Maintaining The Spark Plug - Senix CSP4QL-L Manual Del Operador

WARNING:
The cutting attachment should never turn at idle. Turn
the idle speed screw counterclockwise to reduce the
idle RPM and stop the cutting attachment, or contact
customer support for adjustment and discontinue use
until the repair is made. Serious personal injury could
result from the cutting attachment turning at idle.
WARNING:
The cutting head will move when adjusting the idle
speed. Wear all protective clothing and keep all
bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft. away. Make
adjustments with the unit supported by hand so that the
cutting head does not contact the ground or any object.
Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting head
and muffler. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious personal injury.
If the engine will not idle properly:
1. Start the engine.
2. Release the throttle control and let the engine idle.
• If the engine stops, increase the idle speed. Use a
small Phillips screwdriver to turn the idle speed screw
clockwise, 1/8 of a turn at a time, until the engine
idles smoothly.
• If the cutting head spins when the engine idles,
reduce the idle speed. Turn the idle speed screw
counterclockwise, 1/8 of a turn at a time, until the
cutting head stops moving
