The spark plug condition is influenced by:

•

Incorrect carburetor adjustment.

•

An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of 
oil).

•

A dirty air filter.

These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, 
which may result in operating problems and starting 
difficulties.

If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly 
at idle speed: always check the spark plug first before taking 
any further action. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check 
that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm (0,020"). The spark plug 
should be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier 
if necessary.

Note! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use of 
the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder. Check 
that the spark plug is fitted with a suppressor.

Lubricate the bar tip sprocket each time you refuel. Use the 
special grease gun and a good quality bearing grease.

The clutch drum has a needle bearing on the output shaft. 
This needle bearing must be lubricated regularly (once a 
week). When lubricating, remove the clutch cover by 
loosening the two bar nuts. Lay the saw on its side with the 
clutch drum upwards.

Lubrication involves engine oil dripping into the centre of the 
clutch drum as it rotates.

The oil pump is adjustable. Adjustments are made by turning 
the screw using a screwdriver or combination spanner. The 
machine is supplied from the factory set to 1 turn open. 
Turning the screw clockwise will reduce the oil flow and 
turning the screw anti-clockwise will increase the oil flow.
