English
If the diamond abrasive chain sags too
much, this leads to significantly
increased wear of the diamond abrasive
chain and chain sprocket – retension the
diamond abrasive chain – see
"Tensioning the diamond abrasive
chain."
A new diamond abrasive chain must be
retensioned more frequently than one
that has been in use already for an
extended period.
After a long period of full-throttle
operation
After a long period of full-throttle
operation, allow engine to run for a while
at idle speed so that the heat in the
engine can be dissipated by flow of
cooling air. This protects engine-
mounted components (ignition,
carburetor) from thermal overload.
After finishing work
Short-term storage
Wait for engine to cool down. Keep the
machine with a full tank of fuel in a dry
place, well away from sources of
ignition, until you need it again.
Clean and dry guide bar and diamond
abrasive chain, and spray with STIHL
multispray – in particular the bearing of
the sprocket nose – corrosion protection.
Do not spray engine unit!
