How do I start a Stihl chainsaw?
Each STIHL chainsaw product listing includes the relevant instruction guides, providing detailed information on safe operation, maintenance, and proper usage. These guides are easily accessible within the product listing, ensuring users can quickly find the instructions they need to operate their chainsaw correctly and confidently.
How to tighten the chain on a Stihl chainsaw?
1) Switch off the chainsaw - turn off the engine. If you have a cordless chainsaw, remove the battery.
2) Release the chain brake - pull the chain brake handle towards you to release the chain brake.
3) Loosen the wingnut - pull out the handle on the wingnut for the quick chain tensioner, then loosen it without removing it – just one turn is usually enough.
4) Lift up the chainsaw guide bar by the tip and hold it with one hand - continue to hold it this way throughout steps 5 and 6.
5) Turn the adjustment wheel clockwise to tighten the chain until it fits closely to the underside of the guide bar.
6) Retighten the wingnut by hand and fold the handle back in.
7) You can let go of the chainsaw guide bar after you have folded the wingnut handle back in.
8) Wearing protective gloves, pull the chain to see if it moves around easily to check the tension. The chain should move around the guide bar without a problem but also fit snugly to the bottom of it. Try lifting the top part of the chain at the middle of the guide bar too; it shouldn’t lift more than around 5 mm.
