16.3 Testing Chain Lubrication

WARNING
Never operate your saw without bar and chain lubrication. If
the chain runs dry, the cutting attachment will be damaged
beyond repair within a very short time. A damaged chain
may break, resulting in severe or fatal personal injury.
Always check chain lubrication and the oil level in the tank
before starting work and periodically during work.
To confirm that the chain oil is flowing properly:
► Start the engine, @ 14.
► Disengage the chain brake, @ 12.2.
► Point the guide bar toward a bright surface.
► Accelerate the engine.
The chain should throw off a small amount of oil.
If the chain oil cannot be seen, check the oil level and refill
the tank as necessary.
► Test the chain lubrication again.
► If chain oil is still not visible, the lubrication mechanism is
not functioning. Take the saw to an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer to be repaired before use.

17 Adjusting the Carburetor

17.1 STIHL M-Tronic Engine Management System

The STIHL M-Tronic engine management system
electronically controls the ignition timing and fuel metering in
any operating condition, factoring in altitude and fuel quality.
This system provides optimum performance, whether you
are just starting to work or resuming after a break. Manual
carburetor adjustments are no longer required. The
carburetor does not have adjusting screws.

17.2 Calibrating the Chain Saw

WARNING
Before disengaging the chain brake and accelerating the
engine, position the chain saw in such a way that all parts of
your body are clear of the cutting attachment, @ 5.6.3.
The chain saw adjusts itself automatically for optimum
performance during operation. Calibrating enables the saw
to be adjusted faster for optimum performance.
► If the outside temperature is below 14 °F (-- 10 °C) or the
engine is cold, warm up the engine by opening and closing
the throttle for about 1 minute.
