Operating Instructions
During break-in period
A factory-new machine should not be
run at high revs (full throttle off load) for
the first three tank fillings. This avoids
unnecessary high loads during the
break-in period. As all moving parts
have to bed in during the break-in
period, the frictional resistances in the
engine are greater during this period.
The engine develops its maximum
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
During Operation
Do not make the mixture leaner to
achieve an apparent increase in
power – this could damage the
engine – see "Adjusting the
Carburetor".
Check chain tension frequently
A new chain has to be retensioned more
often than one that has been in use for
some time.
Chain cold
Tension is correct when the chain fits
snugly against the underside of the bar
and can still be pulled along the bar by
hand. Retension if necessary – see
"Tensioning the Saw Chain".
