Checking Chain Tension
Shut off the engine.
N
Wear work gloves to protect your
N
hands.
The chain must fit snugly against
N
the underside of the bar and it must
still be possible to pull the chain
along the bar by hand when the
chain brake is released.
If necessary, retension the chain.
N
A new chain has to be retensioned more
often than one that has been in use for
some time.
Check chain tension frequently –

Fuel
This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline and the STIHL two-
stroke engine oil at a mix ratio of 50:1.
Your engine requires a mixture of high-
quality gasoline and two-stroke air
cooled engine oil.
Use mid-grade unleaded gasoline with a
minimum octane rating of 89 (R+M/2)
and no more than 10% ethanol content.
Fuel with a lower octane rating may
increase engine temperatures. This, in
turn, increases the risk of piston seizure
and damage to the engine.
The chemical composition of the fuel is
also important. Some fuel additives not
only detrimentally affect elastomers
(carburetor diaphragms, oil seals, fuel
lines, etc.), but magnesium castings and
catalytic converters as well. This could
cause running problems or even
damage the engine. For this reason
STIHL recommends that you use only
high-quality unleaded gasoline!
Gasoline with an ethanol content of
more than 10% can cause running
problems and major damage in engines
with a manually adjustable carburetor
and should not be used in such engines.
The ethanol content in gasoline affects
engine running speed – it may be
necessary to readjust the carburetor if
you use fuels with various ethanol
contents.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury
from loss of control and / or contact with
the running cutting tool, do not use your
unit with incorrect idle adjustment. At
correct idle speed, the cutting tool
should not move.
If your power tool shows an incorrect
idle adjustment, have your STIHL dealer
check your power tool and make proper
adjustments and repairs.
The idle speed and maximum speed of
the engine change if you switch from a
fuel with a certain ethanol content to
another fuel with a much higher or lower
ethanol content.
This problem can be avoided by always
using fuel with the same ethanol
content.
Use only STIHL two-stroke engine oil or
equivalent high-quality two-stroke
engine oils that are designed for use
only in air cooled two-cycle engines.
We recommend STIHL HP Ultra 2-Cycle
Engine Oil since it is specially
formulated for use in STIHL engines.
Do not use BIA or TCW rated (two-
stroke water cooled) mix oils or other
mix oils that state they are for use in both
water cooled and air cooled engines
(e.g., outboard motors, snowmobiles,
chain saws, mopeds, etc.).
Take care when handling gasoline.
Avoid direct contact with the skin and
avoid inhaling fuel vapor. When filling at
the pump, first remove the container
from your vehicle and place the
container on the ground before filling. To
reduce the risk of sparks from static
