      If the engine of your Stihl chainsaw does not start, the issue might be due to insufficient fuel in the tank. In this case, mix fuel and refuel the chainsaw. Alternatively, the engine could be flooded. If so, clear the combustion chamber.

      If the saw chain on your Stihl chainsaw does not rotate when the throttle is opened, the chain brake may be engaged, so disengage the chain brake. The chain could be over-tensioned, so tension the chain properly. Another possibility is that the bar nose sprocket is blocked; clean it with STIHL resin solvent.

    Why does my Stihl MS 500i W Chainsaw emit smoke or a burning smell when cutting?

      If your Stihl Chainsaw is emitting smoke or a burning smell while cutting, several factors could be at play. The chain might not be properly sharpened, so sharpen the chain properly. There might be insufficient chain oil in the tank, so fill up with chain oil. The chain lubrication system could be supplying insufficient chain oil, so increase the oil feed rate. The chain may be over-tensioned, so tension the chain properly. Finally, the chainsaw might not be used properly, so have correct use explained, then practice.
