WHAT IS WHAT?
IMPORTANT! If the carburettor mixture is too lean it greatly
increases the risk of engine failure. Poor maintenance of the
air filter will cause carbon build-up on the spark plug and lead
to starting difficulties. If the chain is improperly adjusted it will
cause increased wear or damage to the bar, drive sprocket
and chain.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
You can also use the chain brake as a temporary brake
Chain brake and front hand guard
when you change position or if you put the chain saw
down for a short time! Apart from the fact that a chain saw
with a chain brake greatly reduces the risk of accidents
due to kickback, you should also apply the chain brake
manually if there is a risk of the chain accidentally hitting
anyone or anything close by.
Your chain saw is equipped with a chain brake that is
designed to stop the chain immediately if you get a kickback.
The chain brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only you
can prevent them.
Take care when using your saw and make sure the kickback
zone of the bar never touches any object.
•
The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually (by
your left hand) or automatically by the inertia release
mechanism (a pendulum that swings independently of the
chain saw. On most of our models the front hand guard
acts as a counterweight in case of kickback).
•
•
To release the chain brake pull the front hand guard
backwards, towards the front handle.
The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is
pushed forwards.
Kickback can be very sudden and violent. Most kickbacks
are minor and do not always activate the chain brake. If
this happens you should hold the chain saw firmly and not
let go.
This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism that
tightens the brake band (C) around the engine drive
system (D) (clutch drum).
•
The way the chain brake is activated, either manually or
automatically by the inertia release mechanism, depends
on the force of the kickback and the position of the chain
saw in relation to the object that the kickback zone of the
bar strikes.
•
The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate the
chain brake. Another important feature is that it reduces
the risk of the chain hitting your left hand if you lose grip
of the front handle.
If you get a violent kickback while the kickback zone of the
bar is farthest away from you the chain brake will be
activated by the movement of the counterweight (inertia
activated) in the kickback direction.
•
The chain brake must be engaged when the chain saw is
started.
If the kickback is less violent or the kickback zone of the
bar is closer to you the chain brake will be activated
manually by the movement of your left hand.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
During felling your left hand grasps the front handle in
Vibration damping system
such a way that it cannot activate the chain brake. In this
position, i.e. when your left hand is in such a position that
it cannot affect the movement of the front hand guard, the
chain brake can only be activated by the inertia of the
counterweight.
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system
that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation
easier.
When you use a chain saw, vibration is generated by the
uneven contact between the chain and the wood you are
cutting.
•
The inertia activated chain brake is a valuable feature but
there are certain factors to remember (see point above).
Cutting hardwoods (most broadleaf trees) creates more
vibration than cutting softwoods (most conifers). Cutting with
cutting equipment that is blunt or faulty (wrong type or badly
sharpened) will increase the vibration level. See instructions
under the heading Cutting equipment.
Throttle lock
The throttle lock is designed to prevent accidental operation
of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when
you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (B).
When you release the handle the throttle control and the
throttle lock both move back to their original positions. This
movement is controlled by two independent return springs.
This arrangement means that the throttle control is
automatically locked at the idle setting.
The machine′s vibration damping system reduces the transfer
of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and
the machine′s handle unit. The body of the chain saw,
including the cutting equipment, is insulated from the handles
by vibration damping units.
Chain catcher
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can
lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage
in people who have impaired circulation.
The chain catcher is designed to catch the chain if it snaps or
jumps off. This should not happen if the chain is properly
tensioned (see instructions under the heading Assembly) and
if the bar and chain are properly serviced and maintained
(see instructions under the heading General working
instructions).
!
Contact your doctor if you experience
symptoms of overexposure to vibration.
Such symptoms include numbness, loss of
feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of
strength, changes in skin colour or
condition.These symptoms normally appear
in the fingers, hands or wrists.The risk
increases at low temperatures.
Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Right hand guard
Apart from protecting your hand if the chain jumps or snaps,
the right hand guard stops branches and twigs from
interfering with your grip on the rear handle.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Checking the front hand guard
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
Make sure the front hand guard is not damaged and that there
are no visible defects such as cracks.
WARNING! The exhaust fumes from the
engine are hot and may contain sparks
which can start a fire. Never start the
machine indoors or near combustible
material!
!
Move the front hand guard forwards and back to make sure it
moves freely and that it is securely anchored to the clutch
cover.
In areas with a hot, dry climate there is a high risk of fires.
These areas are sometimes controlled by legislation and
requirements that among other things the muffler must be
equipped with an approved type of spark arrestor mesh.
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the instructions
on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine. See
instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining and
servicing the machine’s safety equipment.
Checking the inertia brake release
WARNING! The muffler gets very hot in use
and remains so for a short time afterwards.
Do not touch the muffler if it is hot!
!
Hold the chain saw over a stump or other firm object. Let go
of the front handle so that the bar drops towards the stump as
the chain saw rotates around the rear handle.

deformation.
Check that the throttle control and throttle lock move freely
and that the return springs work properly.
Make sure the vibration damping units are securely attached
to the engine unit and handle unit.
Start the chain saw and apply full throttle. Release the
throttle control and check that the chain stops and
remains stationary. If the chain rotates when the throttle
control is in the idle position you should check the
carburettor idle adjustment.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Keep the chain’s cutting teeth properly sharpened!
Muffler
Follow our instructions and use the recommended file
gauge. A damaged or badly sharpened chain increases
the risk of accidents.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
•
•
Maintain the correct raker clearance! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended raker gauge.
Too large a clearance increases the risk of kickback.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the
machine.
Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is slack
it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased wear on
the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark arrestor
mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will
cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious
damage.
•
Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and properly
maintained! A poorly lubricated chain is more likely to
break and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and
drive sprocket.
Never use a muffler if the spark arrestor mesh is missing
or defective.
Cutting equipment designed to minimise
kickback
WARNING! Never use a machine with faulty
safety equipment.The machine’s safety
equipment must be checked and maintained
as described in this section. If your machine
fails any of these checks contact your
service agent to get it repaired.
!
WARNING! Faulty cutting equipment or the
wrong combination of bar and chain
increases the risk of kickback! Use only the
bar and chain combinations that we
recommend. See the Technical data section.

General information on sharpening cutting teeth
•
Never use a blunt chain.When the chain is blunt you have
to exert more pressure to force the bar through the wood
and the cuttings will be very small.If the chain is very blunt
it will not produce any cuttings at all. Wood powder would
be the only result.
Number of drive links. The number of drive links is
determined by the length of the bar, the chain pitch and
the number of teeth on the bar tip sprocket.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and
produces long, thick cuttings.
WARNING! The following faults will increase
the risk of kickback considerably:
!
File angle too large
Cutting angle too small
File diameter too small
•
The cutting part of the chain is called the cutting link and
this consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the raker lip (B).The
cutting depth is determined by the difference in height
between the two.
Sharpening cutting teeth
When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are five important
factors to remember.
1
Filing angle
To sharpen cutting teeth you will need a round file and a file
gauge. See the Technical data section for information on the
size of file and gauge that are recommended for the chain
fitted to your chain saw.
2
3
Cutting angle
File position
•
•
Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack chain
will move sideways, making it more difficult to sharpen
correctly.
Always file cutting teeth from the inside face. Reduce the
pressure on the return stroke.File all the teeth on one side
first, then turn the chain saw over and file the teeth on the
other side.
4
5
Round file diameter
File depth
•
File all the teeth to the same length. When the length of
the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (0.16") the chain is
worn out and should be replaced.
It is very difficult to sharpen a chain correctly without the right
equipment. We recommend that you use our file gauge. This
will help you obtain the maximum kickback reduction and
cutting performance from your chain.
General advice on setting raker clearance
•
When you sharpen the cutting teeth you reduce the raker
clearance (=cutting depth). To maintain optimal cutting
performance you must file back the raker lip to the
recommended height.
See the Technical data section for information about
sharpening your chain.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
See the Technical data section to find the raker clearance
for your particular chain.
Tensioning the chain
WARNING! A slack chain may jump off and
cause serious or even fatal injury.
!
•
On a low-kickback cutting link the front edge of the raker
lip is rounded. It is very important that you maintain this
radius or bevel when you adjust the raker clearance.
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the
slack.
Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A new
chain has a running-in period during which you should check
the tension more frequently.
The position of the chain tensioning screw on our chain saws
varies from model to model. See the What is what? section to
find out where it is on your model.
•
We recommend that you use our raker gauge to achieve
the correct clearance and bevel on the raker lip.
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight that
you cannot pull it round freely by hand.
WARNING! The risk of kickback is increased
if the raker clearance is too large!
!
Setting the raker clearance
•
Undo the bar nuts that hold the clutch cover/chain brake.
Use the combination spanner. Then tighten the bar nuts
by hand as tight as you can.
•
•
Before setting the raker clearance the cutting teeth should
be newly sharpened. We recommend that you adjust the
raker clearance every third time you sharpen the chain.
NOTE! This recommendation assumes that the length of
the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.
To adjust the raker clearance you will need a flat file and a
raker gauge.
•
Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the chain by tightening
the chain tensioning screw using the combination
spanner. Tighten the chain until it does not sag from the
underside of the bar.
•
•
Place the gauge over the raker lip.
•
Use the combination spanner to tighten the bar nuts while
lifting the tip of the bar at the same time. Check that you
can pull the chain round freely by hand and that it does not
sag from the underside of the bar.
Place the file over the part of the lip that protrudes through
the gauge and file off the excess.The clearance is correct
when you no longer feel any resistance as you draw the
file over the gauge.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
•
•
Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed.
Clean if necessary.
Lubricating cutting equipment
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting
equipment may cause the chain to snap,
which could lead to serious, even fatal
injuries.
!
Chain oil
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and
also maintain its flow characteristics regardless of whether it
is warm summer or cold winter weather.
Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean.
Clean if necessary.
As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an optimal
chain oil which has a vegetable oil base. We recommend the
use of our own oil for both maximum chain life and to minimise
environmental damage. If our own chain oil is not available,
standard chain oil is recommended.
In areas where oil specifically for lubrication of saw chains is
unavailable, ordinary EP 90 transmission oil may be used.
Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that the
lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not blocked. Clean
and lubricate if necessary.
Never use waste oil! This is dangerous for yourself, the
machine and the environment.
Filling with chain oil
•
All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication
system. On some models the oil flow is also adjustable.
If the chain lubrication system is still not working after carrying
out the above checks and associated measures you should
contact your service agent.
Lubricating the bar tip sprocket
•
The sizes of the chain oil tank and fuel tank have been
chosen so that the engine will run out of fuel before
running out of oil. This means that you should never run
with a dry chain.
Lubricate the bar tip sprocket each time you refuel. Use the
special grease gun and a good quality bearing grease.
However, this safety feature requires that you use the right
sort of chain oil (if the oil is too thin it will run out before the
fuel), and that you adjust the carburettor as recommended
(a weak mixture may mean that the fuel lasts longer than
the oil) and that you also use the recommended cutting
equipment (a bar that is too long will use more chain oil).
The above conditions also apply to chain saw models with
an adjustable oil pump.
Needle bearing lubrication
Checking chain lubrication
•
Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel.
Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about 20
cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 throttle
you should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface.
The clutch drum is fitted with one of the following drive
sprockets:
A Spur sprocket (the chain sprocket is welded on the drum)
B Rim sprocket (replaceable)
Both versions have a needle bearing on the drive shaft, which
has to be greased regularly (once a week). CAUTION! Use
only high quality bearing grease or engine oil.
If the chain lubrication is not working:

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If a
hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is due to
running with a slack chain.
Checking wear on cutting equipment
Check the chain daily for:
•
To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over daily.
•
•
•
Visible cracks in rivets and links.
Whether the chain is stiff.
Whether rivets and links are badly worn.
WARNING! Most chain saw accidents
happen when the chain touches the
operator.
We recommend you compare the existing chain with a new
chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.

Check that all the chain saw safety features
are working. See instructions under the
headings General working instructions and
General safety precautions.
Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket.
Replace if wear is excessive. Replace the drive sprocket
whenever you replace the chain.
How to avoid kickback
WARNING! Kickback can happen very
suddenly and violently; kicking the chain
saw, bar and chain back at the user. If this
happens when the chain is moving it can
cause very serious, even fatal injuries. It is
vital you understand what causes kickback
and that you can avoid it by taking care and
using the right working technique.
!
Bar
Check regularly:
•
Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar. Remove
these with a file if necessary.
What is kickback?
The word kickback is used to describe the sudden reaction
that causes the chain saw and bar to jump off an object when
the upper quadrant of the tip of the bar, known as the kickback
zone, touches an object.
•
Whether the groove in the bar has become badly worn.
Replace the bar if necessary.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Kickback always occurs in the cutting plane of the bar.
4
Never use the chain saw above shoulder height and try
Normally the chain saw and bar are thrown backwards and
upwards towards the user. However, the chain saw may move
in a different direction depending on the way it was being used
when the kickback zone of the bar touched the object.
not to cut with the tip of the bar. Never use the chain saw
one-handed!
5
In order to keep control of your saw, always maintain a
firm foothold. Never work on a ladder, in a tree or on any
other insecure support.
Kickback only occurs if the kickback zone of the bar touches
an object.
General rules
1
If you understand what kickback is and how it happens
then you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.
By being prepared you reduce the risk.Kickback is usually
quite mild, but it can sometimes be very sudden and
violent.
6
7
Always use a fast cutting speed, i.e. full throttle.
Take great care when you cut with the top edge of the bar,
i.e. when cutting from the underside of the object. This is
known as cutting on the push stroke. The chain tries to
push the chain saw back towards the user.
2
Always hold the chain saw firmly with your right hand on
the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the handles.You
should use this grip whether you are right-handed or left-
handed.This grip minimises the effect of kickback and lets
you keep the chain saw under control.
Do not let go of the handles!
Unless the user resists this pushing force there is a risk
that the chain saw will move so far backwards that only the
kickback zone of the bar is in contact with the tree, which
will lead to a kickback.
3
Most kickback accidents happen during limbing. Make
sure you are standing firmly and that there is nothing in
the way that might make you trip or lose your balance.
Lack of concentration can lead to kickback if the kickback
zone of the bar accidentally touches a branch, nearby tree
or some other object.
Cutting with the bottom edge of the bar, i.e. from the top
of the object downwards, is known as cutting on the pull
stroke. In this case the chain saw pulls itself towards the

General working instructions
WARNING! This section describes basic
safety rules for using a chain saw.This
information is never a substitute for
!
professional skills and experience. If you get
into a situation where you feel unsafe, stop
and seek expert advice. Contact your chain
saw dealer, service agent or an experienced
chain saw user. Do not attempt any task that
you feel unsure of!
Fuel safety
Before using a chain saw you must understand the effects of
kickback and how to avoid them. See instructions under the
heading How to avoid kickback.
WARNING! Fuel and fuel vapour are highly
flammable.Take care when handling fuel and
chain oil. Be aware of the risks of fire,
explosion and those associated with
inhalation.
Before using a chain saw you must understand the difference
between cutting with the top and bottom edges of the bar.See
instructions under the heading How to avoid kickback.
!
Basic safety rules
•
•
Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling or
mixing fuel (gasoline and 2-stroke oil).
•
Look around you:
-
To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot
affect your control of the machine.
•
Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling point
before starting it.
-
To make sure that none of the above might come
within reach of your saw or be injured by falling trees.
•
Never start the machine:
Follow the instructions above, but do not use a chain saw in a
situation where you cannot call for help in case of an accident.
1
If you have spilt fuel or chain oil on the machine.Wipe
off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
•
Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in
bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as
icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc.
2
If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
3
If the machine is leaking fuel.Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
•
Take great care when removing small branches and avoid
cutting bushes (i.e. cutting many small branches at the
same time). Small branches can be grabbed by the chain
and thrown back at you, causing serious injury.
Transport and storage
•
Always store the chain saw and fuel so that there is no risk
of leakages or fumes coming into contact with sparks or
naked flames from electrical equipment, electric motors,
relays/switches, boilers and the like.
•
•
Always store fuel in an approved container designed for
that purpose.
For longer periods of storage or for transport of the chain
saw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be emptied. Ask
where you can dispose of waste fuel and chain oil at your
local gas station.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Make sure you can move and stand safely.Check the area
Basic cutting technique
around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches,
ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take
great care when working on sloping ground.
General
•
•
Always use full throttle when cutting!
Reduce the speed to idle after every cut (running the
engine for too long at full throttle without any load, i.e.
without any resistance from the chain during cutting, can
lead to serious engine damage).
•
•
Cutting from above = Cutting on the pull stroke.
Cutting from below = Cutting on the push stroke.
Cutting on the push stroke increases the risk of kickback. See
instructions under the heading How to avoid kickback.
•
Take the utmost care when cutting through branches or
logs that are in tension. A log or branch that is in tension
can suddenly spring back into its natural position before or
after you cut it. If you stand on the wrong side or start
cutting in the wrong place it may strike you or your chain
saw, so that you lose control. Both situations could cause
serious injury.
Terms
Cutting = General term for cutting through wood.
Limbing = Cutting branches off a felled tree.
Splitting = When the object you are cutting breaks off before
the cut is complete.
There are five important factors you should
consider before making a cut:
1
Make sure the cutting equipment will not jam in the cut.
2
Make sure the object you are cutting will not split.
•
Before moving your chain saw switch off the engine and
lock the chain using the chain brake. Carry the chain saw
with the bar and chain pointing backwards. Fit a guard to
the bar before transporting the chain saw or carrying it for
any distance.
3
Make sure the chain will not strike the ground or any other
object during or after cutting.

5
Is there a risk of kickback?
•
Never put a chain saw down while the engine is running
unless you have it in clear view and the chain brake is on.
Switch the engine off before leaving your chain saw for
any length of time.
Do the conditions and surrounding terrain affect how
safely you can stand and move about?
Two factors decide whether the chain will jam or the object
that you are cutting will split: the first is how the object is
supported before and after cutting, and the second is whether
it is in tension.

stages;from the top and from the bottom.You need to support
the object so that it will not trap the chain or split during
cutting.
WARNING! If the chain jams in the cut: stop
the engine! Don’t try to pull the chain saw
free. If you do you may be injured by the
chain when the chain saw suddenly breaks
free. Use a lever to open up the cut and free
the chain saw.
!
Finish by cutting from above so that the two cuts meet.
The following instructions describe how to handle the
commonest situations you are likely to encounter when using
a chain saw.
The log is supported at both ends. There is a high risk that
the chain will jam.
Cutting
The log is lying on the ground. There is little risk of the
chain jamming or the object splitting. However there is a risk
that the chain will touch the ground when you finish the cut.
Start by cutting from above (about 1/3 of the way through).
Cut all the way through the log from above. Avoid letting the
chain touch the ground as you finish the cut. Maintain full
throttle but be prepared for what might happen.
Finish by cutting from below so that the two cuts meet.
Limbing
When limbing thick branches you should use the same
approach as for cutting.
If it is possible (can you turn the log?) stop cutting about 2/3
of the way through the log.
Cut difficult branches piece by piece.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Tree felling technique
WARNING! During critical felling operations,
hearing protectors should be lifted
immediately when sawing is completed so
that sounds and warning signals can be
heard.
!
WARNING! It takes a lot of experience to fell
a tree. Inexperienced users of chain saws
should not fell trees. Do not attempt any task
that you feel unsure of!
!
Clearing the trunk and preparing your retreat
Safe distance
Remove any branches that are in the way.To do this it is best
to work from the top down and keep the trunk between you
and the chain saw. Never limb above shoulder height.
The safe distance between a tree that is to be felled and
anyone else working nearby is at least 21/2 tree lengths.
Make sure that no-one else is in this ”risk zone” before or
during felling.
Remove any undergrowth from the base of the tree and check
the area for obstacles (stones, branches, holes, etc.) so that
you have a clear path of retreat when the tree starts to fall.
Your path of retreat should be roughly 135 degrees away from
the intended felling direction.
Felling direction
The aim is to fell the tree in a position where you can limb and
cross-cut the log as easily as possible.You want it to fall on
ground where you can stand and move about safely.The main
point to avoid is letting the tree fall onto another tree. See
instructions under the heading Freeing a tree that has fallen
badly.
Felling
Felling is done using three cuts.First you make the directional
cuts, which consist of the top cut and the bottom cut, then you
finish with the felling cut. By placing these cuts correctly you
can control the felling direction very accurately.
Once you have decided which way you want the tree to fall
you must judge which way the tree would fall naturally.
Several factors affect this:
Directional cuts
•
•
•
•
•
Lean of the tree
Bend
To make the directional cuts you begin with the top cut. Stand
to the right of the tree and cut on the pull stroke.
Wind direction
Arrangement of branches
Weight of snow
Next make the bottom cut so that it finishes exactly at the end
of the top cut.
You may find you are forced to let the tree fall in its natural
direction because it is impossible or dangerous to try to make
it fall in the direction you first intended.
The directional cuts should run 1/4 of the diameter through
the trunk and the angle between the top cut and bottom cut
should be 45°.
Another very important factor, which does not affect the felling
direction but does affect your safety, is to make sure the tree
has no damaged or dead branches that might break off and
hit you during felling.
English – 21
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The line where the two cuts meet is called the directional cut
line. This line should be perfectly horizontal and at right
angles (90°) to the chosen felling direction.
When the felling cut and directional cut are complete the tree
should start to fall by itself or with the aid of a felling wedge or
breaking bar.
Felling cut
We recommend that you use a bar that is longer than the
diameter of the tree, so that you can make the felling cut and
directional cuts with single cutting strokes. See the Technical
data section to find out which lengths of bar are
recommended for your saw.
The felling cut is made from the opposite side of the tree and
it must be perfectly horizontal. Stand on the left side of the
tree and cut on the pull stroke.
Make the felling cut about 3-5 cm (1.5-2 inches) above the
bottom directional cut.
There are methods for felling trees with a diameter larger than
the bar length. However these methods involve a much
greater risk that the kickback zone of the bar will come into
contact with the tree.
Use full throttle and bring the bar and chain slowly into the
tree.Make sure the tree does not start to move in the opposite
direction to your intended felling direction. Drive a wedge or
breaking bar into the cut as soon as it is deep enough.
WARNING! Unless you have special training
we advise you not to fell trees with a
diameter larger than the bar length of your
saw!
!
Finish the felling cut parallel with the directional cut line so
that the distance between them is at least 1/10 of the trunk
diameter. The uncut section of the trunk is called the felling
hinge.
Limbing
WARNING! Most kickback accidents happen
during limbing! Pay close attention to the
position of the kickback zone of the bar
when you are limbing branches that are in
tension!
!
The felling hinge controls the direction that the tree falls in.
Make sure that you can stand and move about safely.Work on
the left side of the trunk. Work as close as possible to the
chain saw for maximum control. If possible, let the weight of
the chain saw rest on the trunk.
All control over the felling direction is lost if the felling hinge is
too narrow or non-existent, or if the directional cuts and felling
cut are badly placed.
Keep the trunk between you and the chain saw as you move
along the trunk.

Freeing a ”trapped tree”
It is very dangerous to remove a trapped tree and there is high
accident risk.
The safest method is to use a winch.

Cutting trees and branches that are in tension
Preparations:
Work out which side is in tension and where the point of
maximum tension is (i.e. where it would break if it was bent
even more).
Decide which is the safest way to release the tension and
whether you are able to do it safely. In complicated situations
the only safe method is to put aside your chain saw and use
a winch.
General advice:
Position yourself so that you will be clear of the tree or branch
when the tension is released.
Make one or more cuts at or near the point of maximum
tension. Make as many cuts of sufficient depth as necessary
to reduce the tension and make the tree or branch break at
the point of maximum tension.
Never cut straight through a tree or branch that is in
tension!

ASSEMBLY
Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning screw
Fitting the bar and chain
clockwise using the combination spanner. The chain should
be tensioned until it does not sag from the underside of the
bar.
WARNING! Always wear gloves, when
working with the chain, in order to protect
your hands from injury.
!
Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position by
moving the front hand guard towards the front handle.
The chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag from the
underside of the bar, but can still be turned easily by hand.
Hold up the bar tip and tighten the bar nuts with the
combination spanner.
Remove the bar nuts and remove the clutch cover (chain
brake). Take off the transportation ring (A).
When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be checked
frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the chain tension
regularly. A correctly tensioned chain ensures good cutting
performance and long life.
Fit the bar over the bar bolts. Place the bar in its rearmost
position. Place the chain over the drive sprocket locate it in
the groove on the bar. Begin on the top edge of the bar.
Note: If clutch cover is difficult to remove, replace bar nuts,
engage brake and rerelease (an audible click will be heard if
released properly).
Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are facing
forward on the top edge of the bar.
Fit the clutch cover and locate the chain adjuster pin in the
hole in the bar. Check that the drive links of the chain fit
correctly over the drive sprocket and that the chain is correctly
located in the groove in the bar. Tighten the bar nuts finger
tight.

FUEL HANDLING
Mixing
Fuel
•
Always mix the gasoline and oil in a clean container
intended for fuel.
CAUTION!The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine
and must always been run using a mixture of gasoline and
two-stroke engine oil. It is important to accurately measure
the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct
mixture is obtained.When mixing small amounts of fuel, even
small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the
mixture.
•
Always start by filling half the amount of the gasoline to be
used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the
fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of gasoline.
•
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the
machine’s fuel tank.
WARNING! Always ensure there is adequate
ventilation when handling fuel.
!
Gasoline
•
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline.
•
Use good quality unleaded gasoline.
•
•
Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a time.
If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank
should be emptied and cleaned.
•
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline.
•
•
The lowest octane recommended is 87. If you run the
engine on a lower octane than 87 it can result in knocking.
This gives rise to a high engine temperature, which can
result in serious engine damage.
Chain oil
When working with continuous high revs (e.g. limbing) a
higher octane is recommended.
•
The chain lubrication system is automatic and we
recommend the use of special oil (chain oil) with good
adhesion characteristics.
Two-stroke oil
•
For the best results and performance use JONSERED
two-stroke oil, which is specially formulated for our two-
stroke engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
•
•
Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled
outboard engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil.
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.

FUEL HANDLING
Fuelling
WARNING!Taking the following precautions,
will lessen the risk of fire:
!
Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.
Always shut off the engine before refuelling.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so
that any excess pressure is released gently.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
Clean the area around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel and chain
oil tanks regularly. The fuel filter must be replaced at least
once a year. Contamination in the tanks causes malfunction.
Make sure the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container
before refuelling.The capacities of the chain oil tank and fuel
tank are carefully matched.You should therefore always fill
the chain oil tank and fuel tank at the same time.

STARTING AND STOPPING
Warm engine
Starting and stopping
WARNING! Note the following before
starting:
!
Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain
and all covers are fitted correctly. Otherwise
the clutch can come loose and cause
personal injuries.
Use the same procedure as for starting a cold engine but
without setting the choke control in the choke position. The
correct choke/start throttle setting is obtained by moving the
choke control to the choke position and then pushing it in
again.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
Place the machine on firm ground. Make
sure you have a secure footing and that the
chain cannot touch anything.
Starting
Keep people and animals well away from the
working area.
Cold engine
Grip the front handle with your left hand. Hold the chain saw
on the ground by placing your right foot through the rear
handle. Pull the starter handle with your right hand and pull
out the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as the
starter pawls engage) then pull firmly and rapidly.Never wrap
the starter cord around your hand
Starting: The chain brake should be activated when starting
the chain saw. Activate the chain brake by pushing the front
hand guard forwards.
Ignition: Slide the ignition switch to the left.
As the chain brake is still activated the engine must return to
idling speed as soon as possible by disengaging the throttel
latch in order to avoid unnecessery wear on the clutch
assembly.
Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.
Start throttle: The correct choke/start throttle setting is
obtained by moving the control to the choke position.
Push in the choke control as soon as the engine fire and make
repeated starting attempts. Immediately press and release
the throttle when the engine starts. That will disengage the
throttle latch.
If the machine is fitted with a decompression valve (A): Press
the valve to reduce the pressure in the cylinder and make
starting easier.You should always use the decompression
valve when starting the machine. Once the machine has
started the valve will automatically return to its original
setting.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do
not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended.
This can damage the machine.

MAINTENANCE
Fine adjustment
Carburettor
When the machine has been ”run-in” the carburettor should
be finely adjusted. The fine adjustment should be carried
out by a qualified person. First adjust the L-jet, then the
idling screw T and then the H-jet.
Your Jonsered product has been designed and manufactured
to specifications that reduce harmful exhaust fumes.
Function, Basic settings, Fine adjustment
Conditions
WARNING! Do not start the chain saw unless
the bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake)
are fitted, otherwise the clutch may come
loose and cause personal injury.
•
Before any adjustments are made the air filter should be
clean and the cylinder cover fitted. Adjusting the
carburettor while a dirty air filter is in use will result in a
leaner mixture next time the filter is cleaned.This can give
rise to serious engine damage.
!
Function
•
•
Do not attempt to adjust the L and H jets beyond
either stop as this could cause damage.
•
The carburettor governs the engine’s speed via the
throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the carburettor.
The air/fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct adjustment is
essential to get the best performance from the machine.
Now start the machine according to the starting
instructions and let it warm up for 10 minutes. CAUTION!
If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw must be
turned anti-clockwise until the chain stops.
•
•
The setting of the carburettor means that the engine is
adepted to local conditions, for example, the climate,
altitude, fuel and the type of 2-stroke oil.
•
Place the machine on a flat surface so that the bar points
away from you and so that the bar and chain do not come
into contact with the surface or other objects.
The carburettor has three adjustment controls:
-
-
-
L = Low speed jet
Low speed jet L
H = High speed jet
Turn the low speed jet L clockwise until it stops. If the engine
accelerates poorly or idles unevenly, turn the low speed jet L
anticlockwise until good acceleration and idling are achieved.
T = Idle adjustment screw
H
T
CAUTION! If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw
must be turned anti-clockwise until the chain stops.
Final setting of the idling speed T
Adjust the idle speed with the T-screw. If it is necessary to re-
adjust, turn theT-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.
L
•
•
The L and H-jets are used to adjust the supply of fuel to
match the rate that air is admitted, which is controlled with
the throttle. If they are screwed clockwise the air/fuel ratio
becomes leaner (less fuel) and if they are turned anti-
clockwise the ratio becomes richer (more fuel). A lean
mixture gives a higher engine speed and a rich mixture
gives a lower engine speed.
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.
!
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.
High speed jet H
Basic settings and running in
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.
The basic carburettor settings are adjusted during testing at
the factory.
Avoid running at a too high speed during the first 10 hours.
CAUTION! If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw
must be turned anti-clockwise until the chain stops.
CAUTION! If the high speed jet is screwed in too far, it may
damage the piston/cylinder.
Rec. idle speed: 2700 rpm
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

The maximum speed will not exceed 13600 rpm when the
high speed jet is adjusted (screwed in). When the speed
governor is activated, you will get the same sound experience
as when the chain saw 4-cycles.
To adjust the carburettor correctly you should contact a
mechanic with access to a rev counter.
CAUTION! As the spark is cut off, the rev counter does not
show speeds higher than 13600 rpm.
Correctly adjusted carburettor
Tensioning the recoil spring
When the carburettor 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.

MAINTENANCE
Fitting the starter
Spark plug
•
To fit the starter, first pull out the starter cord and place the
starter in position against the crankcase. Then slowly
release the starter cord so that the pulley engages with
the pawls.
The spark plug condition is influenced by:
•
Fit and tighten the screws that hold the starter.
•
•
•
Incorrect carburettor adjustment.
Wrong fuel mixture (too much 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.
Air filter
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt
in order to avoid:
•
•
•
•
•
Carburettor malfunctions
Starting problems
Loss of engine power
Unnecessary wear to engine parts
Excessive fuel consumption.
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type!
Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder.
Clean the air filter daily, or more often in demanding
conditions.
Muffler
•
Remove the air filter after taking off the air filter cover.
When refitting make sure that the air filter seals tightly
against the filter holder. Clean the filter by brushing or
shaking it.
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct
the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust
gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause fire
if directed against dry and combustible material.
•
The filter can be cleaned more thoroughly by washing it in
water and detergent.
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor
mesh. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should
clean the mesh at least once a week.This is best done with a
wire brush.
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be
cleaned completely.The filter must therefore be replaced with
a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter must
always be replaced.
CAUTION! The mesh must be replaced if it is damaged. If the
mesh is blocked the machine will overheat and this will cause
damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a machine with
a muffler that is in poor condition.
A JONSERED chain saw can be equipped with different types
of air filter according to working conditions, weather, season,
etc. Contact your dealer for advice.

Adjustment of the oil pump
2
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.

Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling
system results in the machine overheating which causes
damage to the piston and cylinder.
Centrifugal cleaning “Turbo”
Centrifugal cleaning means the following: All air to the
carburettor passes through the starter. Dirt and dust is
centrifuged out by the cooling fan.
WARNING! The engine must not be running
when making adjustments.

Heated handles
Winter use
(CS 2171W)
During cold weather and under powder snow conditions,
operating problems can arise due to:
On models with the model code W, both the front handle bar
and the rear handle are equipped with electrical heating coils.
These are supplied with electricity from a generator built into
the chain saw.
•
•
Too low engine temperature.
Icing of the air filter and carburettor.
Special measures are therefore often required:
•
Partly mask the air inlet on the starter to increase the
working temperature of the engine.
IMPORTANT!
Any maintenance other than that described in this manual
must be carried out by your servicing dealer (retailer).
When the red mark on the switch is visible, the heating is on.
Electrical carburettor heating
(CS 2171WH)
Canada
If this chain saw has the model code WH then it is equipped
with an electrically heated carburettor. The electrical heating
prevents icing in the carburettor. A thermostat regulates
heating so that the carburettor always has the correct working
temperature.
Other countries
The carburettor heater is used in the following temperature
range: 0ºC or colder. During high humidity, icing of the
carburettor can occur earlier than specified.
The carburettor heater only heats the carburettor when the 3-
way switch is set to position ”II”.
The switch is off in position ”0”, supplies current to the handle
heater in position ”I”, supplies current to the carburettor in
position ”II”.
CAUTION! The carburettor heater reaches maximum
temperature after about 3 minutes. It is therefore important
that the machine is not run for longer with the heater switched
on. If the switch is left on for too long the carburettor will
overheat and lead to running problems or starting problems.
