Operation Manual

•
Thorougly clean the filler cap 
and the area around it to ensure
that no dirt falls into the tank.
•
Fill up with chain oil.
•
Check oil level regularly during
operation.
•
Top up chain oil tank when
the "min" mark  is reached.
If the oil level does not drop, this may be
due to a fault in the oil supply system:
Check chain lubrication, clean the
oilways, contact your STIHL dealer for
assistance if necessary.

if the kickback force of the saw is high
enough:
The hand guard is accelerated toward
the bar nose - even if your left hand is
not behind the hand guard, e.g.
during felling cut. The chain brake will
operate only if the hand guard has not
been modified in any way.

Before starting work:
The hand guard must be free of dirt and
move freely.
•
Disengage the chain brake.
•
Switch on the saw.
•
Push hand guard in direction of bar
nose. The chain brake is working
properly if the chain comes to a
standstill within a few fractions of a
second.

The chain braking system is subject to
normal wear. It must therefore be
checked and serviced regularly by
trained personnel (e.g. STIHL dealer)
at the following intervals:
Full-time professional
users: every 3 months
Semi-professional
(farm and construction
industry): every 6 months
Hobby and
occasional users: every 12 months
