Introduction
Arrangement of the manual
This workshop manual can be used in two different ways.
•To repair a specific sub-assembly on a chainsaw.
•To dismantle and reassemble a complete chainsaw.
Repairing a specific sub-assembly
If a specific sub-assembly on the chainsaw needs to be repaired:
1.Look up the page referring to the relevant subassembly.
2.Follow the instructions under the headings: Removal/Dismantling
Cleaning and inspection Refitting/Reassembly
Dismantling and reassembling the entire chainsaw
If the entire chainsaw is to be dismantled, follow the instructions under the heading “Removal/ Dismantling”.
Work through the manual and follow the instructions given in each section under the heading “Removal/Dismantling”.
Then follow all the “Cleaning and inspection” instructions in each section.
Working from the back of the manual, follow all the instructions under the headings “Refitting/ Reassembly” in reverse order.
Each of the sections covering removal/dismantling and refitting/reassembly include the relevant lubrication instructions and bolt torques for each stage of repair.
Construction and function
This chapter gives a simple description of the chainsaw carburettor and its various parts.
Troubleshooting
These pages describe the most common faults that affect a chainsaw. They are divided into four different groups with the most likely faults described first.
Repair instructions
The section that describes how to repair the chainsaw consists of detailed, step-by-step instructions. It explains in detail the special tools, lubricants and bolt torques that are needed when working on each component.
This workshop manual covers the following chainsaw models:

Safety regulations
General instructions
This workshop manual gives detailed instructions on how to troubleshoot, repair and test a chainsaw. This section also describes the various safety precautions that should be taken when carrying out repairs.
The workshop manual has been written for personnel who are assumed to have general experience of repairing and servicing chainsaws.
Workshops where chainsaws are repaired must be equipped with safety equipment that meets local regulations.
No-one should carry out repairs on a chainsaw until they have read and understood the contents of this workshop manual.
Chainsaws are type-approved to meet the relevant safety legislation, but this only applies when the saw is fitted with the cutting equipment specified in the user’s manual. The fitting of any other equipment, or of accessories or parts that are not approved by Jonsered, could mean that the saw no longer meets these safety requirements and the person who carried out the work may be held responsible for its non-conformance.
In this workshop manual the following boxes indicate where caution should be taken.
WARNING!
The warning text warns of the risk of personal injury if the instructions are not followed.
Special instructions
The fuel that is used in a chainsaw poses the following hazards:
•The fuel and its fumes are toxic.
•May cause irritation to skin or eyes.
•May cause breathing difficulties.
•Highly flammable.
When using compressed air the air jet should never be pointed at the body. Air can be forced into the bloodstream and cause fatal injury.
Wear ear protection when testing saws.
After testing a saw do not touch the silencer until it has cooled down. The silencer gets very hot and you may burn yourself. Wear protective gloves when working on the silencer.
The guide bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake) must be fitted before the saw is started. If not, the clutch may come loose and cause injury.
Poor chain lubrication can result in failure of the chain, which could cause serious or fatal injury.
Take care to ensure that the spring inside the starter assembly does not fly out and cause injury. Wear eye protection. If the spring is under compression when the pulley is removed it could fly out and cause injury.
Before removing the tensioning spring from the chain brake, ensure that the brake is in the on position, otherwise the spring may fly out and cause injury.
NOTE!
The warning text warns of the risk of material damage if the instructions are not followed.
After completing the repair the chain brake must be tested, see “Chain brake – reassembly \ Operating test”.
Always consider the fire risk. A chainsaw can produce sparks that could start a fire.
Inspect the chain catcher and replace it if it is damaged.

Construction and function
Carburettor
The carburettor consists of three sub-systems:
•The metering unit (A) which contains the jets and the fuel control mechanism. This measures out the right amount of fuel to suit the speed of the saw and the power demand.
•The mixing unit (B) consists of the choke, diffuser jets and throttle valve. This is where the air and fuel are mixed to create a flammable mixture.
•The pump unit (C) pumps fuel from the tank to the metering system inside the carburettor. One side of the pump diaphragm is connected to the crankcase and pulses as a result of pressure changes in the crankcase. The other side of the diaphragm sucks in the fuel.
The carburettor works in different ways depending on the setting:
•Cold start mode
•Idling mode
•Part throttle mode
•Full throttle mode
In the cold start mode the choke valve (D) is completely closed. This increases the vacuum in the carburettor so that fuel is sucked through the diffuser jets faster (E).
In idling mode the throttle valve (F) is closed. Air is sucked through an aperture in the throttle valve and a small amount of fuel is supplied through the diffuser jet (E).
8 – English
Construction and function
In part throttle mode the throttle valve (F) is partially open. Fuel is supplied through the diffuser jets
(E).
In full throttle mode both valves are open and fuel is supplied through all the diffuser jets (E).

Repair instructions
Chain brake – dismantling
1
Disengage the brake by pushing the kickback guard backwards. Unscrew the guide bar bolts and remove the clutch cover, chain and guide bar.
2
Grip the clutch cover carefully in a vice. Release the brake spring by using the kickback guard from the saw as a tool. Engage it with the brake mechanism and turn anticlockwise to activate the brake.
3
WARNING!
Make sure the spring does not fly out and cause injury. Wear eye protection.
Remove the screws and carefully remove the cover from the chain brake spring.
4
Place one hand over the spring and insert a small screwdriver between the bottom end of the spring and the clutch cover. Carefully prise the spring upwards so that it slides onto the screwdriver shaft.
Cleaning and inspection
•Clean and inspect all parts carefully. If there are any cracks or other defects replace the damaged parts with new ones. Always use original parts.
•Measure the thickness of the chain brake band. It must be no less than 0.6 mm at any point.
•Lubricate the elbow joint with grease.

Chain brake – reassembly
1
Bolt the elbow joint to the brake band and tighten to a torque of 1–1.5 Nm.
Locate the elbow joint and connected brake band in their recesses in the clutch cover. Lubricate the recess for the spring with grease.
2
WARNING!
Make sure the spring does not fly out and cause injury. Wear eye protection.
Grip the clutch cover in a vice. Compress the spring with special tool 502 50 67-01 and push it down with your thumb.
3
Fit the cover over the chain brake spring, tightening the screws to a torque of 1–1.5 Nm.
4
Tension the brake spring by using the kickback guard from the saw as a tool. Engage it with the brake mechanism and turn clockwise to release the brake.
5
Turn the chain tensioner anticlockwise as far as it will go.
Refit:
•guide bar
•chain
•clutch cover
NOTE!
After completing the repair the chain brake must be tested as described below.
Operating test:
The engine must not be running during the test.

Repair instructions
Silencer – removal
WARNING!
Do not touch the silencer until it has cooled down, otherwise you may burn yourself.
1
Remove the cylinder cover, silencer support, silencer, gasket and cooling plate.
2
If the saw is fitted with a spark arrestor mesh this must also be removed.
Cleaning and inspection
Clean and inspect all parts carefully. If there are any cracks or other defects replace the damaged parts with new ones.
The spark arrestor mesh is best cleaned with a wire brush. If the mesh is damaged it must be replaced.
If the mesh is blocked the saw will overheat and this will cause damage to cylinder and piston. Never use the saw with a silencer that is in poor condition. Always use original parts.
Silencer – refitting
1
If the saw is equipped with a spark arrestor mesh this should be fitted first.
2
Refit
•cooling plate
•gasket
•silencer, tighten bolts to a torque of 8–10 Nm.
•silencer support
•cylinder cover
3
Run the saw for at least 1 minute, then retighten the silencer bolts to 8–10 Nm.
Chain catcher – replacement
If the chain catcher is worn it must be replaced with a new one.
1
Release the brake by pushing the kickback guard backwards. Undo the guide bar bolts and remove the clutch cover, chain and guide bar.
2
Remove the chain catcher and replace it with a new one. Check that the vibration damping spring locates correctly against the crankcase when you bolt the new chain catcher in position.
A worn (damaged) chain catcher on 340, 345 or 350 can be replaced with the same chain catcher as 346XP, 351 and 353 (see figure above).
3
Turn the chain tensioner anticlockwise as far as it will go.
Refit:
•guide bar
•chain
•clutch cover

Stop switch – removal
1
Remove the cylinder cover and air filter.
2
Disconnect both leads from the stop plate and stop switch. Remove the stop plate by carefully sliding it over the lug on the front mounting.
3
Carefully prise the carburettor assembly off the lefthand rubber mounting using a small screwdriver.
4
Carefully prise the stop switch’s upper mounting off the air filter holder while lifting the switch to release it from the lower mounting.
Cleaning and inspection
Clean and inspect all parts carefully. If there are any cracks or other defects replace the damaged parts with new ones. Always use original parts.
Stop switch – resistance measurement
Clean the mating surfaces and check the resistance as follows:
Measure the resistance by connecting a multimeter to the ignition coil. NOTE! The switch must be in the “on” position to give the correct reading.
The resistance must not be higher than 0.2 ohm when the switch is in the on position.
