MAINTENANCE
General
The user must only carry out the maintenance and service 
work described in this manual. More extensive work must be 
carried out by an authorised service workshop.
Carburetor adjustment
Your Husqvarna product has been designed and 
manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful 
emissions.
Function
The carburetor governs the engine’s speed via the throttle 
control. Air and fuel are mixed in the carburetor. The air/
fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct adjustment is essential 
to get the best performance from the machine.
The T-screw regulates the throttle setting at idle speed. If 
the T-screw is turned clockwise this gives a higher idle 
speed; turning it anti-clockwise gives a lower idle speed.
Basic settings and running in
The basic carburetor settings are adjusted during testing at 
the factory. Fine adjustment should be carried out by a skilled 
technician.
Rec. idle speed: See the Technical data section.
Fine adjustment of the idling speed T
Adjust the idle speed with the T-screw. If it is necessary to re-
adjust, turn the T-screw clockwise while the engine is running, 
until the chain starts to rotate. Then turn counter-clockwise 
until the chain stops. A correctly adjusted idle speed setting 
occurs when the engine runs smoothly in every position. It 
should also be good margin to the rpm when the chain starts 
to rotate.
Correctly adjusted carburetor
When the carburetor is correctly adjusted the machine 
accelerates without hesitation and the machine 4-cycles a 
little at max. speed. It is also important that the chain does not 
rotate at idle. If the L-jet is set too lean it may cause starting 
difficulties and poor acceleration. If the H-jet is set too lean the 
machine will have less power, poor acceleration and could 
suffer damage to the engine.
Checking, maintaining and servicing 
chain saw safety equipment
Chain brake and front hand guard
Checking brake band wear
Brush off any wood dust, resin and dirt from the chain brake 
and clutch drum. Dirt and wear can impair operation of the 
brake.
Regularly check that the brake band is at least 0.024 inch (0.6 
mm) thick at its thinnest point.
Checking the front hand guard
Make sure the front hand guard is not damaged and that there 
are no visible defects such as cracks.
Move the front hand guard forwards and back to make sure it 
moves freely and that it is securely anchored to the clutch 
cover.
!
WARNING! Contact your servicing dealer, if 
the idle speed setting cannot be adjusted so 
that the chain stops at idle. Do not use the 
chain saw until it has been properly adjusted 
or repaired.
Note! All servicing and repair work on the machine requires 
special training. This is especially true of the machine
′s 
safety equipment. If your machine fails any of the checks 
described below we recommend you to contact our 
servicing dealer.
