To start your Husqvarna 61 saw, ensure the chain brake is engaged, switch the ignition to "On", set the choke, press the decompression valve, and pull the starter handle until the engine starts.
The recommended fuel mix for the Husqvarna 61 saw is a 50:1 ratio of unleaded gasoline to high-quality 2-stroke engine oil.
It is recommended to clean the air filter after every 5 hours of operation or more frequently in dusty conditions.
If your Husqvarna 61 saw won't start, check the fuel level, spark plug condition, air filter cleanliness, and ensure the choke is set correctly.
To adjust the chain tension, loosen the bar nuts slightly, turn the tensioning screw to tighten or loosen the chain, and then retighten the bar nuts.
Use a round file and file guide to sharpen each cutter, maintaining a consistent angle and depth gauge setting. Ensure the chain is properly tensioned before sharpening.
Regularly clean the bar groove and oil holes, check the sprocket for wear, and ensure proper lubrication of the chain and bar with bar oil.
Always wear protective gear, ensure the chain brake is functional, maintain a secure grip, and be aware of your surroundings while operating the saw.
Check for clogged air filters, refuel with fresh mixture, inspect the spark plug, and adjust the carburetor if necessary.
Ensure the saw is turned off and cool. Remove the spark plug boot, use a spark plug wrench to unscrew the old plug, and replace it with a new, properly gapped spark plug.
