Chain brake maintenance
Heated air is now drawn in from around
the cylinder to warm the carburetor – this
helps prevent carburetor icing.
Winter Operation
The chain brake is subject to normal
wear and tear. It must therefore be
checked and serviced regularly by
trained personnel (e.g. a STIHL dealer)
at the following intervals:
At temperatures above +70°F (+20°C):
N
Always return the shutter to the
summer position (s ) to avoid
engine running problems and
overheating.
Preheating the carburetor
Full-time usage:
Part-time usage:
Occasional usage:
every 3 months
every 6 months
every 12 months
N
Remove the shroud – see "Shroud".
At temperatures below 14°F (-10°C)
At temperatures below +50°F (+10°C):
It is advisable to fit the "cover plate" kit
(special accessory) if you use your saw
in extremely cold conditions
(temperatures below 14°F (-10°C), in
powder or drifting snow).
If idling behavior is erratic or
acceleration is poor:
N
Turn the low speed screw (L) 1/4 of
a turn counterclockwise.
N
Use the combination wrench or a
screwdriver to ease the shutter out
of the summer positions.
It is usually necessary to change the
setting of the idle speed screw (LA) after
every correction to the low speed
screw (L) – see "Adjusting the
Carburetor".
N
If your saw is very cold (frost or ice
on machine), start the engine and
keep it at a high idle speed (with
chain brake disengaged) until it
reaches normal operating
1
temperature.
N
Refit the shutter the other way round
in the winter position – the arrow
points to the symbolr – the shutter
must snap into position.
Cover plate
The cover plate (special accessory)
helps prevent snow being sucked into
the machine.
The arrowhead (1) is visible in the winter
position.
When the cover plate is fitted, the
N
