Why does my Stihl Chainsaw cut out during operation?
Your Stihl chainsaw may be cutting out during operation because it is too hot. Engage the chain brake, remove the battery, and allow the chainsaw to cool down for 20 minutes. Alternatively, there may be an electrical fault. In this case, engage the chain brake, remove and refit the battery, then switch on the chainsaw.
Why does my Stihl Chainsaw run time is too short?
If your Stihl chainsaw's run time is too short, it could be due to the battery not being fully charged, so fully charge the battery. Alternatively, the battery life may have been exceeded, indicating it's time to replace the battery.
What to do if the Stihl MSA 60.0 C Chainsaw battery is not being charged?
If your Stihl chainsaw battery isn't charging, there might be no electrical contact between the charger and battery. Remove the battery and clean the contacts on the charger before reinserting the battery. If that doesn't work, there could be a malfunction in the charger. Do not use the charger and contact your STIHL dealer for assistance.
How to start charging Stihl Chainsaw if charging does not start when the battery is inserted into the charger?
If charging doesn't start when you insert the battery into the charger, the battery might be too warm or too cold. Leave the battery inserted in the charger; charging will begin automatically once it reaches the correct temperature range.
What to do if my Stihl MSA 60.0 C does not start when switched on?
If your Stihl chainsaw doesn't start, several issues could be the cause. First, the battery's charge may be too low, so charge the battery. The battery could also be too warm or cold; engage the chain brake and remove the battery to let it cool down or warm up. There might be a chainsaw fault; engage the chain brake, remove the battery, clean the electrical contacts in the battery compartment, insert the battery, disengage the chain brake, and switch on the chainsaw.
