Oil Quantity Control - Stihl MS 461 R Manual De Instrucciones

Chain cold
Tension is correct when the chain fits
snugly against the underside of the bar
but can still be pulled along the bar by
hand. Retension if necessary – see
"Tensioning the Saw Chain".
Chain at operating temperature
The chain stretches and begins to sag.
The drive links must not come out of the
bar groove on the underside of the bar –
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
crankshaft and bearings.
After a long period of full-throttle
operation
After a long period of full-throttle
operation, allow engine to run for a while
at idle speed so that the heat in the
engine can be dissipated by flow of
cooling air. This protects engine-
mounted components (ignition,
carburetor) from thermal overload.
After finishing work
Slacken off the chain if you have
N
retensioned it at operating
temperature during work.

NOTICE
Always slacken off the chain again after
finishing work. The chain contracts as it
cools down. If it is not slackened off, it
can damage the crankshaft and
bearings.
Short-term storage
Wait for 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.
Long-term storage
See "Storing the machine"

Oil Quantity Control

1
Different quantities of oil are required for
different bar lengths, types of wood and
cutting techniques.
Use the adjusting screw (1) (on
N
underside of machine) to vary the oil
feed rate as required.
Ematic position (E), medium oil feed
N
rate – turn the adjusting screw to "E"
(Ematic position).
Turn the adjusting screw clockwise
N
to increase oil feed rate.
Turn the adjusting screw
N
counterclockwise to reduce oil feed
rate.
When using as rescue saw:
Turn the adjusting screw (on
N
underside of machine) clockwise as
far as stop to obtain maximum oil
feed rate.
NOTICE
Your chain must always be wetted with a
film of lubricant.
