N Disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet.
N Wear work gloves to protect your
hands.
N Disengage the chain brake: Pull the
hand guard (1) against the front
handle and hold it there – the chain
brake and coasting brake are
disengaged in this position.
N The chain must fit snugly against
the underside of the bar and it must
still be possible to pull the chain
along the bar by hand.
N If necessary, retension the chain.
A new chain has to be retensioned more
often than one that has been in use for
some time.
N Check chain tension frequently –
see chapter on "Operating
Instructions".
For automatic and reliable lubrication of
the chain and guide bar – use only an
environmentally compatible quality
chain and bar lubricant. Rapidly
biodegradable STIHL BioPlus is
recommended.
NOTICE
Biological chain oil must be resistant to
aging (e.g. STIHL BioPlus), since it will
otherwise quickly turn to resin. This
results in hard deposits that are difficult
to remove, especially in the area of the
chain drive and chain. It may even cause
the oil pump to seize.
The service life of the chain and guide
bar depends on the quality of the
lubricant. It is therefore essential to use
only a specially formulated chain
lubricant.
WARNING
Do not use waste oil. Renewed contact
with waste oil can cause skin cancer.
Moreover, waste oil is environmentally
harmful.
NOTICE
Waste oil does not have the necessary
lubricating properties and is unsuitable
for chain lubrication.
Preparations
N Thoroughly clean the oil filler cap (1)
and the area around it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
N Position the machine so that the
filler cap faces up.
Opening the filler cap
N Raise the grip until it is upright.
