To start the Jonsered CS2253 chainsaw, ensure the chain brake is engaged, set the choke to the start position, pull the starter handle until the engine fires, then push the choke in and continue pulling until the engine starts.
The recommended fuel mixture for the Jonsered CS2253 chainsaw is 50:1, which means 50 parts gasoline to 1 part two-stroke engine oil.
If the chainsaw won't start, check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is clean and properly gapped, inspect the air filter for blockages, and verify that the choke is in the correct position.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning or replacing the air filter, checking and sharpening the chain, inspecting the spark plug, and ensuring the chain oil reservoir is filled.
To adjust the chain tension, loosen the bar nuts, turn the tensioning screw until the chain sits snugly against the bar, and then retighten the bar nuts. Make sure the chain can still move freely.
If the chain is not cutting properly, it may need sharpening. Ensure the chain is correctly tensioned and sharpened using a round file that matches the chain's specifications.
The spark plug should be inspected and replaced if necessary every season or after 100 hours of use, whichever comes first.
When storing the chainsaw, clean it thoroughly, empty the fuel tank, and store it in a dry place with the chain cover on. Consider lubricating the chain and bar to prevent rust.
If the chainsaw is smoking, it could be due to an incorrect fuel mixture, a clogged air filter, or an overfilled oil reservoir. Check these components and adjust as necessary.
Always wear protective gear, such as gloves, goggles, and ear protection. Keep the chain brake engaged when not cutting, and ensure you have a stable stance while operating the chainsaw.
