Chain Lubricant
For automatic and reliable
lubrication of the chain and guide
bar – use only an environmentally
compatible quality chain and bar
lubricant with non-fling additive
or the rapidly biodegradable
STIHL Bioplus is recommended.
Biological chain oil must be resistant
to aging (e.g. STIHL Bioplus) since
it will otherwise quickly turn to resin.
This results in hard deposits that are
difficult to remove, especially in the
area of the chain drive, clutch and
chain. It may even cause the oil
pump to seize.
The service life of the chain and guide
bar depends on the quality of the
lubricant. It is therefore essential to use
only a specially formulated chain
lubricant.

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.

Filling Chain
Oil Tank
:
Thoroughly clean the oil filler cap
and the area round it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
:
Refill the chain oil tank every time
you refuel.
There must still be a small amount of oil
in the oil tank when the fuel tank is
empty.
If the oil tank is still partly full, the reason
may be a problem in the oil supply
system: Check chain lubrication, clean
the oilways, contact your STlHL dealer
for assistance if necessary.
