f Poor quality gasoline or oils may damage sealing
rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.
How to mix fuel
Important! Pay attention to agitation
f Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be
mixed.
f Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel
container.
f Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.
f Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again for
at least one minute. As some oils may be difficult to
agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient
agitation is necessary for the engine to last long.
Be careful that, if the agitation is insufficient, there
is an increased danger of early piston seizing due to
abnormally lean mixture.
Fueling the unit
f Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap on a
dustless place.
f Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.
f Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel
spillage around the unit.
WARNING!
f Move at least 10feet (3meters) away from the
fueling point before starting the engine.
f Stop the engine before refueling the unit. Be
sure to sufficiently agitate the mixed gasoline in
the container.
FORE YOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID:
f FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW GASOLINE): It will cause
severe damage to the internal engine parts very
quickly.
f GASOHOL: It can cause deterioration of rubber and/
or plastic parts and disruption of engine lubrication.
f OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE: It can cause spark
plug fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston ring
sticking.
f In the case of storing the product for a long period
of time, clean the fuel tank after rendering it empty the
carburetor of the composite fuel.
Chain oil
Use motor oil SAE#10w-30(all year round) or SAE
#30~#40 in summer and SAE #20 in winter.
OPERATING ENGINE (Fig. D, E, F, G y H)
Starting engine
f Fill fuel and chain (9) oil tanks respectively (10), and
tighten the caps securely (Fig. D).
f Put the switch to "I" position (Fig. E)(11).
f Pull out the choke knob (Fig. G)(14) to the throttle
lever position. The choke will close and the
throttlelever (12) will then be set in the starting
position.
(13) Throttle inerlock
Note: When restarting immediately after stopping the
engine, leave the chock knob (14) at the first-stage
position.
f While holding the saw unit securely on the ground,
pull the starter rope vigorously.
Warning! Do not start the engine while hanging
the chain saw with a hand. The saw chain may
touch your body. It's very dangerous.
f When engine has ignited first, push in the choke knob
to first-stage (14) position and pull the starter again to
start the engine.
f Allow the engine to warm up with the throttle lever (12)
pulled slightly. When pulling throttle level out, the
choke knob is automatically returned to the operating
position.
Warning! Keep clear of the saw chain as it will start
rotating upon starting of engine.
Checking oil supply (Fig. I y J)
After starting the engine, run the chain at medium speed
and see if chain oil is scattered off as shown in Fig. I.
The carburetor on your unit has been factory adjusted,but
may require fine tuning due to change in operating conditions.
(Fig. J)
Adjusting carburetor
The carburetor on your unit has been factory adjusted,
but may require fine turning due to change in operating
conditions. before first use.
Before adjusting the carburetor, make sure to use clean
air/fuel filters and fresh, properly mixed fuel.
When adjusting, take the following steps.
f Stop engine and screw in both H and L needles until
they stop. Never force .Then set them back the initial
number of turns as show below.
H needle: 1+-3/8
L needle: 5/4+-1/4
f Start engine and allow it to warm up at half-throttle.
f Turn L needle (15) slowly clockwise to find a position
where Idling speed is maximum, then set the needle
back a quarter(1/4) turn counterclockwise.
f Turn idle adjusting screw (T) (17) counterclockwise
so that saw chain does not turn. If idling speed is too
slow, turn the screw clockwise.
f Make a test cut and adjust the H needle (16) for best
cutting power, not for maximum speed.
Carburetor anti-freeeze mechanism
Operating the chain saw in temperatures of 0~5°C at
times of high humidity may result in ice forming within the
carburetor, and this in turn may cause the output power
