Frequently Asked Questions - 493 Shindaiwa
How to start the Shindaiwa 493 chainsaw?
Activate the choke, pull the starter cord until you hear a click, then deactivate the choke and pull again. Make sure the chain does not touch any obstacle.
What fuel/oil mixture to use?
Use a 50:1 mixture (50 parts unleaded gasoline to 1 part special 2-stroke oil). Use high-quality oil for 2-stroke engines.

Remove the filter cover, take out the filter, clean it with soapy water, rinse and dry completely. Never use gasoline or flammable solvent.
What to do if the chainsaw stalls at idle?
Adjust the idle screw (turn clockwise to increase). Also check the spark plug and air filter. If the problem persists, consult a professional.
