Chah_ sharpening is a complicated task and
requires special tools. We recommend that

chain sharpener.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
_lk WARNING:
The chain will be moving
during most of this procedure. Wear your pro-
tective equipment and observe all safety pre-
cautions. The chain must not move at idle
speed.
The carburetor has been carefully set at the
factory. Adjustments may be necessary if
you notice any of the foflowing conditions:
• Chain moves at idle. See iDLE SPEED-T
adjusting procedure.
• Saw will not idle. See IDLE SPEED-T ad-
justing procedure.
Idle Speed-T
Allow engine to idle. If the chain moves, idle is
too fast. If tt_e engine stalls, idle is too slow. Ad-
just speed until engine runs without chain
movement (idle too fast) or stalling (idle too
slow). The idle speed screw is located in the
area above the primer bulb and is tabeled T.
• Turn idle screw (T) clockwise to increase
engine speed.
• Turn idle screw (T) counterclockwise to
decrease engine speed.
if you require further assistance or are unsure
about performing this procedure, contact your
authorized service dealer or call our customer

FUEL SYSTEM
Under FUELING ENGINE in the OPERA-
TION section of this manual, see message
labeled IMPORTANT regarding the use of
gasohol in your chain saw.
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in
minimizing the formation of fuel gum depos-
its during storage. Add stabilizer to the gaso-
line in the fuel tank or fuel storage container.
Follow the mix instructions found on stabiliz-
er containers. Run engine at least 5 minutes
