• engine starts, warms up for 3-5 minutes at medium speed.
• tachometer connected.
• Low speed operation is adjusted with the L screw. need to reach 1-1.5k. RPM. the engine without reversing the chain, and when the gas pedal is pressed, the rpm does not drop. If a fault is found, the screw should be unscrewed until the effect is eliminated.

It is recommended to set it to 5-10% below the highest speed, so as not to provoke increased wear of the gasoline engine.
• The carburetor is fine-tuned with the S screw. When the chain is idling, the screw should be turned counterclockwise as far as it will go. If the gasoline engine is frozen, the screw is unscrewed in a clockwise direction until a measured operation.

What to write on forums: reviews of Oleo-Mac 937 chainsaw

Ilya Dubinin, 35, Moscow Region:

Chainsaw is in its fifth year of use. No damages occurred during this time. even the carburetor has not been adjusted. everything is still on factory settings. The chain saw is equipped with a fairly high-quality bar and chain from the Canadian company Oregon, but now I switched to the Stilev chain, the bar is still the same. The engine starts without any problems in any weather: in both cold and heat. The saw has a low weight, but it has enough power and endurance. Sometimes I use it in quite intensive mode. no problems arise.

Vladislav Kozhemyakin, 50 years old, Novosibirsk region:

What can I say: a European is a European! The only downside was the price, but I understand that you have to pay for quality. Maybe a chain of better quality could have been better. For the other points there are no complaints. The tool is perfectly balanced, has a well-thought-out arrangement of controls, maintenance is not time consuming and does not require any extra effort. I have already replaced the third chain, took apart the clutch, looked at the drive sprocket. all in perfect condition, it is clear that quality materials are used. My considerable value chainsaw Oleo-Mac 937 has already worked off and I think that will work more. If I have to buy a saw, I will choose this maker again.

The advantages: the reliable powerful engine, the convenient arrangement of the controls, the absence of vibration, easy maintenance, economical;

Disadvantages: The price, no other drawbacks identified.
