Do not start the engine unless the clutch and clutch drum
!
are fitted.
!
Do not touch hot parts, e.g. silencer and clutch, before they
have cooled sufficiently to avoid burn injuries.
!
Avoid getting petrol or oil on the skin or in the mouth. Use
protective cream on the hands. This reduces the risk of
infection and makes it easier to wash off dirt. Prolonged
exposure to engine oil can be hazardous to health.
!
Never start the engine indoors. The exhaust fumes are
toxic!.
Wipe up spilled oil immediately from the floor to avoid
!
slipping.
!
Do not use tools which are worn or have a poor fit, e.g. nuts
and screws.
+Always work on a clean work bench.
+Always work in a logical way to make sure that all parts are
correctly fitted and that screws and nuts are tightened.
+Use special tools where so recommended in order to do the
work correctly.
Fire hazard
Handle petrol with respect since it is highly inflammable.
Do not smoke, and make sure that there are no naked flames or
sparks in the vicinity.
Make sure that there is a functioning fire extinguisher in the
vicinity.
Do not try to extinguish a petrol fire with water.
Use an anti-spill fuel can.
Special tools
Some work procedures in this Workshop Manual require the
use of special tools. In each section where this is appropriate
the tool and order number are illustrated.
We recommend the use of special tools partly to avoid personal
injury and partly to eliminate expensive damage to the
components in question.
Sealing surfaces and gaskets
Make sure that all sealing surfaces are clean and free from the
residue of old gaskets. Use a tool which will not damage the
sealing surface when cleaning it. Scratches and irregularities
are removed with a fine, float cut file.
Sealing rings
Always replace a sealing ring which has been dismantled. The
sensitive sealing lip can easily be damaged and result in poor
sealing capacity. The surface which the seal seals must also be
completely undamaged. Lubricate the sealing lip with grease
before it is fitted and make sure that it is not damaged, e.g. by
the shoulder and splines on a shaft. Use tape or a conical
sleeve as protection. It is important that the sealing ring is
correctly turned for it to function as intended.
Toxic fumes
Read the instructions carefully when using cleaning liquids.
Make sure that there is adequate ventilation when handling petrol
and other viscous liquids.
The engine exhaust fumes are toxic. Test run the engine outdoors.

The engine is fitted with an electronic ignition system consisting of flywheel, ignition coil and trigger
unit.
The ignition system has no moving parts. A defective
component cannot be repaired but must be replaced
with a new one.
The ignition spark in an electronic ignition system
has a very short burn time and may therefore be
experienced as weak, and sometimes be difficult to
see during trouble shooting.

NOTE!
During all test running of the cutting saw the
clutch and clutch cover must be fitted before the
engine is started!
Principle of the ignition
system
The ignition system is completely enclosed and no after-adjustment of the
ignition point is possible or necessary.
The ignition module is built up of an iron
core (C). Round this lies the primary coil
(A) which consists of a small number of
turns of thick copper wire. Outside this
lies the secondary coil (B) which has a
F
very large number of turns of copper
wire.
The trigger unit (F) is fitted on the
secondary coil and has the purpose of
breaking the current (D) in the primary
winding at exactly the right time, i.e. just
before the piston reaches the top dead
centre.
When the permanent magnet (1) on the
flywheel passes the ignition module’s
iron core, an electric current is generated
in the primary coil (A). At the breaking
moment the current in the primary coil
rises from 5 volts to approx. 200 volts by
means of induction.
In the secondary coil (B) a high voltage
(approx. 20 000 volts) is simultaneously
transformed to the spark plug.
Models K650,K700, K950 and K1250
have a built-in overspeeding protection
in the electronic unit which limits the
unloaded speed of the engine to about
9 750 rpm.
The ignition module components are
completely enclosed to protect them from
moisture and dirt.
In the event of a failure in the ignition
module it must be replaced with a new
one.

Checking ignition spark
Clean the electrodes and check the
electrode gap.
If the electrodes are worn down more
than 50% the plug should be replaced.
Checking ignition spark
Dismantle the plug and clean it from soot
by means of a wire brush.
Check the electrode gap. It should be 0.5
mm (.020 in).
Adjust the gap to the correct distance with
the side electrode.
If the electrodes are worn down more
than 50% the plug should be replaced.
If the gap is too wide this results in strain
on the ignition module and the risk of
short circuiting.
Check if there is a spark by pulling the
engine over with the starter.
Try with test plug No. 502 71 13-01 if
there is no spark.

When the filter and covers are fitted it is
very important to make sure that all the
seals are undamaged and correctly
positioned.
Seals which do not seal properly result in
less efficient centrifugal cleaning and rapid blockage of the air filter.
Increased wear on the piston and cylinder barrel as a result of inferior air cleaning
shortens the engine’s service-life.
Centrifugal cleaning (Active)
Mod. 650, 700
Considerably longer cleaning intervals for the air filter are achieved by using the
centrifugal force during the filtering of the intake air to the carburettor.
By means of using the centrifugal force the heavier impurities are thrown out towards
the periphery of the air spiral and on past the cylinder.
The air to the carburettor is taken up by the centrifugal cleaning nozzle and the finer
impurities are effectively captured in air filter.
For centrifugal cleaning to be as efficient as possible it is important that:
1. The centrifugal cleaning nozzle is clean from deposits.
2. The connection of the nozzle to the carburettor chamber is tight.
3. The nozzle attachments are not broken.
4. The fan spiral and air conductor are clean.
The centrifugal cleaning nozzle is accessible for cleaning or replacement after
dismantling the starter unit and air conductor.

Carburettor design
D

C
The carburettor can be divided into three
different functional units: the metering
section, mixing section, and pumping
section.
Metering section
The nozzles and control function for the
fuel are placed here.
The mixing section
The fuel and air are mixed here.
Carburettor design
The carburettor can be divided into three
different functional units: the metering
section, mixing section, and pumping
section.
Metering section
The nozzles and control function for the
fuel are placed here.
The needle valve (C) and metering diaphragm (D) are vital parts for the functioning of the carburettor.
The mixing section
The fuel and air are mixed to the correct
proportions in this part of the carburettor.
The choke (E) and throttle valves (F) are
placed here.
The main jet nozzle is located in the
middle of the venturi (the narrowest point
on the inlet).
E
Pumping section
This pumps fuel from the tank to the
carburettor.
H
G
Pumping section
The pump diaphragm (G) which pumps
fuel from the tank to the carburettor’s
metering unit is located here.
The membrane is activated by pressure
variations in the engine crankcase via an
impulse channel (H).
If the channel is blocked, e.g. by grease
or an incorrectly turned gasket, the pump
will not function and the engine will not
start.
Jets
A A
EPA-models have fixed carburettor jets, which means that the fuel/air mixture can not
be adjusted manually.
The right-hand carburettor in the illustration has fixed jets (A).
The nozzles can be cleaned and possibly changed once the sealing plugs have been
removed.

Speed limiter
Mod. 650, 700
A speed limiter is fitted on the side of the carburettor housing.
The speed limiter is fixed with Loctite and should not be released during servicing of
the carburettor.
When the engine speed is less than 9,200 rpm the ball seals the extra fuel channel (A).
The pressure of the spring presses the ball against the seat with a precise proven
A
pressure.
9600 r/min
When the engine speed exceeds the speed limit (9,600 ± 400 rpm) the spring-loaded
ball opens the extra fuel channel (A). The engine thereby receives extra fuel, begins to
putter and stops overspeeding.
Compensation insert for blocked air filter
The carburettor has been fitted with a compensation insert to prevent the engine
receiving an increasing amount of fuel as the air filter becomes blocked. This transfers
the underpressure in the carburettor’s inlet to the top of the metering diaphragm, as
opposed to the atmospheric pressure in a standard carburettor. The pressure difference
between the top and bottom of the diaphragm therefore remains constant and does not
increase as the air filter becomes blocked. The fuel supply to the carburettor’s main jet
nozzle is therefore always maintained at the correct level.
Check that the small O-ring (A) is in place
when the air filter union is installed.
A
It is important for correct function of the
compensation device that the O-ring is
neither damaged or missing.
