N Place the cap on the opening and
rotate it counterclockwise until it
engages the filler neck.
N Continue rotating the cap
counterclockwise (about a quarter
turn) – this causes the bottom of the
cap to be turned to the correct
position.
N Turn the cap clockwise and lock it in
position – see section on "Closing".
For automatic and reliable lubrication of
the chain and guide bar – use only an
environmentally compatible quality
chain and bar lubricant. Rapidly
biodegradable STIHL Bioplus is
recommended.
Biological chain oil must be resistant to
aging (e.g. STIHL Bioplus) since it will
otherwise quickly turn to resin. This
results in hard deposits that are difficult
to remove, especially in the area of the
chain drive and chain. It may even cause
the oil pump to seize.
The service life of the chain and guide
bar depends on the quality of the
lubricant. It is therefore essential to use
only a specially formulated chain
lubricant.
Do not use waste oil. Renewed contact
with waste oil can cause skin cancer.
Moreover, waste oil is environmentally
harmful.
Waste oil does not have the necessary
lubricating properties and is unsuitable
for chain lubrication.
Preparing the machine
N Thoroughly clean the filler cap and
the area around it to ensure that no
dirt falls into the tank
N Always position the machine so that
the filler cap is facing upwards
N Open the filler cap
Filling Chain Oil Tank
N Refill the chain oil tank every time
you refuel
Take care not to spill chain oil during
refilling and do not overfill the tank.
STIHL recommends use of the STIHL
filling system for chain oil (special
accessory).
N Close the filler cap
There must still be a small amount of
chain oil in the oil tank when the fuel tank
is empty.
