After finishing work

: Slacken off the chain if you have
retensioned it at operating
temperature during cutting work.
The chain contracts as it cools
down. If it is not slackened off, it may
damage the gear shaft and
bearings.
Storing for longer period:
See chapter "Storing the Machine".

Storing the Machine

For periods of about 3 months or longer:
: Remove and clean the saw chain
and guide bar, spray with corrosion
inhibiting oil.
: If you use biological chain and bar
lubricant (e.g. STIHL BioPlus)
completely fill the chain oil tank.
: If the KombiTool is stored
separately, fit the protective cap on
the drive tube to avoid dirt getting
into the coupling.
: Store the machine in a dry, high or
locked location – out of the reach of
children and other unauthorized
persons.

Taking Care of Guide Bar

: Turn the bar over –
every time you sharpen the chain –
and every time you replace the
chain – this avoids one-sided wear,
especiallly at nose and underside of
the bar.
Regularly clean
