result. If your muffler was equipped with
a spark-arresting screen to reduce the
risk of fire (e. g. in the USA, Canada and
Australia), never operate your saw if the
screen is missing or damaged.
For the proper and effective operation of
the chain brake the brake band and
clutch drum must be kept free of dirt,
grease and other foreign matter which
may reduce friction of the band on the
drum.

For these reasons, each STIHL
chainsaw should be returned to trained
personnel such as your STIHL servicing
dealer for periodic inspection and
servicing of the brake system according
to the following schedule:
Keep the chain, bar and sprocket clean;
replace worn sprockets or chains. Keep
the chain sharp.
You can spot a dull chain when easy-to-
cut wood becomes hard to cut and burn
marks appear on the wood.
You can run chains of different pitches
on this chainsaw – depending on the
chain sprocket (see “Specifications“):
Heavy usage - every three months,
Moderate usage - twice a year,
Occasional usage - annually.
Keep the chain at proper tension.
Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws except
the carburetor adjustment screws after
each use.
The chain pitch (1) must match the guide
bar. The drive link gauge (2) must match
the guide bar groove width (3).
The pitch is marked in inches on
the sprocket and guide bar (e.g. 3/8
or .325) and the groove width is
additionally marked on the bar in
millimeters (e.g. 1.6).
The chainsaw should also be returned
immediately for maintenance whenever
the brake system cannot be thoroughly
cleaned or there is a change in its
operating characteristics.

Warning!
In order for the chain brake on your
STIHL chainsaw to properly perform its
function of reducing the risk of kickback
and other injuries, it must be properly
maintained. Like an automobile brake, a
chainsaw chain brake incurs wear each
time it is engaged.
For any maintenance please refer to the
maintenance chart and to the warranty
statement near the end of this manual.
Additionally, the daily maintenance
schedule for your chainsaw set forth in
your STIHL Owner's Manual should be
strictly followed.
Do not run non-matching
components together (different
pitches or drive link gauges) since
they will otherwise be damaged
beyond repair within a very short
period of operation.
The amount of wear will vary depending
upon usage, conditions under which the
saw is used and other factors. Excessive
wear will reduce the effectiveness of the
chain brake and can render it

from children. Before storing for longer
than a few days, always empty the fuel
tank (see chapter "Storing the Machine"
in this manual).
