Closing the threaded filler cap
N Position cap.
N Turn the cap clockwise as far as it
will go and tighten it as securely as
possible by hand.
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.
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.
Preparations
N Thoroughly clean the oil filler cap
and the area around it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
N Position the machine so that the
filler cap is facing up.

Chain Lubricant
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.
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.
Filling Chain Oil Tank
A full chain oil tank is sufficient for
only half a tankful of fuel. Check
the oil level regularly during
cutting work. Never allow the oil
tank to run dry.
