Adjusting the carburetor

NOTE: The grinding parts are equipped with an electronic ignition to limit the speed.

At the factory the idling speed has been set to approx.

2600 rpm, but the running-in process of a new engine may require slight readjustment of the idling speed.

Adjustments to the adjusting screws (L) and (H) may only be made by an authorised MAKITA service centre.

For correct adjustment of the idling speed the following steps must be carried out:

Start the engine and run it until it is warm (about 3 - 5 minutes).

Adjust the carburetor with the screwdriver (7, Order No. 944

340 001) included with the Power Cut. It has a lug that helps with adjustment.

Readjust the idling speed.

If the cutoff disc turns when the engine is idling, turn the throttle stop screw (T) counter-clockwise in small increments until the disc no longer turns.

If the engine suddenly stops in idle, turn the screw back slightly clockwise.

Switch off the engine.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Before doing any work on the Power Cut turn off the engine, remove the cutting disc, pull the plug cap off the spark plug and wear protective gloves!

CAUTION:

Start the Power Cut only after complete assembly and inspection.
