Maintenance, Repair And Storing; Mounting The Bar And Chain - Stihl 036 QS Instruction Manual

5. Logs under strain: Risk of pinching!
Always start relieving cut () at
compression side ($).
Then make bucking cut () at
tension side (%).
If the saw pinches, stop the engine
and remove it from the log.
6. Only properly trained professionals
should work in an area where the
logs, limbs and roots are tangled.
Working in blowdown areas is
extremely hazardous.
7. Drag the logs into a clear area before
cutting. Pull out exposed and
cleared logs first.

Never operate a chainsaw that is dam-
aged, improperly adjusted or not com-
pletely or securely assembled. Follow
the maintenance and repair instructions
in the appropriate section of your
Owner's Manual, especially those in the
chapters " Mounting the bar and chain"
"Maintaining and Sharpening" and
"Chain Brake".
Use only STIHL replacement parts for
maintenance and repair. Use of parts
manufactured by others may cause
serious or fatal injury.

Always stop the engine and ensure that
the chain is stopped before making any
adjustments, maintenance or repair
work, changing the saw chain or cleaning
the saw. Do not attempt any maintenan-
ce or repair work not described
in your Owner's Manual. Have such
work performed at your STIHL service
shop only.

Never test the ignition system with
ignition wire terminal removed from spark
plug or with unseated spark plug, since
uncontained sparking may cause a fire.
:DUQLQJ
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
use only spark plugs authorized by
STIHL. Always press spark plug boot
snugly onto spark plug terminal of the
proper size. (Note: If terminal has
detachable SAE adapter nut, it must be
attached.) A loose connection between
spark plug terminal and ignition wire
connector in the boot may create arcing
that could ignite combustible fumes and
cause a fire. Keep spark plug clean, and
make sure ignition lead is in good
condition.

Do not operate your chainsaw if the
muffler is damaged, missing or modified.
An improperly maintained muffler will in-
crease the risk of fire and hearing loss.
Never touch a hot muffler or burn will
result. If your muffler was equipped with
a spark-arresting screen to reduce the
risk of fire (e. g. in the USA, Canada and
Australia), never operate your saw if the
screen is missing or damaged. Remem-
ber that the risk of forest fires is greater
in hot or dry weather.
Keep the chain, bar and sprocket clean;
replace worn sprockets or chains.
Keep the chain sharp. You can spot a dull
chain when easy-to-cut wood becomes
