after the idle speed screw has been adjusted
tO its capacity.
slippage occurs during a cut.
a chattering noise occurs during cutting.
Clean the clutch, drum, sprocket and surrounding
area daily during heavy use of the saw. Check to see
that the dutch drum turns freely and smoothly.

sprocket will make the chain run er_aticaJly and wilt
