your dealer should have told you.

mine told me to run it like I rented it. To be fair, as I get sued to it, she's getting a pretty easy break in, but the WORST i heard was to take it easy first tank of gas then GO FOR IT!@@

Turn it wide open on the high side?
Pretty sure you don't want to do that - maybe lean it out a little and get the RPMs you want.
If you have run 10 tanks of fuel through the rings should be seated - you may want someone to dial your carb in for you - at least thats the way its sounds.

Yeah, I'm not sure what you mean by that, but if you mean to run it at full throttle in the cut, you're good to go. But if you mean wide open on the carb, then you'll need to take a look at carb adjustment techniques first.

After 10 tanks of gas you should check it / have it checked out with a tach. The 385XP Max RPM is 13000. Your dealer should do this for you at no charge if he is a good guy. We normally set new saws up as rich / slow as the limiter caps will allow. When the come back in after 10 tanks or gas they normally need very little or no adjustment as they tend to increased in rpm as they break in.
