16 After Finishing Work

To confirm that the chain lubrication oil is flowing properly:
1
► Check the oil sight glass.
► If the oil level reads below the marking "OIL min" (1), refill
the oil tank with chain oil.
► Connect the chain saw to the power supply.
► Disengage the chain brake, @ 12.2.
► Point the guide bar toward a bright surface.
► Switch on the chain saw, @ 14.1.
The saw chain should throw off a small amount of oil.
If the chain lubrication oil cannot be seen, check the oil
tank for chain lubrication oil.
Refill the tank as necessary.
► Test the saw chain lubrication again.
► If saw chain lubrication oil is still not visible, the chain
lubrication mechanism is not functioning. Take the saw to
an authorized STIHL servicing dealer to be repaired
before use.
