English ► 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 After Finishing Work 17.1 Preparing for Transportation or Storage WARNING ■ To reduce the risk of personal injury from unin‐ tended activation or unauthorized use, shut off the engine and engage the chain brake before transporting the chain saw or putting it down. To reduce the risk of injuries from the sharp cutters on the chain, always cover the guide bar with the chain scabbard before transport‐ ing or storing the saw. To prepare the saw for transportation or storage: ► Shut off the engine, 15. ► Release the chain brake and loosen the chain, 12.2. ► Re-engage the chain brake. ► Slide a chain scabbard over the guide bar so that it covers the entire guide bar. ► Before using the saw, remember to re-tension the chain. NOTICE ■ The chain contracts as it cools down. Failing to loosen the chain after finishing work can damage the drive shaft and bearings. 18 Transporting 18.1 Transporting the Chain Saw When transporting the chain saw: 17 After Finishing Work ► Slide a chain scabbard over the guide bar so that it covers the entire guide bar. ► When transporting the saw by hand, hold it by the front handle with the guide bar pointing backwards, opposite the direction in which you are walking. Place the muffler away from the body. ► When transporting the saw in a vehicle, cover the guide bar with a chain scabbard. Secure and position the chain saw to prevent turn‐ over, fuel spillage, impact and damage. Your saw comes standard with a chain scabbard that matches the cutting attachment. If you use guide bars of different lengths on the saw, the length of the chain scabbard must be matched to the guide bar to reduce the risk of injury. It should cover the full length of the guide bar. 19 Storing 19.1 Storing the Chain Saw WARNING ■ Store the chain saw indoors in a dry, secure place that cannot be accessed by children or other unauthorized users, 5.4. Improper storage can result in unauthorized use and damage to the chain saw, 5.4. When storing the saw short-term: ► Wait for the 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. When storing the saw for thirty days or longer: ► Drain and clean the fuel tank in a well ventila‐ ted area. Dispose of fuel properly in accord‐ ance with local environmental requirements. ► If the chain saw is equipped with a manual fuel pump: Press the manual fuel pump at least 5 times. ► Start the engine and run it at idling speed until it stops. ► Remove the chain and guide bar. 0000-GXX-2156-A0 36 0458-200-8621-A
