When the throttle trigger is released, the engine should
return to an idle speed. The correct speed for models
M27QC, M30QC are 2700 - 3300 RPM, and for
M42BK-QC is 2400 - 2800 RPM, or just below the
clutch engagement speed. The Attached Tool must not
rotate/move and the engine should not stall (stop run-
ning) at engine idle speed.
To adjust the engine idle speed, rotate the idle speed
adjustment screw on the carburetor.
Idle Speed Adjustment Screw
● T urn the idle speed screw in (clockwise) to increase
the engine idle speed.
● T urn the screw out (counterclockwise) to decrease
the engine idle speed.
If idle speed adjustment is necessary, and after adjust-
ment the Attached Tool rotates/moves or the engine
stalls, stop using the Multi-Cutter immediately!
