Cleaning the air filter:
A dirty air filter decreases engine perform-
ance and increases fuel consumption and
harmful emissions. Always clean after 15
tanks of fuel or 5 hours of operation, which-
ever comes first. Clean more frequently in
dusty conditions. A used aire filter can never
be completely cleaned. It is advisable to re-
place your air filter with a new one after every
50 hours of operation, or annually, whichever
comes first.
1. Loosen 3 screws on cylinder cover.
2. Remove cylinder cover.
3. Remove air filter.
4. Clean the air filter using hot soapy water.
Rinse with clean cool water. Air dry com-
pletely before reinstalling.
5. Reinstall air filter.
6. Reinstall cylinder cover and 3 screws.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS
_WARNING:
The chain will be mov-
ing during most of this procedure. Wear your
protective equipment and observe all safety
precautions. 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 following 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 the engine stalls, idle is too slow.
Adjust 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 labeled T.
• Turn idle speed screw (T) clockwise to in-
crease engine speed.
• Turn idle speed screw (T) counterclock-
wise to decrease engine speed.
