Closing the filler cap
N To close the oil tank, place the filler
cap in position with the grip upright,
making sure the recesses are in
alignment.
N Turn the filler cap clockwise as far
as stop.
N Fold the grip down so that it is flush

If the oil level in the tank does not go
down, the reason may be a fault in the oil
supply system: Check chain lubrication,
clean the oilways, contact your dealer
for assistance if necessary STIHL
recommends that you have servicing
and repair work carried out exclusively
by an authorized STIHL servicing
dealer.
The saw chain must always throw off a
small amount of oil.
Every new chain has to be broken in for
about 2 to 3 minutes.
After breaking in the chain, check chain
tension and adjust if necessary – see
"Checking Chain Tension".

Checking Chain
Lubrication
Never operate your saw without
chain lubrication. If the chain runs
dry, the whole cutting attachment
will be irretrievably damaged
within a very short time. Always
check chain lubrication and the oil
level in the tank before starting
work.
