To start the Husqvarna RS8500D Saw, ensure that the fuel tank is filled, the choke is set to the correct position, and the safety switch is engaged. Pull the starter handle gently until you feel resistance, then pull it briskly.
If the saw doesn't start, check the fuel level and quality, ensure the spark plug is clean and in good condition, verify that the air filter is not clogged, and make sure the choke and throttle are set correctly.
Regular maintenance for the RS8500D includes checking and cleaning the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, ensuring all bolts are tight, and lubricating the chain. It's also important to clean the saw after each use.
To adjust the chain tension, loosen the bar nuts slightly, turn the tensioning screw to adjust the chain until it fits snugly against the bar but can still be pulled by hand, then retighten the bar nuts.
If the chain is dull, sharpen it using a round file and filing guide, ensuring that you file each cutter to the same length and angle. Alternatively, replace the chain if it's too worn.
For safe storage, clean the saw thoroughly, empty the fuel tank, remove the chain and bar, and store them in a dry, cool place. Use a cover to protect the saw from dust and debris.
Common issues include fuel system problems, a clogged air filter, a worn spark plug, and incorrect chain tension. Regular maintenance can help prevent these problems.
To change the air filter, remove the air filter cover, take out the old filter, and replace it with a new one. Ensure that it fits snugly and replace the cover securely.
Always wear protective gear, including goggles, gloves, and ear protection. Ensure the work area is clear of obstacles, and maintain a firm grip on the saw while operating.
To extend the saw's lifespan, perform regular maintenance, use the correct fuel mix, avoid overloading the saw, and store it properly when not in use.
