equipment and observe all safety precautions.
The chain must not move at idle speed.
Indications for idle speed adjustment
The carburetor has been carefully set at the factory.

following conditions:
The chain moves at idle. See IDLE SPEED-T
·
ADJUSTMENT procedure.
The saw will not idle. See IDLE SPEED-T ADJUSTMENT

procedure.
Idle speed-T adjustment
Allow the engine to idle. If the chain moves, the idle is too
fast. If the engine stalls, the idle is too slow.
