Tank cap is locked.
If the oil level in the tank does not go
down, the reason may be a problem in
the oil supply system: Check chain
lubrication, clean the oilways, contact
your dealer for assistance if necessary.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer.
If the tank cap cannot be locked in the oil
tank opening
Bottom of cap is twisted in relation to
top.
N Remove the cap from the oil tank
and check it from above.
N Place the cap on the opening and
rotate it counterclockwise until it
engages the filler neck.
N Continue rotating the cap
counterclockwise (about a quarter
turn) – this causes the bottom of the
cap to be turned to the correct
position.
N Turn the cap clockwise and lock it in
position – see section on "Closing".
The saw chain must always throw off a
small amount of oil.
NOTICE
Never operate your machine without
chain lubrication. If the chain runs dry,
the whole cutting attachment will be
irretrievably damaged within a very short
time. Always check chain lubrication and
the oil level in the tank before starting
work.
Every new chain has to be broken in for
about 2 to 3 minutes.
After breaking in the chain, check chain
tension and adjust if necessary – see
"Checking Chain Tension".
