Introduction
This service manual contains

detailed descriptions of all the
typical repair and servicing
procedures for this power tool.
Refer to the illustrated spare parts
lists during all repair work. These
lists show the installation position
and order in which the individual
parts and modules should be
assembled.
Refer to the latest edition of the
relevant parts list to check the part
numbers of any replacement parts
required.
A fault on the machine may be due
to several causes. To help locate
the fault, consult the chapter on
"Troubleshooting" and the
"STIHL Service Training System"
for all function groups.
The special tools mentioned in the

descriptions are listed in the chapter
"Special Servicing Tools" of this
manual. Use the part numbers to
identify the tools in the STIHL
Special Tools manual.
It lists all the special servicing tools
currently available from STIHL.
Symbols are included in the text and
pictures for greater clarity.
The meanings are as follows:
In the text:

Refer to the "Technical Information"

bulletins for engineering changes
which have been introduced since
publication of this service manual.
Technical information bulletins also
supplement the parts list and
service manual until an updated
edition is issued.

Servicing and repairs are made

considerably easier if the machine
is mounted on assembly stand (3)
5910 890 3100. For this purpose,
secure the clamp (2) 5910 890 2000
to the assembly stand with two
screws (1). Engage the adjusting
screw and stud in the outer holes of
the clamp and secure the chainsaw
with the nut (arrow).
The sprocket cover and bar and
chain must be removed first; pull the
hand guard back against the front
handle for this purpose.
Always use original STIHL
replacement parts.
They can be identified by the STIHL
part number
STIH) logo
and the
STIHL parts symbol (
The symbol may appear alone on
small parts.

Safety Precautions
Specific national safety regulations

and the safety instructions in the
instruction manual must be
observed if the machine has to be
started up during maintenance or
repair work.
Petrol is highly inflammable and can
also be explosive under certain
conditions.
Improper handling may result in
burns and other serious injuries.
Do not bring any fire, flame, spark or
other source of heat near the fuel.
All work with fuel must be performed
outdoors only. Spilled fuel must be
wiped away immediately.

Tightening Torques
DG screws are used in polymer and light metal components. These screws form a permanent thread when they
are installed for the first time. Screws can be removed and installed as often as necessary without impairing the
strength of the screwed assembly, provided that the specified tightening torque is observed.
For this reason, it is essential to use a torque wrench.

Use the following procedure when refitting a DG screw in an existing thread:

Place the screw in the hole and rotate it anticlockwise until it drops down slightly.
Tighten the screw clockwise to the specified torque.
This procedure ensures that the screw engages properly in the existing thread and does not form a new thread
and weaken the assembly.
Screwdriver speed when used in plastic material: DG screws max. 500 rpm.

Checking Operation of
Chain Brake
The chain brake is one of the most

important safety devices on the
chainsaw. Its efficiency is measured
in terms of the chain braking time,
i.e. the time that elapses between
activating the brake and the saw
chain coming to a complete
standstill. The shorter the braking
time, the better the efficiency and
protection offered against being
injured by the rotating chain.
The coefficient of friction is impaired
by contamination (with chain oil,
chips, fine particles of abrasion,
etc.) and smoothing of the friction
surfaces on the brake band and
clutch drum. This in turn reduces
the frictional forces and thus
prolongs the braking time. A
fatigued or stretched brake spring
has the same negative effect.

The sprocket must engage the

studs (arrow) of the wormwheel.

Rewind starter
General
If the action of the starter rope

becomes very stiff and the rope
rewinds very slowly or not
completely, it may be assumed that
the starter mechanism is in order
but plugged with dirt. At very low
outside temperatures, the
lubricating oil on the rewind spring
may thicken and cause the spring
windings to stick together. This has
a detrimental effect on the function
of the starter mechanism.
To clean the rewind spring, it is
sufficient to apply a few drops of a
standard solvent-based degreasant
not containing any chlorinated or
halogenated hydrocarbons to the
rewind spring.
Carefully pull out the starter rope
several times and allow it to rewind
until its normal smooth action is
restored.

Pressure is equalized via the tank
vent. A negative pressure must not
build up inside the tank. The tank

Fuel Intake
14.7.1 Pick-up Body
Impurities which are entrained into
the fuel tank with the fuel are
trapped by the pick-up body. With
time, the fine pores in the pick-up
body become clogged with very fine
dirt particles. This reduces the
intake diameter and fuel can no
longer be delivered in sufficient
quantities.
Always check the fuel tank and pickup body first if problems develop in
the fuel supply. Clean the fuel tank if
necessary.
