STIHL MS 170 180 Chainsaw Owners Manual

English / USA

Mounting the Bar and Chain

(Quick Chain Tensioner)

t = a : 2

You can run chains of different pitches

on this chainsaw – depending on the

chain sprocket (see “Specifications”):

Pull out the hinged handle (4) so

that it snaps into position.

Take out the screw (8).

Turn the wingnut (5) counterclock-

wise until it hangs loose in the

sprocket cover (6).

The chain pitch (1) must match the pitch

of the sprocket and the guide bar (for

Rollomatic). The drive link gauge (2)

must match the bar groove width (3).

Remove the sprocket cover.

The pitch is marked on the chain

sprocket and guide bar in inches

(e.g. 3/8 or .325). The groove width

is marked on the guide bar in

millimeters (e.g. 1.6).

Position the tensioning gear (7)

against the guide bar (9).

If non-matching components of the

wrong pitch or drive link gauge are

run together on the same machine

they may be damaged beyond

repair after a short period of

operation.

Remove the tensioning gear (7)

and turn it over.
