Why Stihl MS 194 T Chainsaw has smoke or burning smell while cutting?
- TTracey LopezJul 28, 2025
If you notice smoke or a burning smell while cutting with your Stihl Chainsaw, it could be due to several reasons. Ensure the chain is properly sharpened; if not, sharpen it. Check the chain oil level in the tank and fill it up if it's insufficient. The chain lubrication system may be supplying insufficient oil, in that case, do not use the chainsaw and contact your STIHL servicing dealer for assistance. Also, check that the chain is not over-tensioned and tension it properly if needed. Finally, ensure that the chainsaw is being used correctly; have the correct use explained and practice.
