English Operating Instructions During the 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 unnecessarily 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 shortblock are greater during this period. The engine develops its maximum power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings. During work NOTICE Do not make the mixture leaner to achieve an apparent increase in power - this could damage the engine - see "Adjusting the Carburetor". NOTICE Open the throttle only when the chain brake is off. Running the engine at high revs with the chain brake engaged (chain locked) will quickly damage the shortblock and chain drive (clutch, chain brake). Check chain tension frequently A new saw chain must be retensioned more frequently than one that has been in use already for an extended period.

NOTICE
Always disengage chain brake before
accelerating the engine. High revs with

will quickly damage the clutch and chain
brake.

During the break-in period
A factory new machine should not be run

have to bed in during the break-in
period, the frictional resistances in the
shortblock are greater during this period.
The engine develops its maximum

During work
NOTICE
Do not make the mixture leaner to
achieve an apparent increase in power –
this could damage the engine – see
"Adjusting the Carburetor".
NOTICE
Open the throttle only when the chain
brake is off. Running the engine at high

(chain locked) will quickly damage the

brake).
Check chain tension frequently
A new saw chain must be retensioned
more frequently than one that has been
