for assistance if necessary STIHL
recommends that you have servicing
and repair work carried out exclusively
by an authorized STIHL servicing
dealer.
Checking Chain
Lubrication
Chain Brake
The chain brake system on your saw
has two functions:
N
Standard STIHL Quickstop chain
brake and
N
STIHL Quickstop Plus chain brake
system
The standard STIHL Quickstop chain
brake utilizes the front hand guard as the
activating mechanism and is designed to
stop the chain within fractions of a
second. The STIHL Quickstop Plus
chain brake system, on the other hand,
is designed to stop chain rotation within
a second of the operator fully releasing
the rear handle.
The saw chain must always throw off a
small amount of oil.
To reduce the risk of personal injury or
property damage during cutting,
observe the characteristics that make
this saw different from saws not
equipped with a rear-handle-activated
STIHL Quickstop Plus chain brake
system. Before operating the chain saw
for the first time, make sure you are
familiar with how the STIHL Quickstop
Plus chain brake system works.
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 the oil
level in the tank before starting
work.
Every new chain has to be broken in for
about 2 to 3 minutes.
After breaking in the chain, check chain
tension and adjust if necessary – see
"Checking Chain Tension".
