NOTICE
The CLOSED position of the choke lever enriches the
fuel mixture for starting a COLD engine. The OPEN
position provides the correct fuel mixture for normal
operation after starting, and for restarting a warm
engine.

The engine speed has been set at the factory.
Changing the governor speed could damage the blade
and/or the saw.
