Engine

maintenance

The engine is tested and preset at the factory.
During its first 10 to 15 hours of operation the engine

should not be run continuously under maximum load. Cut-
ting should, however, always be carried out at full engine

speed.

Clean the cooling fins and air intake screen regularly or

the engine will run hot and be damaged by overheating.
Check the spark plug about every second week. The gap

between the electrodes should be 0.020 inch (0.5 mm). The

spark plug has a relative short service life in a two-cycle
engine. The manufacturers recommend spark plug replace-
ment every 75 hours of operation. Make sure you get

the right spark plug with the correct heat value, i.e. the

same type as that originally installed by the factory.

Bar and chain installation

A. Clutch guard.
B. Inner bar plate.

C. Bar mounting studs.
D. Chain tensionpin.
E. Oil hole.

F. Outer bar plate.

The saw is suppliedwith the chain and bar removed.
Follow thesesteps for installation of the chain and bar.
Remove the clutch guard (A) and the outer bar plate '(F).

Check that the oil hole (E) in the bar is clear through to
the chain.

Fit the chain on the bar and over the sprocket. Then put

the bar over its mounting studs (C). Check that cutter

edgesare facing forward on top of bar.

Make sure that the chain tension pin (D) fits into the hole
in the bar. Replace the outer bar plate (F) and the clutch

guard (A). Tighten the two bar nuts finger-tight, just

enough to keep the bar in position.

Hold the bar tip up, and tension the chain by turning the

adjusting screw clockwise. There should be a light tension
in t),.. chain, but it should still move around the bar freely

wh\...lulled by hand.

Tighten the two bar nuts securely with the universal
wrench supplied.

Fuel.mix

The fuel tank capacity is I* US pints (0.8 liter). The
octane rating

of the fuel should be about 85.

Contact your Jonsereds dealer concerning the grade of

oil to be used when preparing the fuel mixture.
Prepare the fuel mixture in a separate gas can, and shake

well before filling the tank. Make sure the can is free
from impurities. Use a funnel with filter when filling the

tank.

Chain lubrication

The oil tank capacity is * US pint (0.3 liter). Chain

lubrication is automatic. There is no risk

of the chain

running without oil. Always use special saw chain oil

with good adhesion.
Choose the right grade of oil, i.e. with suitable viscosity

for the time of the year.

Never use oil whichis too thin for the climate.

When filling the oil tank, check for impurities in the oil
which can ruin the oil pump.

The use of waste oil for chain lubrication is absolutely
prohibited!

Starting the engine

Read about "Fuel mix" and "Chain lubrication" on page
3 before filling the tanks with fuel mixture and chain

lubrication oil.
See that the ignition switch is not in the "Stop" position.

Place the saw on the ground. Make sure that no stones
or twigs are in contact with the chain.

Pull out the choke control (1) all the way. Press down the
safety catch (2) and squeeze the throttle trigger (3). Lock

the trigger in this position with the throttle catch (4).
Insert your foot in the rear handle. Pull out the starter

rope about 4 inch (10 em) until the starter pawls engage.

Pull the starter handle with a smooth, rapid stroke.

Push the choke control in as soon as the engine fires. Then

pull the starter handle again to start the engine.
When the engine starts, squeeze the throttle trigger to

release the throttle catch, and the engine runs at idle

speed.

To start a warm engine, leave the choke control pushed

in and the throttle trigger in idle position.

Carburetor

Fuel adjustment is made with three screws (H, Land T).

H=High speed fuel adjustment needle.
L =Low speed fuel adjustment needle.

T =Idle speed adjustment screw.

Rough adjustment. Carefully turn the fuel adjustment
needles Hand L all the way in, then back them up one

full turn (counter-clockwise).

Caution! Do not attempt to twist the needles too hard

since this could damage the needles and their seats beyond
repair.

Fine adjustment. Start the engine. Adjust to correct idle
speed by turning the idle screw (T) until the engine idles
as fast as possible without the chain moving. There must
always be a safe margin between engine idle speed and
clutch engagement speed.

If the engine falters or hesitates to accelerate when the
throttle is quickly squeezed, slowly turn the low speed
needle (L) counter-clockwise in small steps, checking the
acceleration. The setting of the high speed needle (H) also
mfects acceleration. For good idle, do not open the low
speed needl~ (L) more than necessary.

If the engine tends to race, open the high speed needle
(H) slightly (i.e. turn counter-clockwise), Smoky exhaust

gases indicate too rich a setting. After final adjustments,

the needle (H) must be at least * turn from. the bottom,

and the needle (L) at least I turn from the bottom. A

leaner setting results in the engine racing and possible

seizing.

Note. Always make sur.e that the air filter is clean before
carrying out carburetor adjustments.

,

Fuel filter

On the end of the gasoline hose inside the tank thet:e is a
plummet which also functions as a fuel filter. For cleaning

or replacement, pull out the plummet through the fuel

tank filler opening.

Air filter

Clean the air filter once daily with soapy water, gasoline

or kerosene to ensure that the engine always gets the

corr~~t fuel/air mixture. A clogged air filter interferes
wil~llooth running and increases gas consumption.

Oil pump

Chain and bar lubrication is automatic. Normally the oil
pump requires no attention. However, clean oil and a
clean oil tank are necessary to ensure trouble-free func-
tion. Use only approved chain saw oil.

See the arrow for the position of the oil pump.
The flow of oil to the chain can be regulated by an adjust-

ing screw accessible through the opening under the saw.
See the figure.

The oil pump is factory-set for normal lubrication.
For normal setting, first turn the adjusting screw clock-

wise as far as it will go. (In this position the oil flow is
shut off.) Then back the screw off approximative 111 to

2 turns.
N~~ tighten the adjusting screw beyond the point of

reSiST'dnce.
The oil feed setting should be such that the oil and the

fuel tanks run empty at the same time.

Oil

strainer

(
(

A clogged strainer screen is easily cleaned as follows.
Remove the strainer cap and the screen. Drain off the

remaining oil. Clean the screen. Fill the oil tank half full

with fuel mixture or kerosene and shake thoroughly. Drain

off, and fill th~ oil tank with fresh saw chain' oil. Check
that the chain lubrication system is in working order.

Never use waste oil!

Clutch

The clutch drum bearing should be lubricated regularly.
Use a grease gun. See figure. Before greasing, make sure
tIp"lubrication hole is free from dirt.

Ignition system

Breaker point gap adjustment

Remove the starter assembly, the magneto flywheel, and
the cover over the breaker point assembly. Fit the flywheel
nut and turn the crankshaft until the breaker points are
at their widest distance apart. The gap should then be

0.016 inch (0.4 mm). If not, adjust the position of the
fixed point.

Ignition timing
The ignition timing is set at the factory to 0.080 inch

(2 mm) before TDe. Turn the magneto mounting plate
against the crankshaft's normal direction of rotation to
advance the ignition timing. To retard the timing, turn
the plate in the same direction as that or the crankshaft.

The distance between the flywheel and the ignition coil
core should be 0.012 to inch (0.30 mm).

5. Capacitor.

Recoil/starter

To replace the starter spring or the nylon rope, remove
the center screw and lift out the rope drum and return
spring assembly.

Install the starter rope as shown in the figure.

Fit the spring to the underside of the drum and place the
parts in the fan housing. Tension the spring after assem-
bling by inserting the rope in the drum recess and turning

the drum clockwise.
Replacing the fan housing: Pull out the rope about 1Y2

feet (50 cm). Place the fan housing over the flywheel and

let the rope rewind itself. The starter pawls will then

engage correctly.

Lubricate the return spring through the hole in the fan
housing. Use light oil of the ATF type.

Roller nose bars should be lu6ricated with automotive
grease or SAE 140 transmissi'on lubricant when fueling,

or \' 'east twice per day. Use a grease gun. See figure.
The"-(omplete nose roller can also be soaked in a pan of

oil overnight.
Motor oil is recommended for the nose roller in winter

use.

Runninginanew chain

Soak the chain in saw chain oil.
Install the chain as described on page 3. Start the engine

and let the chain run slowly for a few minutes.
Check that the oil pump is delivering oil.
Stop the engine and adjust the chain tension. Start the

engine and warm up the chain by making four or five
cuts in a sapling.

Stop the engine. Allow the chain to cool down, and re-
adjust chain tension.

Continue adjusting until the chain does not stretch any
more.

The chain must always be cold when carrying out this
adjustment.

Never touch the chain while the engine is running!

o

Turn the bar over every workday to equalize wear on
rails. Clean out the bar groove and oil holes.

File the edges of the bar rails once every week to main-
tain a proper shape free from burr. See figure.

Never use a badly worn bar. It will shorten chain service
life.

maintenance

The chain can be sharpened with the chain fitted on the

bar, but it should then be given a little extra tension.

The chain supplied has a top plate filing angle of 30°
wich is suitable ,fur most types of wood. Maintain this

angle until _tbe chain cannot be filed back any more.
Using a file holder makes it easier to obtain the correct

angles. If the angle index of the file holder is kept parallel
with the bar, a top plate filing angle of 30° is automati-
cally obtained. By pressing the flat side of the file holder
against the cutter top plate, the file will automatically be
at the correct height.

File the chain to an 85° side plate angle, i.e. inclined
slightly forward.

Use a 7/32" file (5.5 mm) for a 3/8" chain, and a 3116"file
(4.8 mm) for a 0.325" chain.

Hold the file horizontally, and file away from you. Apply
pressure on the forward strokes only.

After sharpening all the cutters, check and adjust the
depth gauge setting. The chain supplied has a depth gauge
setting of 0.025 inch (0.65 mm) which can be increased to

0.030 inch (0.75 mm) when cutting softwood.
To ensure the same depth gauge setting on all the links,

use a file jointer designed for a 3/8" or 0.325" chain re-
~.--~tively.

~er rivet a chain yourself. Contact a service workshop
with the special tools for this kind of work.

If any of the links have to be replaced, new links must be
filed back to the same size as the other links.

Safety precautions

1. Make sure you know the regulations governing the
use of chain saws in your country.

2. The operator must be fully instructed about the oper-
ation and maintenance of the chain saw before using

it.

3. The centrifugal clutch must be adjusted to provide
a safe margin between idle speed and clutch engage-
ment speed. Never use a saw with a chain that creeps
at idle speed.

4. Before starting the engine, make sure that the saw
is standing firmly on the ground and that there is no
risk of the chain coming into contact with any ob-

struction.

5. Never adjust the bar or chain while the engine is

runmng.

6. When felling a tree make sure the undercut is suffi-
ciently deep.

7. If the undercut is made with the chain saw, make
sure that both cuts are made to the same depth. This
is facilitated by making the top cut first.

8. Never make the felling cut below the level of the
undercut. A small section of wood should be left un-

cut to act as a hinge while the tree is falling. This
permits the tree to fall in the desired direction. There-
fore, do not cut all the way through to the undercut,
or you will lose control over the direction of fall.

9. Use a felling lever. This should be inserted into the
felling cut as soon as the bar has reached sufficient
depth.

10. Include a felling lever and a cant hook in your equip-
ment.

II. Before felling a tree, make sure that nobody is\wfld-

ing nearby. When shouting a warning, remember that
it may be drowned by the noise of the saw engine.

12. When sawing with the top side of the bar the saw
may kick back, particularly when starting to cut.
Cutting should always be done at full throttle. This
danger is also present if the chain at the top side of
the bar catches in a cut while sawing with the bottom
side of the bar. Carry out cutting in such a way that
this does not happen.

13. When carrying the saw between cuts, hold it with one
hand with the bar pointing forward and with the
chain disengaged at idle speed. When carrying an
idling saw, keep your finger away from the throttle
trigger.

14. When the saw is being transported, the chain should
be removed or securely covered.

IS. Keep smokers and flames away from saw while fuel-

ing or carrying out fuel adjustments. Do not fill the
fuel tank while the engine is running.

16. Move the saw five or ten feet away from refueling
area to avoid the risk of spilled fuel being ignited by

exhaust flames.

17. Do not store the saw or fuel in the house or in any
place where there is a fire hazard. Store fuel in ap-

proved gas cans (not glass or plastic containers). Re-
member that gasoline fumes in empty cans are 1-'-~ly

explosive. '-'

18. Never start the engine indoors. Exhaust gases are
poisonous.
