Stihl 038 - Chain lubricant; Fill chain lubricant

Chain lubricant
Only ecologically acceptable, high-
quality chain oil - preferably STIHL
chain lubricant with non-fling additive
or the rapidly biodegradable STIHL
Bioplus - should be used
for automatic, durable lubrication of the
saw chain and guide bar.
The quality of the lubricant has a decisive
effect on the service life of the saw chain
and guide bar. Only special-purpose
chain oil should therefore be used!
One of the following HD single-range
oils may be used in exceptional cases if
a special-purpose chain lubricant is not
available.
At outside temperatures of
+10°C...+40°C SAE 30
+10°C...—-10°C SAE 20
—10°C...—30°C SAE 20W/10W
Waste oil must not be used! Waste oil
does not have the required lubricating
properties and is unsuitable for chain
lubrication.
Waste oil is environmentally harmful and
can cause skin cancer as a result of
prolonged and repeated contact!

© Thoroughly clean the filler cap and
surrounding area so that dirt cannot
fall into the tank.
@ Fill with chain lubricant - whenever
the chainsaw is refuelted.
Asmall amount of lubricant remains in
the oil tank when the fuel tank is empty.
If the amount of lubricant in the oil tank
does not decrease, this may be due to a
fault in the lubricant supply: check lubri-
cation of the chain, clean the oil ducts
and contact the STIHL service centre if
necessary.
