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.
NOTICE
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.
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.
WARNING
Do not use waste oil. Renewed contact
with waste oil can cause skin cancer.
Moreover, waste oil is environmentally
harmful.
NOTICE
Waste oil does not have the necessary
lubricating properties and is unsuitable
for chain lubrication.
N Check the oil level in the tank before
starting work, during operation and
every time you change the battery,
or when otherwise necessary.
N Refill the chain oil tank after
changing the battery for the second
time at the latest.
If the oil level in the tank does not go
down, the reason may be a problem 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.
Oil filler cap
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
tank cap faces up.
Opening
N Raise handle.
N Twist filler cap counterclockwise
(approx. 1/4 turn).
Markings on filler cap and housing must
align.
