► If the indicator lamp (1) stays on for longer

than 2 seconds in an overload situation, the

power supply is interrupted and the saw is

switched off automatically – release the trigger

switch, then restart the saw.

► If the saw then restarts at a reduced RPM, it is

overheated and switches off automatically

after about 10 seconds – release the trigger

switch, allow the saw to cool down for about

one minute, then restart. If the saw again

restarts at a reduced RPM, it has not cooled

down sufficiently – allow it to cool down for as

long as necessary until it restarts at normal

RPM.

► If the indicator lamp continues to flash rapidly ,

the carbon brushes are worn – unplug the

machine and have the carbon brushes

replaced by a STIHL servicing dealer.

► If the indicator lamp continues to flash slowly,

either the motor or the electronics have a mal‐

function – unplug the machine and have it

repaired by a STIHL servicing dealer.

The indicator lamp glows only as long as the trig‐

ger switch is operated.
The indicator lamp flashes briefly to confirm it is

functioning every time the motor is switched on.

18 Operating Instructions

18.1

During operation

► Check level in chain oil tank.

► Top up with chain oil when the "min" mark is

reached, or earlier – see "Filling the Chain Oil

Tank".

18.1.1

Check chain tension frequently

A new chain has to be retensioned more often

than one that has been in use for some time.
18.1.2

Chain cold

Tension is correct when the chain fits snugly

against the underside of the bar and can still be

pulled along the bar by hand. Retension if neces‐

sary – see "Tensioning the Saw Chain".
18.1.3

Chain at operating temperature

The chain stretches and begins to sag. The drive

links must not come out of the bar groove – the

chain may otherwise jump off the bar. Retension

the chain – see "Tensioning the Saw Chain".

NOTICE

The chain contracts as it cools down. If it is not

slackened off, it can damage the drive shaft and

bearings.

18.2

After finishing work

► Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet.

► Slacken off the chain if you have retensioned it

at operating temperature during cutting work.

NOTICE

Always slacken off the chain after finishing work.

The chain contracts as it cools down. If it is not

slackened off, it can damage the drive shaft and

bearings.

18.2.1

Storing for a long period

► Turn the guide bar over – every time you

sharpen the chain and every time you replace

the chain – this helps avoid one-sided wear,

especially at the nose and underside of the

bar.

► Regularly clean the oil inlet hole (1), the oil‐

way (2) and the bar groove (3)

► Measure the groove depth – with the scale on

the filing gauge (special accessory) – in the

area used most for cutting
