Owner's Manual
Replace the chain sprocket
after using two Oilomatic chains
- or even sooner if the wear marks
on the sprocket are deeper than approx.
0.5 mm (
1
/
64
") since this would reduce
the life of the chain.
Check wear marks:
- on teeth of spur sprockets.
You can use gauge * 0000 893 4101
to check the depth of the wear marks
on spur and rim sprockets.
It is best to use two chains in rotation
with one sprocket.

Storing the Machine
For periods of about 3 months or longer:
•
••
•
Drain and clean the fuel tank in a
well ventilated area.

••
•
Run engine until carburetor is dry -
this helps prevent the carburetor
diaphragms sticking together.
•
••
•
Remove the saw chain and guide
bar, clean them and protect
with corrosion inhibiting oil.
•
••
•
Thoroughly clean the machine -
pay special attention to the
cylinder fins and air filter.

•
If you use a biological chain and
bar lubricant, e.g. STIHL Bioplus,
completely fill the chain oil tank.
•
••
•
Store the machine in a dry and high
or locked location - out of the
reach of children and other
unauthorized persons.
