2 – English Arrangement of the manual This workshop manual can be used in two different ways. • To repair a specific sub-assembly on a chainsaw. • To dismantle and reassemble a complete chainsaw. Repairing a specific sub-assembly If a specific sub-assembly on the chainsaw needs to be repaired: 1. Look up the page referring to the relevant sub- assembly. 2. Follow the instructions under the headings: Removal/Dismantling Cleaning and inspection Refitting/Reassembly Dismantling and reassembling the entire chainsaw If the entire chainsaw is to be dismantled, follow the instructions under the heading “Removal/ Dismantling”. Work through the manual and follow the instruc- tions given in each section under the heading “Removal/Dismantling”. Then follow all the “Cleaning and inspection” instructions in each section. Working from the back of the manual, follow all the instructions under the headings “Refitting/ Reassembly” in reverse order. Each of the sections covering removal/dismantling and refitting/reassembly include the relevant lubrication instructions and bolt torques for each stage of repair. Construction and function This chapter gives a simple description of the chainsaw carburettor and its various parts. Introduction Troubleshooting These pages describe the most common faults that affect a chainsaw. They are divided into four different groups with the most likely faults de- scribed first. Repair instructions The section that describes how to repair the chainsaw consists of detailed, step-by-step instruc- tions. It explains in detail the special tools, lubri- cants and bolt torques that are needed when working on each component. This workshop manual covers the following chainsaw models: 340 345 346XP 350 351 353
English – 3 General instructions This workshop manual gives detailed instructions on how to troubleshoot, repair and test a chainsaw. This section also describes the various safety precautions that should be taken when carrying out repairs. The workshop manual has been written for person- nel who are assumed to have general experience of repairing and servicing chainsaws. Workshops where chainsaws are repaired must be equipped with safety equipment that meets local regulations. No-one should carry out repairs on a chainsaw until they have read and understood the contents of this workshop manual. Chainsaws are type-approved to meet the relevant safety legislation, but this only applies when the saw is fitted with the cutting equipment specified in the user’s manual. The fitting of any other equip- ment, or of accessories or parts that are not approved by Jonsered, could mean that the saw no longer meets these safety requirements and the person who carried out the work may be held responsible for its non-conformance. In this workshop manual the following boxes indicate where caution should be taken. Special instructions The fuel that is used in a chainsaw poses the following hazards: • The fuel and its fumes are toxic. • May cause irritation to skin or eyes. • May cause breathing difficulties. • Highly flammable. When using compressed air the air jet should never be pointed at the body. Air can be forced into the bloodstream and cause fatal injury. Wear ear protection when testing saws. After testing a saw do not touch the silencer until it has cooled down. The silencer gets very hot and you may burn yourself. Wear protective gloves when working on the silencer. The guide bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake) must be fitted before the saw is started. If not, the clutch may come loose and cause injury. Poor chain lubrication can result in failure of the chain, which could cause serious or fatal injury. Take care to ensure that the spring inside the starter assembly does not fly out and cause injury. Wear eye protection. If the spring is under com- pression when the pulley is removed it could fly out and cause injury. Before removing the tensioning spring from the chain brake, ensure that the brake is in the on position, otherwise the spring may fly out and cause injury. After completing the repair the chain brake must be tested, see “Chain brake – reassembly \ Operating test”. Always consider the fire risk. A chainsaw can produce sparks that could start a fire. Inspect the chain catcher and replace it if it is damaged. WARNING! The warning text warns of the risk of personal injury if the instruc- tions are not followed. NOTE! The warning text warns of the risk of material damage if the instructions are not followed. Safety regulations

8 – English The carburettor works in different ways depending on the setting: • Cold start mode • Idling mode • Part throttle mode • Full throttle mode In the cold start mode the choke valve (D) is completely closed. This increases the vacuum in the carburettor so that fuel is sucked through the diffuser jets faster (E). In idling mode the throttle valve (F) is closed. Air is sucked through an aperture in the throttle valve and a small amount of fuel is supplied through the diffuser jet (E). Construction and function Carburettor The carburettor consists of three sub-systems: • The metering unit (A) which contains the jets and the fuel control mechanism. This measures out the right amount of fuel to suit the speed of the saw and the power demand. • The mixing unit (B) consists of the choke, diffuser jets and throttle valve. This is where the air and fuel are mixed to create a flammable mixture. • The pump unit (C) pumps fuel from the tank to the metering system inside the carburettor. One side of the pump diaphragm is connected to the crankcase and pulses as a result of pressure changes in the crankcase. The other side of the diaphragm sucks in the fuel.
English – 9 Construction and function In part throttle mode the throttle valve (F) is par- tially open. Fuel is supplied through the diffuser jets (E). In full throttle mode both valves are open and fuel is supplied through all the diffuser jets (E).
