Mounting the Bar and Chain
(Side chain tensioner)
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.

t = a : 2
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:
Heavy usage - every three months,
Moderate usage - twice a year,
Occasional usage - annually.
You can run chains of different pitches
on this chainsaw – depending on the
chain sprocket (see “Specifications”):
:
Unscrew the nuts and take off the
chain sprocket cover.
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).

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.
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).
For any maintenance of the emission
control system please refer to the
maintenance chart and to the limited
warranty statement near the end of the
instruction manual.
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.
:
Turn screw (4) counterclockwise
until the tensioner slide (5) butts
against left end of housing slot.
Store chainsaw in a dry place and away
from children. Before storing for longer
than a few days, always empty the fuel
tank (see chapter "Storing the Machine"
in the instruction manual).
