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:
357XP/G
359/G

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 repair, the chain brake must be checked as
described in the section “Chain brake – 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.

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.

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).
