English
► Fold the grip down.
Tank cap is locked.
If the oil level in the tank does not go down, the
reason may be a problem in the oil supply sys‐
tem: 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 author‐
ized STIHL servicing dealer.

13 Checking Chain Lubrication

► Place the cap on the opening and rotate it
counterclockwise until it engages the filler
neck.
► Continue rotating the cap counterclockwise
(about a quarter turn) – this causes the bottom
of the cap to be turned to the correct position.
► Turn the cap clockwise and lock it in position –
see section on "Closing".
13 Checking Chain Lubrica‐
tion
The saw chain must always throw off a small
amount of oil.
NOTICE
Never operate your machine without chain lubri‐
cation. If the chain runs dry, the whole cutting
attachment will be irretrievably damaged within a
very short time. Always check chain lubrication
and the oil level in the tank before starting work.
Every new chain has to be broken in for about 2
to 3 minutes.
After breaking in the chain, check chain tension
and adjust if necessary – see "Checking Chain
Tension".
