Rewind Starter
To help prolong the wear life of the starter rope, observe the following points:
NPull the starter rope only in the direction specified.
NDo not pull the rope over the edge of the guide bushing.
NDo not pull out the rope more than specified.
NDo not allow the starter grip to snap back, guide it back into the housing slowly – see chapter on "Starting / Stopping the Engine."
Have a damaged starter rope replaced by your dealer before it breaks completely. STIHL recommends that you have servicing and repair work carried out exclusively by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer.
Storing the Machine
For periods of 3 months or longer
NDrain and clean the fuel tank in a well ventilated area.
NDispose of fuel properly in accordance with local environmental requirements.
NRun the engine until the carburetor is dry – this helps prevent the carburetor diaphragms sticking together.
NRemove the saw chain and guide bar, clean them and spray with corrosion inhibiting oil.
NThoroughly clean the machine – pay special attention to the cylinder fins and air filter.
NIf you use a biological chain and bar lubricant, e.g. STIHL BioPlus, completely fill the chain oil tank.
NStore the machine in a dry, high or locked location, out of the reach of children and other unauthorized persons.
Checking and Replacing the Chain Sprocket
NRemove chain sprocket cover, saw chain and guide bar.
NRelease chain brake – pull hand guard against the front handle
Fit new chain sprocket
001BA121 KN
–after use of two saw chains or earlier
–if the wear marks (arrows) are deeper than 0.02 in (0.5 mm) – otherwise the service life of the saw chain is reduced – use check gauge (special accessory) to test
Using two saw chains in alternation helps preserve the chain sprocket.
Use only STIHL original chain sprockets to help ensure reliable functioning of the chain brake.
