Testing Chain Lubrication
WARNING
■ Never operate your saw without bar and chain
lubrication. If the chain runs dry, the cutting
attachment will be damaged beyond repair
within a very short time. A damaged chain
may break, resulting in severe or fatal per‐
sonal injury. Always check chain lubrication
and the oil level in the tank before starting
work and periodically during work.
To confirm that the chain oil is flowing properly:
► Insert the battery,
► Disengage the chain brake,
► Point the guide bar toward a bright surface.
► Switch on the chain saw,
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 lubrication 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.

Preparing for Transportation or
Storage
WARNING
■ To reduce the risk of personal injury from unin‐
tended activation or unauthorized use, switch
off the chain saw, engage the chain brake and
remove the battery 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 transporting or storing
the saw.
To prepare the saw for transportation or storage:
► Switch off the chain saw,
► Engage the chain brake,
► Remove the battery,
► Release the chain brake and loosen the chain.
► Re-engage the chain brake.
► Slide a chain scabbard over the guide bar so
that it covers the entire guide bar.
► If the battery or chain saw became wet during
operation, allow them to dry separately and
completely before charging or storing,
► 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.
