During Operation - Stihl HT-KM Manual De Instrucciones

Important Adjustments
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury from
loss of control or contact with the
running cutting tool, do not use your unit
with incorrect idle adjustment. At correct
idle speed, the saw chain should not
move. For directions on how to adjust
idle speed, see the appropriate section
of your KombiEngine instruction
manual.
If you cannot set the correct idle speed,
have your STIHL dealer check your
power tool and make proper
adjustments and repairs.
Proper chain tension is very important at
all times. Check it at regular intervals
(whenever the pole pruner is shut off). If
the chain becomes loose while cutting,
switch off the engine and then tighten.
Never try to tighten the chain while the
engine is running.
