Introduction
Arrangement of the manual
Troubleshooting
This workshop manual can be used in two different
ways.
These pages describe the most common faults that
affect a chainsaw. They are divided into four
different groups with the most likely faults de-
scribed first.
• To repair a specific sub-assembly on a chainsaw.
• To dismantle and reassemble a complete
chainsaw.
Repair instructions
The section that describes how to repair the
chainsaw consists of detailed, step-by-step instruc-
tions. It explains in detail the special tools, lubri-
cants and bolt torques that are needed when
working on each component.
Repairing a specific sub-assembly
If a specific sub-assembly on the chainsaw needs
to be repaired:
1. Look up the page referring to the relevant sub-
assembly.
2. Follow the instructions under the headings:
Removal/Dismantling
Cleaning and inspection
Refitting/Reassembly
This workshop manual covers the following
chainsaw models:
Dismantling and reassembling the entire
chainsaw
340
345
346XP
350
351
If the entire chainsaw is to be dismantled, follow
the instructions under the heading “Removal/
Dismantling”.
353
Work through the manual and follow the instruc-
tions given in each section under the heading
“Removal/Dismantling”.
Then follow all the “Cleaning and inspection”
instructions in each section.
Working from the back of the manual, follow all the
instructions under the headings “Refitting/
Reassembly” in reverse order.
Each of the sections covering removal/dismantling
and refitting/reassembly include the relevant
lubrication instructions and bolt torques for each
stage of repair.

Safety regulations
General instructions
Special instructions
This workshop manual gives detailed instructions
on how to troubleshoot, repair and test a chainsaw.
This section also describes the various safety
The fuel that is used in a chainsaw poses the
following hazards:
precautions that should be taken when carrying out • The fuel and its fumes are toxic.
repairs.
• May cause irritation to skin or eyes.
• May cause breathing difficulties.
• Highly flammable.
The workshop manual has been written for person-
nel who are assumed to have general experience
of repairing and servicing chainsaws.
When using compressed air the air jet should
never be pointed at the body. Air can be forced into
the bloodstream and cause fatal injury.
Workshops where chainsaws are repaired must be
equipped with safety equipment that meets local
regulations.
Wear ear protection when testing saws.
No-one should carry out repairs on a chainsaw
until they have read and understood the contents
of this workshop manual.
After testing a saw do not touch the silencer until it
has cooled down. The silencer gets very hot and
you may burn yourself. Wear protective gloves
when working on the silencer.
Chainsaws are type-approved to meet the relevant
safety legislation, but this only applies when the
saw is fitted with the cutting equipment specified in
the user’s manual. The fitting of any other equip-
ment, or of accessories or parts that are not
approved by Jonsered, could mean that the saw no
longer meets these safety requirements and the
person who carried out the work may be held
responsible for its non-conformance.
The guide bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake)
must be fitted before the saw is started. If not, the
clutch may come loose and cause injury.
Poor chain lubrication can result in failure of the
chain, which could cause serious or fatal injury.
Take care to ensure that the spring inside the
starter assembly does not fly out and cause injury.
Wear eye protection. If the spring is under com-
pression when the pulley is removed it could fly out
and cause injury.
In this workshop manual the following boxes
indicate where caution should be taken.
WARNING!
The warning text warns of the risk
of personal injury if the instruc-
tions are not followed.
Before removing the tensioning spring from the
chain brake, ensure that the brake is in the on
position, otherwise the spring may fly out and
cause injury.
After completing the repair the chain brake must be
tested, see “Chain brake – reassembly \ Operating
test”.
NOTE!
The warning text warns of the risk of
material damage if the instructions are
not followed.
Always consider the fire risk. A chainsaw can
produce sparks that could start a fire.
Inspect the chain catcher and replace it if it is
damaged.

Construction and function
The carburettor works in different ways depending
on the setting:
Carburettor
The carburettor consists of three sub-systems:
• Cold start mode
• Idling mode
• Part throttle mode
• Full throttle mode
• The metering unit (A) which contains the jets
and the fuel control mechanism. This measures
out the right amount of fuel to suit the speed of
the saw and the power demand.
In the cold start mode the choke valve (D) is
completely closed. This increases the vacuum in
the carburettor so that fuel is sucked through the
diffuser jets faster (E).
• The mixing unit (B) consists of the choke,
diffuser jets and throttle valve. This is where the
air and fuel are mixed to create a flammable
mixture.
• The pump unit (C) pumps fuel from the tank to
the metering system inside the carburettor. One
side of the pump diaphragm is connected to the
crankcase and pulses as a result of pressure
changes in the crankcase. The other side of the
diaphragm sucks in the fuel.
In idling mode the throttle valve (F) is closed. Air is
sucked through an aperture in the throttle valve
and a small amount of fuel is supplied through the
diffuser jet (E).

Construction and function
In part throttle mode the throttle valve (F) is par-
tially open. Fuel is supplied through the diffuser jets
(E).
In full throttle mode both valves are open and fuel
is supplied through all the diffuser jets (E).

parts with new ones.
The spark arrestor mesh is best cleaned with a
wire brush. If the mesh is damaged it must be
replaced.
If the mesh is blocked the saw will overheat and
this will cause damage to cylinder and piston.
Never use the saw with a silencer that is in poor
condition. Always use original parts.
Remove the chain catcher and replace it with a
new one. Check that the vibration damping spring
locates correctly against the crankcase when you
bolt the new chain catcher in position.
A worn (damaged) chain catcher on 340, 345 or
350 can be replaced with the same chain catcher
as 346XP, 351 and 353 (see figure above).

Repair instructions
If it is not possible to check the maximum speed
with a tachometer then the H jet should not be set
to a weaker mixture than the basic factory setting.
Carburettor – adjustment
For instructions on adjusting the EPA carburettor
see appendix A.
The recommended maximum speed must not be
exceeded.
Adjusting the carburettor involves adjusting the
engine to the local conditions e.g. climate, alti-
tude, fuel and type of two-stroke oil.
NOTE!
The carburettor is equipped with three adjustment
options.
If the chain turns at idling speed, the T
screw should be turned anti-clockwise
until the chain stops.
L = Low speed jet
H = High speed jet
T = Idling adjustment screw
Fine adjustment
Once the chainsaw is “run in” the carburettor should
be readjusted. First adjust the L jet screw, then the
idling screw T and finally the H jet screw.
The recommended engine speeds are as follows:
Model
Max revs
Idle revs
340
345
346XP/G
350
350 EPA
351
12,500 rpm

The L and H jets adjust the fuel flow to match the
airflow that the throttle valve opening allows.
Turning them clockwise makes the fuel/air mixture
weaker (less fuel in relation to the amount of air)
and turning them anti-clockwise makes the fuel/air
mixture richer. A weak mixture increases the
engine speed and a rich mixture decreases the
engine speed.
353
Basic requirements
• Before making any adjustments the air filter
should be clean and the cylinder cover should be
in place. If the carburettor is adjusted with a dirty
air filter, the mixture will be too weak next time
the air filter is cleaned. This can cause serious
engine damage.
The T screw controls the throttle position when
idling. Turning the T screw clockwise gives faster
idling; turning it anti-clockwise lowers idling
speed.
• Carefully screw in the L and H jets fully, then
back them off 1 turn. The carburettor now has the
settings H = 1 and L = 1.
WARNING!
• Start the chainsaw and allow it to warm up for 10
minutes.
The guide bar, chain and clutch
cover must be fitted before the
saw is started, otherwise the
clutch may fly off and cause inju-
ry.
• Place the saw on a flat surface so that the guide
bar is pointing away from you and the guide bar
and chain are not touching the surface.
Basic settings and running in
Low speed jet L
During testing at the factory the carburettor is
adjusted to the basic factory settings.
The factory settings are H = 1 turn and L = 1
turn.
• Find the highest idling speed by slowly screwing
the L screw in and then out again.
• When the highest speed has been found, screw
out the L screw 1/8 - 1/4 turn.
To ensure that engine components receive
adequate lubrication (running in) the carburet-
tor should be set to a somewhat richer fuel
mixture for the chainsaw’s first 3-4 running
hours. This is done by adjusting the maximum
speed to 6-700 rpm less than the recom-
mended maximum speed.

Fine adjustment of idling speed T
Fuel tank – removal
• The idling speed is adjusted using the screw
marked T.
WARNING!
The fuel used in chainsaws is
harmful if inhaled, may cause
skin irritation and is highly flam-
mable.
• If adjustment is necessary, screw in the idling
screw T until the chain starts to turn. Then screw it
out until the chain stops moving.
• The idling speed is correctly set when the engine
runs smoothly in all positions and there is a clear
margin to the speed at which the chain starts to
move.
1
Empty the fuel tank.
2
Remove the following:
High speed jet H
• cylinder cover
• air filter
• The high speed jet H influences the saw power
output and engine speed. If the H jet is set too
weak the saw will over-rev, which could cause
engine damage.
• clutch cover
• chain and guide bar
• starter assembly
• cable guide
• Run the saw at full throttle for about 10 seconds.
H=1.
• Then screw out the H screw 1/4 turn. H=1 1/4.
• Run the saw again at full throttle for about 10
seconds and listen to the difference in the engine
note. Repeat this procedure again with the H
screw screwed out another 1/4 turn. H=1 1/2.
3
Disconnect the fuel hose from the carburettor.
4
• You have now run the saw at settings H 0, H =
+1/4 and H = +1/2 from the factory setting. At full
throttle the engine will sound different at each
setting.
A
C
• The H screw is correctly adjusted when the saw
“burbles” a little at full throttle without any load.
B
• If there is a lot of smoke from the silencer and the
saw does not run smoothly then the setting is too
rich.
• Screw in the H screw to the setting that sounds
right.
NOTE!
For optimum adjustment, a tachometer
should be used. The recommended maxi-
mum speed should not be exceeded.
Disconnect the pushrod from the carburettor by
first carefully prising up the spring over the end of
the rod, where it connects to the throttle lever (A).
Then press the throttle lever forwards (B) while
pressing the throttle pushrod backwards (C) and
lifting it off the lever. Withdraw the throttle pushrod
from the tank and lift it upwards without pulling it
through the rubber inlet manifold.
Carburettor – correct adjustment
• When the carburettor is correctly adjusted the saw
should accelerate without hesitation and the
engine will burble a little at full throttle without any
load.
• The chain must not turn when idling.
• If the L screw is set too weak this can make the
saw difficult to start and cause poor acceleration.
• If the H screw is set too weak the saw will produce
less power, poor acceleration and there is a risk of
engine damage.
• If either the L or H screws are set too rich it will
cause acceleration problems or too low working
speed.

Before replacing the fuel hose, measure the length
of hose between the crankcase and carburettor
and between the tank and crankcase. The correct
hose length between the tank and crankcase is 43
mm (1.69 inches). The correct hose length be-
tween the crankcase and carburettor is 53 mm
(2.09 inches).
Disconnect and remove the fuel hose from the
crankcase.

Guide bar bolts – replacement
Repairing damaged threads
1
A repair kit, 503 27 33-01, is available for repairing
damaged threads.
Drain the oil tank.
2
First drill out the hole using:
Knock through the old guide bar bolt so that it falls
6.1 mm drill bit for magnesium crankcase
into the oil tank.
Then screw in the thread insert using a suitable
bolt and spanner.
3
Remove the bolt from the oil tank.
4
Thread insert
Fasten a steel wire to the thread of the new bolt,
feed the steel wire into the oil tank and out through
the bolt hole in the crankcase.
A damaged thread can be repaired using a thread
insert. The slotted part of the thread insert is
screwed in first, as this is the cutting part.
5
Pull the steel wire until the bolt comes out through
its hole.
To repair a thread that was originally designed for a
PL5 screw: first drill out with a 6.1 mm diameter
drill bit, then screw in the thread insert using a
suitable screw and spanner.
6
Pull through the bolt with its nut. Place a spacer
between the nut and crankcase.
To repair a thread that was originally designed for a
MT6 screw: first drill out with a 7.1 mm diameter
drill bit, then screw in the thread insert using a
suitable screw and spanner.
7
Check that the square shoulder of the bolt is
correctly seated in the recess in the crankcase.
This type of thread insert is best suited for use in
plastic and magnesium, but not for repairing
threads in aluminium. In that case use a helicoil
insert with metric screw.
8
Refill with chain oil.
New part no.

Basic adjustment for EPA II carburetors
After replacing the carburetor or high speed and/or low
speed needle on an EPA (The US Environmental
Protection Agency) certified product a basic adjustment
must be carried out as described below in order to meet
the EPA-requirements. This to achieve as low emissions
as possible. This instruction is made for USA & Canada
only. On EPA carburetors both the H- and L-needles are
fitted with caps to prevent the chain saw operator from
changing the adjustment above EPA standard. The caps
can be removed to achieve richer or leaner adjustments.
To set the needles correctly an adjustment sleeve is fitted
from the factory over the caps to lock them in maximum
allowed settings.

C = 13 700
C = 14 300
7. Check that the H-cap is still adjusted to its richest
setting. (Turned counterclockwise to stop). NOTE!
The H-needle must not rotate!
8. Gently knock the H-cap into position. Use a 5 mm/0.2
inch mandrel (for ex. the locking pin for the bevel gear
ref.no. 502 02 61-03). This is a basic carburetor
adjustment. Further fine adjustments, within the limits
the caps allow, may be necessary to achieve optimum
performance. See the Operator’s manual.
When correctly set the caps must be fixed on the nee-
dles. The adjustment sleeve then can be removed. Over
the caps on complete sparepart carburetor, there is a
plastic sleeve which is intended to lock the caps at the
richest position (anticlockwise towards stop) during the
time that the needles are adjusted. When the adjustment
is complete and the caps have been fixed on the nee-
dles, the sleeve is no longer of any function and can be
removed.
Replacement of the L-needle
1. Take off the cap from the L-needle using e.g. a pair of
cutting pliers and unscrew the needle.
2. Screw the new L-needle to the bottom and then turn it
counterclockwise ”D” turns.

NOTE! On the complete spare part carburetor, the L-
needle is adjusted from the factory.
3. Press a new L-cap on the L-needle to the first stop,
which means that the cap is not fixed to the needle, it
should rotate independently.
NOTE! Before making any adjustments the following
must be done!
• Mount, for this model, approved bar & chain combina-
tion (See Technical data in the Operator’s manual).
4. Adjust the L-cap to the richest position (turned
counterclockwise to stop) without turning the needle.

L-needle 1/2 turn counterclockwise. Use a narrow
blade screwdriver w. ref.no. 531 00 48-63 and insert
through the hole in the cap (max. blade width 2 mm/
0.08 inch) .
2. Check that:
The H-cap is adjusted to its richest setting. (Turned
counterclockwise to stop). The cap is not fixed to the
needle, it should rotate independently. Adjust the L-cap
to a center position (1/4 turn counterclockwise =
minimum, 1/4 turn clockwise = maximum).
NOTE! If the chain rotates, turn the idling speed
screw (T) counterclockwise until the chain stops.
8. Check that the L-cap is still adjusted to its richest
position. (Turned counterclockwise to stop).
3. Start the engine. If necessary, adjust the idling speed
with the T-screw until the chain stops.
NOTE! The L-needle must not rotate!
4. Adjust the H-needle to give a top speed of ”B” rpm.
