Filling Chain Oil Tank English / USA Checking Chain Lubrication If special chain lubricant is not available, you may - in an emergency - use an HD single grade or multigrade engine oil with a viscosity that suits the prevailing outside temperature. Do not use waste oil! Medical studies have shown that renewed contact with waste oil can cause skin cancer. Moreover, waste is environmentally harmful! Waste oil does not have the necessary lubricating properties and is unsuitable for chain lubrication. : Thoroughly clean the filler cap (1) and the area around it to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank. : Fill up with chain oil. : Check oil level regularly during operation. : Top up oil tank when the "min" mark (2) is reached. If the oil level in the tank does not go down, the reason may be a problem in the oil supply system: Check chain lubrication, clean the oilways, contact your servicing dealer for assistance if necessary. STIHL recommends that you have maintenance and repair work performed only by a STIHL servicing dealer. The saw chain must always throw off a small amount of oil. Never operate your saw without chain lubrication. If the chain runs dry, the whole cutting attachment will be irretrievably damaged within a very short time. Always check chain lubrication and oil level in tank before starting work. Every new chain has to be broken in for about 2 to 3 minutes. After breaking in chain, check chain tension and adjust if necessary - see "Checking Chain Tension". 143BA024 KN MSE 140 C, MSE 160 C, MSE 180 C, MSE 200 C 29

English / USA
If special chain lubricant is not available,
you may – in an emergency – use an HD
single grade or multigrade engine oil
with a viscosity that suits the prevailing
outside temperature.
Do not use waste oil!
Medical studies have shown that
renewed contact with waste oil can
cause skin cancer. Moreover, waste
is environmentally harmful!
Waste oil does not have the
necessary lubricating properties
and is unsuitable for chain
lubrication.
:
Thoroughly clean the filler cap (
1
)
and the area around it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
:
Fill up with chain oil.
:
Check oil level regularly during
operation.
:
Top up oil tank when the “min”
mark
(
2
) is reached.
If the oil level in the tank does not go
down, the reason may be a problem in
the oil supply system: Check chain
lubrication, clean the oilways, contact
your servicing dealer for assistance if
necessary. STIHL recommends that you
have maintenance and repair work
performed only by a STIHL servicing
dealer.
The saw chain must always throw off a
small amount of oil.
Never operate your saw without
chain lubrication. If the chain runs
dry, the whole cutting attachment
will be
irretrievably damaged within
a very short time.
Always check chain lubrication and
oil level in tank before starting work.
Every new chain has to be broken in for
about 2 to 3 minutes.
After breaking in chain, check chain
tension and adjust if necessary – see
“Checking Chain Tension”.
