High speed jet H
At the factory the engine is adjusted at sea level. 
When working at a high altitude or in different 
weather conditions, temperatures and atmospheric 
humidity, it may be necessary to make minor 
adjustments to the high speed jet.
CAUTION!  If the high speed jet is screwed in too far, 
it may damage the piston/cylinder.
When test run at the factory, the high speed jet is set so 
that the engine satisfies the applicable legal requirements 
at the same time as achieving maximum performance. 
The carburettor’s high speed jet is then locked using a 
limiter cap in the fully screwed out position. The limiter cap 
limits the potential to adjust the high speed jet to at most 
half a turn.
Correctly adjusted carburettor
When the carburettor is correctly adjusted the machine 
accelerates without hesitation and 4-cycles a little at full 
throttle. 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 0.6 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.
Checking the inertia brake release
Place the chain saw, with the engine switched off, on a 
stump or other stable surface. Release the front handle 
and let the saw fall by its own weight, rotating around the 
rear handle towards the stump.
When the bar hits the stump the brake should be 
applied.
!
WARNING! Contact your servicing 
dealer, if the idle speed setting cannot be 
adjusted so that the chain stops. Do not 
use the chain saw until it has been 
properly adjusted or repaired.
Note! All service and repair work on the machine 
demands special training. This is especially true of the 
machine’s safety equipment. If your machine fails any of 
the checks described below we recommend that you 
take it to your service workshop.
