It's weird, usually the Husky Auto-tune are set up properly from factory. But anyway, after 5 minutes, your saw is set and will remain!

The saw may be "tuned" at the factory in Sweedishland which may be at one elevation and political leaning and it might get shipped to a completely different environment or to the U.S. and they may be using a different fuel. Heck it may even be run by some hill billy in NJ whom thinks all you should do with a saw is fill it up and run the snot out it for the next twenty years or so and never sharpen the chain.

My take on the manual instructions is find a large log and cut a number of cookies at wide open throttle for 3-5 minutes. The saw will tune itself for altitude, climate, fuel quality, etc. If any of these parameters change significantly, repeat to retune. Pretty slick, seems to me. Stock power/weight ratio is high. Nice saw.

Yup...The book says to run between 8k-12k for 3-5 minutes without letting off.
You're not supposed to let the RPM drop below 8,000 (Easier said,than done)
