• Make sure the chain will not makecontact with any object while startingthe engine. Never try to start the sawwhen the guide bar is in a cut.

• Do not put pressure on the saw, es-Pecially at the end of the cut. Doingso can cause you to lose controlwhen the cut is completed.

• Stop engine before setting saw down.• Hand carry saw only when engine is

stopped.Carry with muffler away frombody; guide bar & chain projecting be-hind you; guide bar preferably cov-ered w,th a scabbard.

Theresult is a lightningfast, reverse reactionwhich kicks the guide bar up and backtoward the operator.Pinch-Kickback and Pull-In occur whenthe chain is suddenly stopped by beingpinched, caught, or by contacting a for-eign object in the wood. This suddenstopping of the chain results in a rever-sal of the chain force used to cut woodand causes the saw to move In the op-posite direction of the chain rotation.Pinch-Kickback drives the saw stndghtback toward the operator.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: The chain will be movingduring most of this procedure. Wearyour protective equipment and observeall safety precautions. During the lowspeed mixture adjustment recheck idlespeed after each tum of the screw. Thechain must not move at idle speed.

Carburetor adjustment is c_ and ifdone improperly can permanently dam-age the engine as well as the carbure-tor. If you require further assistance orare unsure about performing this proce-dure, cell our customer assistance helpline at 1-800-235-5878.

Old fuel, a dirty air filter, dirty fuel filter,or flooding may give the impression ofan improperly adjusted carburetor.Check these conditions before adjust-ing the carburetor.The carburetor has been carefully sat atthe factory.Adjustments may be neces-sary if you notice any of the followingconditions:

Start motor, let it run for 3 minutes, andproceed tothe adjustment esc_on. Ifengine does not start, refer to tmuble-shooUngcha.,tor call 1-800-235-5878.If engine performance is acceptable atthe preset positionsand there is nochain movement at idle, no further ad-justment is necessary.

ADJUSTING PROCEDURE

Idle Spasd-TAllow engine to idle. Adjustspeed untilengine runswithout chain movement orstalling.• Turn clock'_.sa to increase engine

speed if engine stalls or dies.• Turn counterclockwiseto decrease

speed.No further adjustments are necessary ifchmn does not move at idle speed andif performance is satisfactory.

Low Speed Mixture-LAllow engine to idle. Then acceleratethe engine and note performance. If en-gine hesitates, bogs down, or smokesduring acceleration, tum mixture screwclockwise in 1/16-tum increments untilperformance.i_ satisfactory.Repeat thisprocedure as necessary for proper ad-justment. After completingcheck for acceleration and chainment at idle. Reset if necessary.

• Chain moves at idle. See "Idle Speed" High Speed Mixture-Hunder adjusting procedure.

• Saw will not idle. See "Idle Speed"and "LowSpeed Mixture"under ad-justingprocedure.

• Engine dies or hesitates when itshould accelerate. See "AccelerationCheck" under adjusting procedure.

• Loss of cutting power. See "HighSpeed_lixture H• under adjustingprocedure.

There are three adjustment screws onthe carburetor. They am labeled H, L,

" and T. They ere located in the area justabove the primer bulb.

CARBURETOR PRESETS+

When making adjustments, do not forcethe plastic limlter caps beyond thestops or damage will occur.if carburetor presets are not needed,proceed to "idle Spoed-T."• Turn both mixture screws cpunter-
