WORKING TECHNIQUES / MAINTENANCE
Cutting trees and branches that are in tension
Preparations: Work out which side is in tension and
where the point of maximum tension is (i.e. where it
would break if it was bent even more).
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:
Position yourself so that you will be clear of the tree or
branch when the tension is released.
Make one or more cuts at or near the point of maximum
tension. Make as many cuts of sufficient depth as
necessary to reduce the tension and make the tree or
branch break at the point of maximum tension.
Never cut straight through a tree or branch that is in
tension!
If you must cut across tree/limb, make two to three cuts,
one inch apart, one to two inches deep.
Continue to cut deeper until tree/limb bends and tension
is released.
Cut tree/limb from outside the bend, after tension has
been released.
How to avoid kickback
WARNING! Kickback can happen very
!
suddenly and violently; kicking the
chain 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.
What is kickback?
The word kickback is used to describe the sudden
reaction that causes the chain saw and bar to jump off an
object when the upper quadrant of the tip of the bar,
known as the kickback zone, touches an object. (43)
Kickback always occurs in the cutting plane of the bar.
Normally the chain saw and bar are thrown backwards
and upwards towards the user. However, the chain 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.
Kickback only occurs if the kickback zone of the bar
touches an object. (44)
Limbing
WARNING! A majority of kickback
!
accidents occur during limbing. Do not
use the kickback zone of the guide bar.
Be extremely cautious and avoid
contacting the log, other limbs or
objects with the nose of the guide bar.
Be extremely cautious of limbs under
tension. They can spring back toward
you and cause loss of control resulting
in injury.

Make sure that you can stand and move about safely.
Work on the left side of the trunk. Work as close as
possible to the chain saw for maximum control. If
possible, let the weight of the chain saw rest on the trunk.
Keep the trunk between you and the chain saw as you
move along the trunk.
Cutting the trunk into logs
See instructions under the heading Basic cutting
technique.
General
The user must only carry out the maintenance and service
work described in this manual. More extensive work must
be carried out by an authorised service workshop.
Carburetor adjustment
Your Jonsered product has been designed and
manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful
exhaust fumes.
Function
• The carburetor governs the engine's speed via the
throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the
carburetor. The air/fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct
adjustment is essential to get the best performance
from the machine.
• The T-screw regulates the throttle setting at idle speed.
If the T-screw is turned clockwise this gives a higher idle
speed; turning it anti-clockwise gives a lower idle speed.
Basic settings and running in
The basic carburetor settings are adjusted during testing
at the factory. Fine adjustment should be carried out by
a skilled technician.
Rec. idle speed: See the Technical data section.
Fine adjustment of the idling speed T
Adjust the idle speed with the T-screw. If it is necessary
to re-adjust, turn the T-screw clockwise while the engine
is running, 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.
WARNING! Contact your servicing
!
dealer, if the idle speed setting cannot
be adjusted so that the chain stops at
idle. Do not use the chain saw until it
has been properly adjusted or repaired.
Checking, maintaining and servicing
chain saw safety equipment
Note! All servicing and repair work on the machine
requires special training. This is especially true of the
machine's safety equipment. If your machine fails any
of the checks described below we recommend you to
contact our servicing dealer. Any maintenance other
than that described in this manual must be carried out
by your servicing dealer (retailer).
Switch off the engine and take off the ignition cable
before repairs or maintenance
