You gotta make those cuts right out of the box for the current condition you're gonna use it in right? I'd say it was no different than Husky's procedure just worded different.

Actually, No. Ya made me pull out my booklet! Under M-Tronic - Automatic Adjustment:
"Under extremely changed operating conditions, attainment of the optimal setting can be accelerated as follows: - Carry out five uniform cuts to length under full load." Elsewhere in the website I found where it said full load is 12" or more.
Under "During the Break in Period"
"A new factory machine should not be run at high revs (full throttle off load) for the first three tank fillings. This avoids unnecessarily high loads during the break in period. As all moving parts have to bed in during the break-in period , the frictional resistances in the shortblock are greater during this period. The engine develops its maximum power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings."
There you have it! Also, 5 uniform 12" cuts will only take a minute or two.
I also printed out a brochure on the MS 362 C-M and it says the saw puts out 4.8 Hp even though the website says 4.6 Hp.
And I know there is a lot of debate about this, but I can't imagine Stihl publishing this if it is not true:
"M-Tronic's fully electronic engine control recognizes a cold and a warm start, and adjusts the ignition timing in all operating modes. It also precisely and electronically meters the fuel supply. It even takes into account external conditions such as temperature, elevation and fuel quality."
I believe the on line video says it monitors the engine 32 times per second.
Hope this answers all the questions.
