Owner’s Manual
Any chainsaw is a tool that requires careful handling. The Carver saw is no exception.
The basic rules for operating the tool:
- Like all gasoline-powered devices, the Carver saw needs a running-in period, usually lasting 5 to 7 hours. During this period, the owner operates the saw at about 70% load.
- Use original spare parts and accessories for the chainsaws, and you can also use chains from Husqvarna.
- Use a brand of AI-92 mixed with synthetic motor oil or mineral oil in a good quality blend to deepen the saw;
- The fuel must be fresh and properly mixed. If the ratio is incorrect, the saw may stall immediately after starting; A sign that the fuel contains more oil than necessary is the black smoke from the exhaust.
- Have your chainsaw serviced in a timely manner. It is recommended that you change the fuel mixture to a fresh mix after the running-in period.
- Follow all the recommendations in your Instruction Manual. Your chainsaw is built according to the same principles. It is therefore difficult to make a mistake.
- Follow the safety rules when working with a chainsaw: do not try to cut materials out of wood, do not put the tool into action and protect your face and respiratory system from inhaling exhaust fumes and flying shavings.
Main malfunctions of Carver chain saws:
- The saw won’t start. This may be because the fuel mixture is not mixed properly or not enough to start. If the fuel level is normal, check the condition of the ignition, spark plugs. Replace immediately to find the problem.
- The saw makes loud popping noises during operation and white smoke comes from the exhaust. This is caused by water in the gasoline. This can be caused by various reasons. It is better to remove low-quality fuel and prepare a new mixture. Do not buy cheap motor oils, as the likelihood that you will fall for adulteration is very high.
- The saw has started to see worse. The main reason for this is the chain, which has started to shrink. The problem is solved in two ways: sharpening or replacement.

“In my opinion, the main and not too flattering feature of the cutter is not the best chain. The quality, of course, is tolerable and even for this money. I did not drive long cuffs, gave up half of the tank, developed in the working mode as usual. I’ve seen all kinds of chainsaws, all power and expensive and not so different. But for home I bought a Carver RSG 246 for 1600 watts, the power is more than enough for all kinds of work. Advantages: easy maintenance, fairly compact saw. Included standard manual, guide bar plus chain, nothing special, separately allocated oil and in general I bought in another store. Disadvantages: Have already written about the chain. For anyone at the same time is the chains from European saws. “

- First you need to move the screws marked L and H to the base position. This is indicated in the instruction manual of the tool;
- Then you must start the sawmill and give it time to warm up.
- Once the engine cylinder has warmed up, you must turn the standard L screw clockwise. This should be done until the internal combustion engine reaches maximum revolutions. Immediately thereafter, the bolt should turn a quarter of a turn.
- In addition, the cutter is obliged to connect the tachometer and find the maximum revolutions of the engine. To do this, you must turn the main screws until the tachometer revolutions add up to the indications in the instruction manual of the device.
At the end it is necessary to stop the saw engine and then start again. If the setting is done correctly, the tool’s engine will run at high RPMs without error.
