N Shut off the engine
N Wear work gloves to protect your
hands.
N The chain must fit snugly against
the underside of the bar and it must
still be possible to pull the chain
along the bar by hand.
N If necessary, retension the chain.
A new chain has to be retensioned more
often than one that has been in use for
some time.
N Check chain tension frequently –
see chapter on "Operating
Instructions".
A properly adjusted throttle cable is the
precondition for correct operation in the
starting throttle, idle and full throttle
positions.
Adjust the throttle cable only when the
machine is completely and properly
assembled.
N Use a suitable tool to push the slide
to the end of the slot (see
illustration).
N Press down the trigger lockout (1)
and squeeze the throttle trigger (2)
(full throttle position) – this sets the
throttle cable correctly.
This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline and the STIHL two-
stroke engine oil at a mix ratio of 50:1.
Your engine requires a mixture of high-
quality gasoline and two-stroke air
cooled engine oil.
Use mid-grade unleaded gasoline with a
minimum octane rating of 89 ((R+M)/2)
and no more than 10% ethanol content.
Fuel with a lower octane rating may
increase engine temperatures. This, in
turn, increases the risk of piston seizure
and damage to the engine.
The chemical composition of the fuel is
also important. Some fuel additives not
only detrimentally affect elastomers
(carburetor diaphragms, oil seals, fuel
lines, etc.), but magnesium castings and
catalytic converters as well. This could
cause running problems or even
damage the engine. For this reason
STIHL recommends that you use only
high-quality unleaded gasoline!
Gasoline with an ethanol content of
more than 10% can cause running
problems and major damage in engines
and should not be used.
For further details, see
www.STIHLusa.com/ethanol
The ethanol content in gasoline affects
engine running speed – it may be
necessary to readjust the carburetor if
you use fuels with various ethanol
contents.
