  
pull the front hand guard  
backwards, towards the  
front handle.  
This movement activates  
a spring-loaded  
mechanism that tightens  
the Brake Band (C)  
around the engine drive  
system (D) (Clutch Drum).

As mentioned in section A,  
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.  
D

The front hand guard is  
not designed solely to  
activate the chain brake.  
Another important safety  
feature is that it prevents  
the chain from hitting your  
left hand if you lose your  
grip on the front handle.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The way the chain brake is triggered, either manually or  
2 Throttle lock  
automatically, 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 throttle lock is designed  
to prevent accidental opera-  
tion of the throttle control.  
When you press the lock (A)  
(i.e. when you grasp the  
handle) it releases the throttle  
trigger (B).  
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).  
A
When you release the handle  
the throttle trigger 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  
B
automatically locked at the  
idle setting when you release  
the handle.  
3 Chain catcher  
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 section on  
”Assembly”) and if the bar and  
chain are properly serviced  
and maintained.  
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.  
(See section on ”General  
workinginstructions”).  
4 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.  
7
During felling your left  
hand grasps the front  
handle in such a way that  
it cannot activate the front  
hand guard. In this  
position the chain brake  
can only be activated by  
the inertia action of the  
counterweight.  
The inertia activated  
chain brake increases  
your safety but there are  
certain factors to  
remember (see point 6  
above).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
5 Vibration damping system  
6 Stop switch  
Use the stop switch to switch  
off the engine.  
Your chain saw is equipped  
with a vibration damping  
system that is designed to  
minimise vibrations and make  
operation easier.  
When you use a chain saw  
vibrations are generated by  
the uneven contact between  
the chain and the wood you  
are cutting.  
Cutting hardwoods (most  
broadleaf trees) creates more  
vibration than cutting  
softwoods (most conifers).  
Cutting with a chain that is  
blunt or faulty (wrong type or  
badly sharpened, see section  
D) will increase the vibration  
level.  
7 Muffler  
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and  
to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.  
The vibration damping system  
reduces the vibrations  
The exhaust fumes from the engine are very  
hot and may contain sparks which can start a  
fire. Never start the saw indoors or near  
combustible material!  
transmitted from the engine  
and chain to the handles of  
the chain saw. The body of  
the saw, including the cutting  
equipment, is insulated from  
the handles by vibration  
damping units.  
In areas with a hot, dry  
climate there is a high risk of  
forest 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.  
Overexposure to vibration can lead to  
circulatory damage or nerve damage in people  
who have impaired circulation.  
Contact your doctor if you experience  
symptoms of overexposure to vibration.  
These 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.  
For mufflers it is very  
important that you follow the  
instructions on checking,  
maintaining and servicing your  
saw (see the section on  
”Inspecting, maintaining and  
servicing chain saw safety  
equipment”).  
The muffler gets very hot in use and remains  
so for a short time afterwards. DO NOT  
TOUCH THE MUFFLER IF IT IS HOT!  
WARNING!  
The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot  
during and after use. This also applies during  
idling. Be aware of the fire hazard, especially  
when handling the saw near flammable  
substances or vapours.

Reduce the risk of kickback.  
Reduce the risk of the chain breaking or jumping.  
Obtain maximum cutting performance.  
Extend the life of cutting equipment.  
The 5 basic rules  
1
Only use cutting  
equipment  
recommended by us!  
See the ”Technical data”  
section.  
Regularly check that the  
muffler is securely  
attached to the chain saw.  
2
Keep the chain cutting  
teeth properly  
If the muffler on your saw  
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.  
sharpened! Follow our  
instructions and use the  
recommended file  
gauge. A damaged or  
badly sharpened chain  
increases the risk of  
accidents.  
Never use a muffler if  
the spark arrestor mesh  
is missing or defective.  
3
Maintain the correct  
raker clearance! Follow  
our instructions and  
use the recommended  
raker gauge. Too large a  
clearance increases the  
risk of kickback.  
NEVER USE A CHAIN SAW WITH FAULTY  
SAFETY EQUIPMENT. CARRY OUT THE  
CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE MEASURES  
DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. IF YOUR  
CHAIN SAW FAILS ANY OF THESE CHECKS  
CONTACT YOUR SERVICE AGENT TO GET IT  
REPAIRED.  
4
Keep the chain properly  
tesioned! If the chain is  
slack it is more likely to  
jump off and lead to  
increased wear on the  
bar, chain and drive  
sprocket.  
5
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.

performance from your chain.  
A 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, just wood powder.  
The following faults will increase the risk of  
kickback considerably.  
A sharp chain eats its way  
through the wood and  
produces long, thick  
cuttings.

When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are five important  
factors to remember.  
To sharpen cutting teeth you

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
C General advice on setting raker clearance  
D Setting the raker clearance  
When you sharpen the  
cutting teeth you reduce the  
RAKER CLEARANCE  
(cutting depth). To maintain  
cutting performance you  
must file back the raker  
teeth to the recommended  
height.  
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.  
See the ”Technical data”  
section to find the raker  
clearance for your saw  
chain.  
To adjust the raker  
clearance you will need a  
FLAT FILE and a RAKER  
GAUGE.  
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.  
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.  
We recommend the use of a  
raker gauge to achieve the  
correct clearance and bevel  
on the raker lip.  
The risk of kickback is increased if the raker  
clearance is too large!  
3 Tensioning the chain  
A slack chain may jump off and cause serious  
or even fatal injury.  
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 saw chain has a running-in period during which  
you should check the tension more frequently.  
Tension the chain as tightly  
as possible, but not so tight  
that you cannot pull it round  
freely by hand.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
4 Lubricating cutting equipment  
Poor lubrication of cutting equipment may  
cause the chain to snap and lead to serious,  
even fatal injuries.

2
Undo the bar nuts that  
hold the clutch cover and  
chain brake, using the  
combination spanner.  
Then tighten the nuts by  
hand as tight as you can.  
A
Chain oil  
Chainsaw chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the  
chain and also maintain its flow caracteristics regardless of  
whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather.  
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  
not hang slack on the  
underside of the bar.  
As a chainsaw manufacturer we have developed an optimal  
chain oil which has a vegetable oil base. 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.  
3
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 is not  
slack on the bottom of the  
bar.  
Never use waste oil!  
This is dangerous for yourself, the saw and the environment.  
B
Filling with chain oil  
All our chain saws have an  
automatic chain lubrication  
system. On some models  
the oil flow is also

model to model. See the” What is what” section to find out  
where it is on your saw.  
adjustable.  
The sizes of the chain oil  
tank and fuel tank have  
been chosen so that the  
saw will run out of fuel  
before running out of oil.  
This means that you should  
never run with a dry chain.  
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 carburetor as  
recommended (a weak  
mixture may mean that the  
fuel lasts longer than the  
oil). You should also use the  
recommended cutting  
equipment (a bar that is too  
long will use more chain oil).  
The above conditions also  
apply to models with an  
adjustable oil pump.

HOW TOAVOID KICKBACK  
Kickback can happen very suddenly and  
violently; kicking the 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.  
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 happens when the upper  
quadrant of the tip of the bar  
(known as the kickback zone)  
touches an object and the  
saw is kicked backwards.  
Whether the groove in the  
bar has become badly worn.  
Replace the bar if  
necessary.  
Whether the tip of the bar is  
uneven or badly worn. If a  
hollow forms on one side of  
the bar tip this is due to a  
slack chain.  
Kickback always occurs in  
the cutting plane of the saw.  
Normally the saw and bar are  
thrown backwards and  
upwards towards the user.  
However the 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.  
To prolong the life of the bar  
you should turn it over daily.  
MOST CHAIN SAW ACCIDENTS HAPPEN  
WHEN THE CHAIN TOUCHES THE OPERA-  
TOR.  
Kickback only occurs if the  
kickback zone of the bar  
touches an object.  
WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT  
(see the section on Chain saw safety  
equipment).  
DO NOT TACKLE ANY JOB YOU ARE UNSURE OF  
(see the section on Personal protective  
equipment, How to avoid kickback, General  
working instructionsand Cutting equipment).  
AVOID SITUATIONS WHERE THERE IS A RISK OF  
KICKBACK (see the section on Personal  
protective equipment).  
USE THE RECOMMENDED SAFETY EQUIPMENT  
AND CHECK ITS CONDITION (see section on  
General working instructions).  
CHECK THAT ALL SAFETY FUNCTIONS ARE  
WORKING (see section on General working  
instructionsand General precautions).

minimises the effect of  
kickback and lets you  
keep the saw under  
control.  
Do not let go of the  
handles!  
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.  
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.  
In this case the saw pulls  
itself towards the tree and  
the front edge of the saw  
provides a natural rest  
when cutting. Cutting on  
the pull stroke gives you  
better control over the  
saw and the position of  
the kickback zone.  
Lack of concentration can  
lead to kickback if the  
kickback zone of the bar  
accidentally touches a  
branch, nearby tree or  
some other object.  
4
Never use the saw above  
shoulder height and try  
not to cut with the tip of  
the bar.  
8
Follow the instructions on sharpening and maintaining your  
bar and chain. When you replace the bar and chain use  
only combinations that are recommended by us. See the  
sections on ”Cutting equipment” and ”Technical data”.  
Never use the saw one-  
handed!  
The risk of kickback is increased if you use  
the wrong cutting equipment or a chain that is  
not sharpened correctly. The wrong  
combination of bar and chain can increase the  
risk of kickback!  
5
In order to keep control of  
your saw, always  
maintain a firm foothold.  
Never work on a ladder,  
in a tree or on any other  
insecure support.  
6
Always use a fast cutting speed, i.e. full throttle.

FUEL SAFETY  
(Refuelling, fuel mixture, storage.)  
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
1
Chain saws are designed solely for cutting wood. The only  
cutting equipment that can be used with this chain saw are  
the combinations of bars and chains recommended in the  
”Technical data” section.  
WARNING!  
The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot  
during and after use. This also applies during  
idling. Be aware of the fire hazard, especially  
when handling the saw near flammable  
substances or vapours.  
2
Never use a chain saw if  
you are tired, if you have  
drunk alcohol, or if you  
are taking medication that  
affects your vision, your  
judgement or your co-  
ordination.  
Fuel and fuel vapour are highly inflammable.  
Take care when handling fuel and chain oil.  
Keep away from naked flames and do not  
breathe in fuel vapour.

4
Always wear suitable safety clothing. See the section on  
”Personal protective equipment”.  
Never try to refuel the saw  
while it is running.  
Never use a chain saw that has been modified in any way  
from its original specification.  
Make sure there is plenty of  
ventilation when refuelling  
or mixing fuel (2-stroke  
mixture).

Do not use the saw in bad weather, such as dense fog,  
heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in cold  
weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as icy  
ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc.  
Take great care when removing small branches and avoid  
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.

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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Two factors decide whether the chain will jam or the log will  
split. The first is how the log is supported and the second is  
whether it is in tension.  
2 Basic cutting technique  
General  
Always use full throttle when cutting!  
In most cases you can avoid these problems by cutting in two  
stages; from the top and from the bottom of the log. You need  
to support the log so that it will not trap the chain or split during  
cutting.  
Reduce the speed to idle after every cut (running the  
engine for too long at full throttle without any load can lead to  
serious engine damage).  
Cutting from above = Cutting on the pull stroke.  
Cutting from below = Cutting on the push stroke.  
If the chain jams in the cut:  
STOP THE ENGINE! Dont try to pull the saw  
free. If you do you may damage the chain  
when the saw suddenly breaks free. Use a  
lever to open up the cut and free the bar.  
See the section on ”How to avoid kickback” to find out why  
cutting on the push stroke increases the risk of kickback.

2 The log is supported at one  
end. There is a high risk  
that it will split.  
3 Tree felling technique  
It takes a lot of experience to fell a tree.  
Inexperienced users of chain saws should not  
fell trees. NEVER ATTEMPT A TASK YOU ARE  
UNSURE OF.  
A
Safe distance  
A Start by cutting from  
below (about 1/3 of the  
way through).  
The safe distance between a tree that is to be felled and  
anyone else working nearby is at least 21/2 tree lengths.  
Make sure that no-one else is in this risk zonebefore or during  
felling.  
B Finish by cutting from  
above so that the two  
cuts meet.  
3 The log is supported at both  
ends. There is a high risk  
that the chain will jam.  
B
Felling direction  
The aim is to fell the tree in the best possible position for  
subsequent limbing and cross-cutting. You want it to fall on  
ground where you can move about safely.  
The main point to avoid is  
letting the tree fall onto  
another tree. It can be both  
difficult and dangerous to  
remove a tree in such a  
position (see point 4 in this  
section).  
A Start by cutting from  
above (about 1/3 of the  
way through).  
Once you have decided which  
way you want the tree to fall  
you must judge which way the  
tree would fall naturally.  
B Finish by cutting from  
below so that the two  
cuts meet.  
Several factors affect this:  
Lean of the tree  
Bend  
Limbing  
Wind direction  
When limbing thick branches  
you should use the same  
approach as for cutting.  
Cut difficult branches piece by  
piece.  
2
1
Arrangement of branches  
Weight of snow  
3
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.  
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.  
During critical felling operations, hearing  
protectors should be lifted immediately when  
sawing is completed so that sounds and  
warning signals can be heard.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
C Clearing the trunk and preparing your retreat  
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 with the bottom edge of the bar.  
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.  
Make the FELLING CUT  
about 3-5 cm (1.5-2 inches)  
above the flat section of the  
DIRECTIONAL CUT.  
Use full throttle and bring the  
bar and chain 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 BREA-  
KING BAR into the cut as  
soon as it is deep enough.  
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 behind the intended  
felling direction.  
Finish the FELLING CUT  
parallel with the  
DIRECTIONAL CUT LINE so  
that the distance between  
them is at least at least 1/10  
of the trunk diameter. The  
uncut section of the trunk is  
called the HINGE.  
D Felling  
Felling is done using three cuts. First you make the  
DIRECTIONAL CUTS, which consist of the TOP CUT and the  
BOTTOM CUT; followed by the FELLING CUT. By placing  
these cuts correctly you can control the felling direction very  
accurately.  
The HINGE act as hinges that  
control the felling direction of  
the falling tree.  
DIRECTIONAL CUT  
To make the DIRECTIONAL  
CUT you begin with the TOP  
CUT. Stand to the right of the  
tree and cut downwards at an  
angle.  
All control over the felling  
direction is lost if the HINGE is  
too narrow or if the directional  
cut and felling cut are badly  
placed.  
Next make the BOTTOM CUT  
so that it finishes at the end of  
the TOP CUT.  
The directional cut should run  
1/4 of the diameter through  
the trunk and the angle  
between the TOP CUT and  
BOTTOM CUT should be 45°.  
When the felling cut and  
directional cut are complete  
the tree should start to fall  
under its own weight or with  
the aid of a FELLING WEDGE  
or BREAKING BAR.  
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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
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 CUT  
with single cutting stokes.  
(See ”Technical data” to find  
out which lengths of bar are  
recommended for your saw).  
4 Freeing a tree that has fallen badly = high  
accident risk  
A
Freeing a “Trapped tree”  
The safest method is to use a winch.  
A
Tractor-mounted  
B
Portable  
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.  
B
Cutting trees and branches that are in tension  
Preparations:  
a) Work out which way the tree or branch will move if released  
and where the natural “BREAKING POINT” is (i.e. the place  
it would break if it was bent even more).  
UNLESS YOU HAVE SPECIAL TRAINING WE  
ADVISE YOU NOT TO FELL TREES WITH A  
DIAMETER LARGER THAN THE BAR LENGTH  
OF YOUR SAW!  
E
Limbing  
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 there are no  
obstacles in your way. Work  
on the left side of the trunk.  
Work close to the saw for  
maximum control. If possible,  
let the weight of the saw rest  
on the trunk.  
b) 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:  
a) Position yourself so that  
you will be clear of the  
tree or branch when it  
springs free.  
Keep the tree between you  
and the saw as you move  
along the trunk.  
b) Make one or more cuts at  
or near the BREAKING  
POINT. Make as many  
cuts of sufficient depth as  
necessary to reduce the  
tension and make the tree  
or branch break at the  
BREAKING POINT.  
F Cutting the trunk into logs  
See chapter ”General working instructions” point 2 ”Basic  
cutting technique”.  
Never cut straight  
through a tree or branch  
that is in tension!

FUEL HANDLING  
Mixing  
Fuelmix  
Always mix the gasoline  
and oil in a clean container  
intended for fuel.  
IMPORTANT! The chain saw is equipped with a two-stroke  
engine and must always been run using a mixture of gasoline  
and two-stroke engine 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.  
Always start by filling half  
the amount of the gasoline

Petrol  
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.  
Always use high grade unleaded petrol (minimum octane rating

characteristics.  
Do not smoke or place warm objects in the vicinity of  
the fuel.  
In countries where no  
special chain oil is available,  
EP 90 transmission oil can  
be used.  
Always shut off the engine before refuelling.  
Slowly open the fuel cap, when filling fuel, so that  
possible overpressure is slowly released.  
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after fuelling.  
Always move the saw from the fuelling area before  
starting.  
Never use waste oil. This  
results in damage to the oil  
pump, the bar and the  
chain.  
WARNING!  
The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot  
during and after use. This also applies during  
idling. Be aware of the fire hazard, especially  
when handling the saw near flammable  
substances or vapours.  
It is important to use oil of  
the right viscosity according  
to the air temperature.  
In temperatures below 0oC  
(32oF) some oils become  
too viscous. This can  
overload the oil pump and  
result in damage to the oil  
pump components.  
Clean around the fuel cap.  
Clean the fuel and chain oil  
tanks regularly. The fuel filter  
should be changed at least  
once a year. Contamination in  
the fuel tanks causes  
malfunction. Make sure the  
fuel is well mixed by shaking  
the container before fuelling.  
The volume of chain oil and  
fuel tanks are adjusted to  
each other. Therefore, always  
fill chain oil and fuel at the  
same time.  
Contact your servicing  
dealer when choosing chain  
oil.

MAINTENANCE  
Conditions  
Carburetor  
Before any adjustments are made the air filter should be  
clean and the cylinder cowling fitted. Adjusting the carburetor  
while a dirty air filter is in use will result in a leaner mixture  
when the filter is finally cleaned. This can give rise to serious  
engine damage.  
Your Jonsered product has been designed and manufactured to  
specifications that reduce harmful emissions.  
After your unit has been run 8-10 tanks of fuel the engine has  
broken in. To ensure that your unit is at peak performance and  
producing the least amount of harmful emissions after break in,  
have your authorized servicing dealer, who has a revolution  
counter at his disposal, to adjust your carburetor for optimum  
operating conditions.  
Carefully turn the L and H needle to the mid point.  
Do not attempt to adjust the needles beyond the stops as  
damage can occur.  
Now start the saw according to the starting instructions and  
run it warm for 10 minutes.  
Functioning, Basic setting, Final setting  
NOTE! If the chain rotates the T screw should be turned  
counter-clockwise until the chain stops.  
WARNING! Do not start the saw without the  
bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake)  
assembled. If you do, the clutch might come  
loose and cause severe injuries.  
Place the saw 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.  
Low speed needle L  
Operation  
Turn the low speed needle L clockwise until the stop. If the  
engine has bad acceleration or erratic idling, turn the L needle  
counter-clockwise until good idling and acceleration.  
The carburetor governs the engine speed via the throttle. Air/  
fuel are mixed in the carburetor. The air/fuel mixture is  
adjustable. To take advantage of the engines optimal output  
the setting must be correct.  
NOTE! If the chain rotates in the idling position, turn the  
idling speed screw counter-clockwise until the chain stops.  
The satisfactory operation of a catalytic converter  
depends, among other factors, on the correct adjustment  
of the carburettor. Follow carefully the instructions below.  
The setting of the carburetor means that the engine is adapted  
to local conditions, for example, the climate, altitude, fuel and  
the type of 2-stroke oil.  
Final setting of the idling speed T  
Adjust the idling speed with the screw T. If it is necessary to re-  
adjust, first turn the idle speed adjusting screw T clockwise, until  
the chain starts to rotate. Then turn, counter-clockwise until the  
chain stops. A correctly adjusted idle speed setting occurs  
when the engine runs smoothly in every position. It should also  
be good margin to the rpm when the chain starts to rotate.  
L
H
The carburetor has three  
adjustment possibilities:  
T
L = Low speed jet.  
H = High speed jet.  
T = Adjustment screw for  
idling.  
Contact your servicing dealer, if the idle speed  
setting cannot be adjusted so that the chain  
stops. Do not use the saw until it has been  
properly adjusted or repaired.  
H
The fuel quantity required in relation to the air flow, provided  
by opening the throttle, is adjusted by the L and H-jets. If they  
are screwed clockwise the air/fuel ratio becomes leaner (less  
fuel) and if they are turned counter-clockwise the ratio  
becomes richer (more fuel). A leaner mixture gives a higher  
engine speed and a richer mixture give a lower engine speed.  
The T screw regulates the idling speed. If the screw T is  
turned clockwise this gives a higher idling speed; counter-  
clockwise a lower idling speed.  
High speed needle H  
The high speed needle H  
influences the power of the  
saw. A too lean adjusted high  
speed needle H (high speed  
needle H closed too much)  
gives overrevs and damages  
the engine. Turn the high  
speed needle H counter-  
clockwise until the stop. If the  
engine runs roughly, turn the  
high speed needle slowly the  
minimum amount clockwise  
until the engine runs smoothly.  
WARNING! The catalytic converter muffler  
gets very hot during and after use. This also  
applies during idling. Be aware of the fire  
hazard, especially when handling the saw  
near flammable substances or vapours.  
H
The high speed needle H is correctly set when the saw 4-  
cyclesa little. If the saw whistlesthe setting is too lean. If  
there is too much exhaust gas at the same time as the saw 4-  
cyclesmuch, the setting is too rich. Turn the high speed needle  
H until the setting sounds correct. NOTE! For optimum setting  
of the carburetor, contact a qualified servicing dealer who  
has a revolution counter at his disposal.  
Basic setting and running in  
The carburetor is set to its basic setting when test run at the  
factory. The basic setting is richer than the optimal setting and  
should be kept during the machines first working hours.  
Thereafter the carburetor should be finely adjusted. Fine  
adjustment should be carried out by a skilled technician.  
NOTE! If the chain rotates while idling the T screw should be  
adjusted counter-clockwise until it stops.  
Correctly adjusted carburetor  
Recommended idling speed: 2 700 rpm.  
A correctly adjusted carburetor means that the saw accelerates  
without hesitation and the saw 4-cycles a little at max speed.  
Furthermore, the chain must not rotate at idling. A too lean  
adjusted low speed needle L may cause starting difficulties and  
bad acceleration. A too lean adjusted high speed needle H  
gives lower power=less capacity, bad acceleration and/or  
damage to the engine. A too rich adjustment of the two speed  
needles L and H gives acceleration problems or too low working  
speed.  
Contact your servicing dealer, if the idle speed  
setting cannot be adjusted so that the chain  
stops. Do not use the saw until it has been  
properly adjusted or repaired.  
Fine adjustment  
When the saw has been run-inthe carburetor should be  
finely adjusted. The fine adjustment should be carried out  
by qualified person. First adjust the L-jet, then the idling  
screw T and then the H-jet.

MAINTENANCE  
Muffler  
Air filter  
The air filter must be regularly cleaned from dust and dirt in  
order to avoid:  
Carburetor malfunctions  
Starting problems  
Engine power reduction  
Unnecessary wear on  
the engine parts  
Abnormal fuel consumption  
The muffler is designed in  
order to reduce the noise level  
and to direct the exhaust  
gases away from the operator.  
The exhaust gases are hot  
and can contain sparks, which  
may cause fire if directed  
against dry and combustible  
material. Some mufflers are  
equipped with a special  
screen.  
Clean the air filter daily or  
more often if the air is  
exceptionally dusty in the  
working area.  
If your saw has this type of muffler, you should clean the screen  
at least once a week. This is done with a wire brush.  
Disassemble the air filter by  
removing the cylinder cover  
and unscrew the filter.  
When reassembling, make  
sure that the filter is tight  
against the filter holder.  
Clean the filter by brushing  
or shaking it.  
CAUTION! The screen must be replaced, if damaged. The saw  
will be overheated, if the screen is clogged. This results in  
damage on the cylinder and the piston. Never use a saw with a  
clogged or defective muffler.  
A muffler fitted with a catalytic converter reduces the concent-  
ration of hydrocarbons (HC), oxides of nitrogen (NO) and  
aldehydes emitted with exhaust gases. However, it does not cut  
down carbon monoxide (CO), which you cannot smell! Do not  
run a chain saw in an unventilated area.  
A more thorough cleaning of  
the filter is obtained by  
washing it in water and  
soap.  
WARNING!  
An air filter, which is used for  
some time, cannot be cleaned  
completely. Therefore it must  
be replaced by a new one,  
with regular intervals.  
IMPORTANT! A damaged air  
filter must always be

Winter use  
During winter time, snow and cold weather can cause running  
problems, such as:  
• Too low engine temperature.  
• Icing of the air filter and freezing of the carburetor.  
To obtain the lowest possible running temperature the saw is  
equipped with a cooling system.

winter flap so that preheated  
air from the cylinder can pass  
into the carburetor area  
preventing for instance icing  
of the air filter.  
Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more often  
in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling system  
results in the saw overheating which causes damage to  
piston and cylinder. NOTE! The cooling system of chain  
saws that are fitted with a catalytic converter must be  
cleaned daily. This is particularly important on saws with  
catalytic converters, because the higher working tempera-  
ture of the exhaust demands efficient cooling of the engine  
and the catalytic converter unit.
