If special chain lubricant is not available, 
you may – in an emergency – use an HD 
single grade or multigrade engine oil 
with a viscosity that suits the prevailing 
outside temperature.

Do not use waste oil!
Medical studies have shown that 
renewed contact with waste oil can 
cause skin cancer. Moreover, waste 
is environmentally harmful!

Waste oil does not have the 
necessary lubricating properties 
and is unsuitable for chain 
lubrication.

:

Thoroughly clean the oil filler cap 
and the area round it to ensure that 
no dirt falls into the tank.

:

Remove the filler cap.

:

Refill the chain oil tank every time 
you refuel.

:

Close the filler cap.

There must still be a small amount of oil 
in the oil tank when the fuel tank is 
empty.

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 servicing dealer for assistance if 
necessary. STIHL recommends that you 
have maintenance and repair work 
performed only by a STIHL servicing 
dealer.

The saw chain must always throw off a 
small amount of oil.

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 
oil level in tank before starting work.

Every new chain has to be broken in for 
about 2 to 3 minutes.

After breaking in chain, check chain 
tension and adjust if necessary – see  
“Checking Chain Tension”.
