Standard setting L N Turn the high speed adjusting screw (H) counterclockwise as far as possible (max. 3/4 turn) N Turn the low speed adjusting screw (L) clockwise as far as possible - then turn it 3/4 turn counterclockwise Setting the idle speed N Make standard setting N Start engine and let it warm up L Engine stops when idling N Turn the idle speed adjusting screw (LA) clockwise until the abrasive wheel begins to rotate - then turn it back 1 turn 376BA099 KN 376BA098 KN Abrasive wheel runs when idling N Turn the idle speed screw (LA) counterclockwise until the abrasive wheel stops running - then turn another full turn in the same direction WARNING If the abrasive wheel continues to keep rotating in idle even after adjustment, have the cut-off machine checked by a servicing dealer. Speed erratic when idling; poor acceleration (despite adjustment to LA setting) The idle setting is too lean. N Turn the low speed adjusting screw (L) approx. 1/4 turn counterclockwise until the engine runs and accelerates smoothly - max. up to the stop Idle speed cannot be increased sufficiently via the idle speed adjusting screw (LA), engine stops when changing from part-load to idle speed The idle setting is too rich. N Turn low speed adjusting screw (L) approx. 1/4 turn clockwise. Whenever the low speed adjusting screw (L) has been adjusted, it is usually also necessary to readjust the idle speed adjusting screw (LA). English Correcting the carburetor setting for use at high altitudes The setting may have to be marginally corrected if engine performance is unsatisfactory at high altitudes: N Make standard setting N Let the engine warm up N Turn the high speed adjusting screw (H) slightly clockwise (leaner) - max. up to the stop NOTICE After descending from a high altitude, restore the carburetor setting to the standard setting. If you make the setting too lean it will increase the risk of engine damage through lack of lubrication and overheating. TS 700, TS 800 45
