:Thoroughly clean the oil filler cap and the area round it to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank.
:Remove the filler cap.
:Refill the chain oil tank every time you refuel.
:Close the filler cap.
There must still be a small amount of oil in the oil tank when the fuel tank is empty.
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 servicing dealer for assistance if necessary. STIHL recommends that you have maintenance and repair work performed only by a STIHL servicing dealer.

The saw chain must always throw off a small amount of oil.
Never operate your saw 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 oil level in tank before starting work.
Every new chain has to be broken in for about 2 to 3 minutes.
After breaking in chain, check chain tension and adjust if necessary – see “Checking Chain Tension”.
