Winter Operation
Check operation of chain brake
Before starting work: Run engine at idle
speed, engage the chain brake (push
hand guard toward bar nose).
At temperatures below +50 °F (10 °C):
Accelerate up to full throttle for no more
than 3 seconds – the chain must not
rotate. The hand guard must be free
from dirt and move freely.

Chain brake maintenance
The chain brake is subject to normal
wear. It is necessary to have it serviced
and maintained regularly by trained
personnel, such as your STIHL servicing
dealer, at the following intervals:
Pre-heat carburetor

Remove the carburetor box cover
in the carburetor box cover, move
the slide from summer position (1)
to winter position (2)

(temperatures below 14 °F (-10 °C),
powdered or drifting snow), it is
recommended to break out the insert in
the cover along the perforated outline
using a suitable tool.

Heated air is now drawn in from around
the cylinder and mixed with cold air –
this helps prevent carburetor icing.
every 12
months
This causes only warm air from the
vicinity of the cylinder to be taken in –
prevents icing of air filter and carburetor.
Above +70 °F (20 °C), always
return the slide to the position for
"summer operation" again! Risk of
engine malfunction – overheating!

if the chain saw is extremely cold
(frost formation) – after starting,
bring the engine up to operating
temperature at increased idle speed
(disengage chain brake!)

Replace the HD filter with a
standard filter
When used with pre-heating of intake
air, heavier fouling of the air filter may
occur – shorten cleaning intervals.
Replace the carburetor box cover
and tighten the knob
