Stihl chainsaws - maintenance, repair and description of popular models


Shtil petrol chain saws are a true standard of quality for gardening equipment. Tools of this brand have earned enormous popularity due to their ease of use, excellent technical characteristics and versatility. We propose to consider the features of working with these chainsaws, as well as the most popular models from this manufacturer.

How to start a Shtil chainsaw - the correct procedure for starting the tool

Running in the Shtil chainsaw must be carried out strictly in accordance with the operating instructions for the tool. In this way, you will extend the life of the main spare parts of the unit and protect its main components from breakdowns.

Each Stihl chainsaw is started for the first time after purchase in this order:

  1. First of all, you need to remove the protective cover and activate the chain brake of the saw by pressing it away from you;
  2. Next, you will need to press the decompression valve to make it easier to start the engine;
  3. After this, press the fuel pump several times;
  4. Move the combination lever to the cold start position;
  5. Place the saw on a flat surface, place your left hand on the saw handle, and with your right hand sharply pull out the starter cable;
  6. As soon as the engine starts and stalls, move the combination lever to the middle position;
  7. Pull out the starter cable again;
  8. As soon as the engine starts again, sharply press the throttle lever to the full throttle position;
  9. Release the brake by pulling the lever towards you;
  10. Start cutting down the branches.

Each time you start working, start the saw only in this order. This will protect the tool from malfunctions and increase its service life.

Start according to instructions

Different models of chainsaws have their own starting features and their own mechanisms. We will look at the device startup algorithm using the example of the popular Stihl MS 180 chainsaw model.

Before starting the startup process, it should be noted that the instructions for some chainsaw models state that before starting the tool, you should apply the emergency stop brake to ensure additional safety. But with a fixed brake, starting will be more difficult .

Accordingly, it will be better to unfix it.

If you do everything correctly, then nothing will be difficult. If you are worried that without fixing the chainsaw at the moment of starting it will cause harm, then it is better not to take risks at all and not get to work. So, the algorithm for launching the Calm tool is as follows:

  • Before starting to wind the tool, the damper adjustment lever should be moved to the lower position. Remember that it moves all the way down on the saw only when the gas button is pressed. Press the gas button and move the lever down. This will close the carburetor valve and lock the gas in the pressed position;
  • Next, vigorously pull the starter handle until you hear the characteristic sound of an attempt to start the tool. It should stall immediately. Then the damper position adjustment lever is moved one step up;
  • In this position, pull the starter handle again until the saw starts. And if it starts, then due to the fact that the gas handle is fixed pressed, the work will take place at high speeds;
  • Then press and release the gas button once so that the throttle adjustment lever automatically assumes the operating position and the speed decreases;
  • If it is necessary to put a heated chainsaw into operation, you need to put the lever in the working position and then start it;
  • To stop the machine's engine, the throttle adjustment lever must be moved to the up position.

What kind of gasoline to pour into a Shtil chainsaw - follow the instructions


This question often worries people who have no experience working with chainsaws. According to the instruction manual, the optimal fuel for refueling saws of this brand is gasoline with an octane number of at least 90. It is very important to buy really high-quality fuel, otherwise you will often encounter gearbox and clutch breakdowns.

Another question is how to dilute gasoline for a Shtil chainsaw to 1 liter. According to the instructions, the ratio of oil to gasoline should be 1:50, that is, 20 ml. oil for 1 liter. fuel.

Without adhering to the proportions specified by the manufacturer, the owner of the saw will eventually notice that the tool does not start well when cold. This is due to the settling of oil residues on the cylinder walls, which block the formation of a spark.

Tool preparation

A chainsaw is a motorized tool that is powered by a two-stroke internal combustion engine. It cannot run on pure gasoline, so to start it requires preparing a gasoline-oil mixture.

Its proportion is simple: for 1 liter of gasoline, grade no lower than A92 (for expensive imported chainsaws, grade no lower than A95), take 20 grams of special motor oil for chainsaws. In the instructions, this proportion is indicated as 1:50. After mixing fuel and oil in a plastic container, open the filler neck and fill the tank with the combustible mixture.

We advise beginners to be careful not to confuse the fuel neck with the neck for filling the oil that lubricates the chain. On some chainsaw models, they are both located on the same side of the body. They can be distinguished by special markings applied next to the hole. You will see a gas station icon on the fuel filler neck. A drop symbol is applied next to the oil filler neck.

Good chain lubrication is an important condition for the high-quality operation of a chainsaw and the long life of the saw bar. The chainsaw operating instructions recommend using only the manufacturer's branded oil.

In addition, it is allowed to fill in high-quality automobile engine oil with a viscosity of W30-W40. We do not recommend using dirty waste and other petroleum substitutes to lubricate the chain.

The mark up to which chain oil is poured into the tank is always located close to the filler neck. When working with a chainsaw, do not forget to periodically glance at it so as not to miss the moment of refilling the tank. In addition to the saw chain, occasionally (once a month) the bar bearing located on its outer end part should be lubricated. Some tires have a special hole there into which a few drops of oil are sprayed using a syringe. Filling the saw with fuel should only be done on a horizontal, hard surface.

Shtil chainsaw does not start - causes and solutions

Each Stihl chainsaw has a lot of advantages. However, even such equipment can fail and simply won’t start. Below are examples of breakdowns that prevent the starting of tools of this brand:

  • Oil floods the spark plug - incorrect proportion of oil and gasoline for a chainsaw Calmness or the use of a low-quality chain lubricant causes oil to get on the spark plug, which creates a spark. The place where the lubricant flows out is the area where the hose of the oil tank and the pump meet. In this case, the leakage area should be sealed with sealant and allowed to dry;
  • No fuel mixture is supplied to the engine. This breakdown is associated with a malfunction of the breather. If a plug has formed in it, you will need to remove it and clean the walls of the breather from accumulations;
  • A Stihl chainsaw may not start if the chain is not lubricated. In this case, you will need to inspect the lubricant reservoir for holes. If a crack has formed in the tank, it should be replaced immediately to avoid problems with the carburetor. Lack of oil supply also causes the chain on a chainsaw to break. The fact is that in the absence of oil, the chain begins to wear out and eventually breaks.

Very often, saw owners are faced with a problem in which the tool starts and stalls - the reason for this lies in a clogged carburetor.
Repairs are carried out with the obligatory dismantling of the element and its complete cleaning of debris; If the tool does not start, this may be due to the fact that there is no spark on the Stihl chainsaw. In this case, experts advise immediately replacing the spark plug;

If your Stihl chainsaw stalls when you press the gas, this is due to a faulty cylinder. Fixing the problem yourself includes inspecting the cylinder and replacing it if it becomes chipped or scratched.

Safety

Properly selected personal protective equipment guarantees work comfort and ensures safety.

For this you will need:

  • A helmet is used to protect the head from falling branches.
  • Headphones that protect your hearing from noise that occurs during work.
  • A special mask that protects the face protects against sawdust and other particles of the processed material.
  • Hand protection includes gloves made of durable leather. Thanks to them you will protect your fingers from splinters and cuts.
  • Leg protection consists of tight-fitting clothing with special inserts. Due to this, you can not be afraid of cuts during work.
  • Safety shoes are made with stable soles and steel toes.

Your clothing should not restrict movement when doing work. It is better to choose tight-fitting jackets and pants so as not to accidentally get caught on the branches of bushes and trees. You should also exclude from your work wardrobe: jewelry, ties and scarves. Long hair should be hidden under a special net.

To ensure complete protection from injury during operation, follow safety precautions such as proper tool preparation and use.

Adjusting the carburetor of a Stihl chainsaw - a detailed algorithm of actions

If your chainsaw stalls when you press the gas, you should adjust the tool's carburetor. Before this, it must be cleaned of contaminants, the spark plug changed, the air filter cleaned and the idle speed adjusted.

The adjustment procedure is as follows:

  • Stop the saw and tighten screws L and H until they stop;
  • Next, unscrew both screws 1 full turn;
  • Start the saw and warm it up;
  • Press and hold the gas lever, while turning screw H until the engine speed becomes stable;
  • Then turn the LA screw until the chain begins to move, and then immediately turn the screw a quarter turn counterclockwise.

After completing these simple manipulations, you can continue working with the chainsaw. If immediately after adjustment you notice that the instrument does not muffle, then you will need to turn the LA screw counterclockwise a little more.

Air filter

The air filter must be periodically cleaned of wood dust. If you have a dull chain, fine sawdust and wood dust are very effective at clogging the filter. Thus, this stifles the air supply, engine performance decreases, fuel consumption increases, the spark plug becomes clogged and problems begin with starting the saw.

The adjustment process is directly related to this point. Adjustments should be made several times a year. First, check the condition of the spark plug and air filter. Then make adjustments according to the instructions. It is good to make adjustments when the seasons change - some settings will be “summer”, others will be “winter”. After all, the temperature of the air entering the engine is a rather important parameter, and its fluctuations can even be up to 50°C per year.

Note! To ensure that your chainsaw works efficiently, entrust the work to specialists who configure and repair chainsaws.

How to choose a Stihl chainsaw - expert advice

The range of Shtil chainsaws is quite large, and in addition, Chinese copies of tools from this famous brand are often found on the market. To avoid getting caught with a non-original saw, you should follow several rules:

  • Carefully review the instrument documentation. The country of origin of most Stihl models is Germany, and it is this country that must be indicated in the unit passport;
  • Inspect the body of the chainsaw - a high-quality original tool should not be scratched, and the paintwork should be distributed evenly and without stains;
  • Make sure the drive sprocket is installed straight and without distortion. Manufacturers from China often “sin” by mounting this part with slight deviations from the vertical axis;
  • Examine the fasteners on the chainsaw - they should be screwed in evenly and have intact “hats”;
  • When first started, an original Stihl chainsaw should not make an incomprehensible knock from the motor, but, on the contrary, should operate smoothly and stably.

Only after making sure that the model you have chosen fully meets all the described requirements can you buy it.

How to choose saw chain oil?

To ensure long-term operation of the saw chain, it must be lubricated with high-quality oil.

It is also important to do this regularly to prevent breakage

Our experts recommend using environmentally friendly and high-quality oil from trusted manufacturers to lubricate the chain and guide bar. And it is highly discouraged to use non-special or low-quality lubricants, as this may affect the operation of the saw and its service life.

We strongly do not recommend that you use used oil as a saw lubricant. Such oil does not have the required quality characteristics and cannot provide sufficient chain lubrication. In addition, this oil has a harmful effect on the skin of the hands and can cause irritation and even skin cancer.

It is also important to choose the right brand of oil that is suitable for your saw. Namely, it is worth filling in oil that is intended for two-stroke engines and class not lower than TC

Specifically for STIHL saws, it is best to use STIHL branded oil. Since our oil is adapted for use in chainsaws, this oil ensures long engine life.

High-quality oil will ensure trouble-free and long-lasting operation of the chainsaw.

Therefore, its choice should be treated with special attention

Homemade products from Shtil chainsaws - learning from folk craftsmen

The high power and simple design of the Shtil chainsaw allows its owners to use the tool for making various useful homemade products. Among the most popular chainsaw products it is necessary to highlight:

  • Grinder – this design is based on a shaft with a bearing unit. One end of the shaft is equipped with a driven pulley, which is driven by a V-belt. The other end of the shaft is equipped with a mandrel to which cutting wheels are attached. This unit can be used for cutting stones, bricks and metal;
  • Wood splitter - to make it you will need to weld a strong metal frame that will hold the saw suspended. The saw element will be fed to the firewood using a guide located in a vertical position. This tool will allow you to cut a large amount of firewood without holding the chainsaw in your hands;
  • Ice screw - you will need to ensure a low auger speed. To do this, use a worm or V-belt gearbox. This motorized drill will help make holes in the ground when building a pile foundation, and can also be used to make holes for winter fishing;
  • The sawmill is another unit that requires the manufacture of a frame and fastening of guides. But unlike a wood splitter, firewood will be fed to the saw element in a horizontal position.

Each of the described devices has found wide application in the household. If necessary, these units can always be disassembled and the engine and other spare parts can be installed back on the chainsaw.

Saw Stihl MS 180 - the best option for a gardener

The design of the saw includes such useful elements as an automatic lubricant supply system, an inertial brake and a vibration damping system.

  • Working weight – 5.1 kg.

This saw is distinguished by its high reliability and durability. The tool kit includes a 50-link chain, a bar, a case and documentation.

Tire care

They always forget to lubricate this crap.
Every few hours of operation, you need to move the tire 180° so that both sides are used, and approximately equally.

Also, every time you fill the tank, you need to lubricate the tire sprocket so that it serves for a long time and normally, for which almost all stores sell special syringes for lubricating the sprocket. The only manufacturer that has solved this issue is Stihl with its Ematic

Very often you can hear advice that if a “dented groove” forms on the guide runners, straighten it with a file, however, if the tire does not properly groove. Moreover, if you do not maintain an ideal right angle between the file and the bar, then the “corrected” bar will last even less, since during operation the chain will wobble in the runners and break them even more strongly.

Models Stihl MS 210 and MS 310 – features and equipment

These tools have almost identical characteristics and are used to harvest large quantities of firewood for further storage or construction.

Technical indicators of the models include:

  • Cylinder volume – 35.5 cm3;

Tool storage

Careful care of the chainsaw guarantees a long service life and safe performance of the job.

It is especially important to pay attention to the storage conditions of the chainsaw after long breaks. To do this, you need to remember a few simple rules:

  • Always empty the fuel tank completely and clean it in a well-ventilated area. After this, run the chainsaw to remove any remaining fuel mixture. This is required to prevent the membrane from sticking together in the carburetor.
  • After each use of the chainsaw, the guide bar and chain are removed for cleaning. Then they should be sprayed with a special protective lubricant.
  • Make sure the storage area is dry. It should also be well ventilated and protected from atmospheric influences. It is not recommended to leave the instrument in the open air.
  • Protect the chainsaw from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
  • It is better to store gas-powered tools in a place that is inaccessible to children and strangers. In this case, it is better to use sealed packaging to prevent dust from getting under the case.

Thus, by following the sequence of all actions, you can ensure the correct and safe start of the tool. Before starting work, you should carefully study the design of the chainsaw and read the instruction manual. If you have any additional questions, you can contact your dealer, who will provide all the necessary information regarding your specific problem.

Saw Stihl MS 360 and MS 231 16 - technical specifications of the model

Each professional chainsaw of these two models has gained popularity among experienced gardeners with large garden plots.

Model specifications include:

  • Cylinder volume – 59.5 and 45 cm3, respectively;
  • Saw power – 4.6 and 3 liters. c. respectively;
  • Each model has a unique chainsaw sharpening level;
  • The volume of the fuel mixture tank is 565 and 400 ml, respectively;
  • Assembled weight – 7 and 5 kg, respectively.

These models have proven themselves well in extreme conditions. They can be used at any time of the year without worrying about the breakdown of important parts of the tools.

Chain tension

You should also be careful not to catch the chain on nails, stones or even the ground when working (for example, when cutting scattered branches lying in the garden). Just one hit on a nail or stone is already a reason to sharpen the chain. The ground causes the chain to dull and slowly destroy the guide bar.

It is better to give the chain for sharpening to someone who is well versed in this. The cost of the service is small. And besides, even if you want to sharpen the chain yourself, it's a waste of time. After all, yours will not be sharpened as well as a specialist who has already sharpened kilometers of such chains.

A well-maintained saw - with a well-functioning engine, a sharpened chain, even a cheap one, as they say - “cuts itself.” Even if it is not a professional chainsaw, it will still help you do such hard work.

How does a chainsaw work?

The design of a chainsaw is not too complicated. The main elements of its construction:

  • Ignition system;
  • Carburetor;
  • Fuel system;
  • Air purification system.

Let's talk about each of them in more detail.

Carburetor

In most chainsaw models, carburetors are located the same way.

They have a flap in the body. With its help, both screws (main and idle), diffuser, pulse channel and incoming connection are adjusted. The damper also regulates the flow of ambient air.

Understanding how a carburetor works will help you tune your carburetor correctly. It works like this:

  • The engine starts, the air damper opens at the bottom of the housing;
  • Vacuum occurs inside the float chamber and in the air passage as the piston moves;
  • Air enters through a diffuser;
  • The fuel mixture enters the float chamber from the gas tank through a fitting;
  • Gasoline is mixed with air in a diffuser;
  • Through the intake channels, the fuel-air mixture enters the combustion chamber.

Using a damper, you can regulate the intensity of air flow into the fuel, using screws to regulate engine speed, and using a jet, the speed at which gasoline enters the diffuser.

Air purification system

Chainsaws are equipped with a pre-cleaning and fine-cleaning system so that the gas used for the air-fuel mixture is of good quality.

The air is pre-filtered with a mesh filter, then with fine filters.

Dirty filters cause less air to enter the carburetor. As a result, engine power decreases. To prevent this from happening, the filters must be constantly cleaned: blown or washed.

Brake

If the chain accidentally touches the tree while spinning, it will roll back. In this case, for safety reasons, the brake must be applied.

The saw's braking system consists of a brake stop and a brake strip. The system can be activated in two ways: contact (the brake stop presses on the worker’s hand) and inertial (with a sharp impact on the tire, inertial forces appear that act on the brake).

How to start a chainsaw correctly

Before starting the chainsaw, apply the chain brake and remove the bar guard.

After that do the following:

  • Press the decompression valve control button, if equipped;
  • Activate the mode switch lever
  • Place the saw on the ground with your right foot pressing down on the rear handle and grasp the front handle with your left hand;
  • Pull the starter handle until the engine starts;
  • Press the mode switch lever and press it until the saw starts;
  • Increase idle speed and release chain brake.

Models Stihl MS 181 and MS 192 T – features and applications

How to replace a starter spring on a chainsaw

If the starter spring for a chainsaw breaks, which is often found on units of Chinese origin, then you need to replace it. There is no need to replace the entire starter.

Features of repairs

Here are detailed instructions for replacing the trigger spring:

  1. Initially, the holder (drum) of the mechanism is removed
  2. There is a spring in the drum structure that needs to be removed. Secure the top part and pull the handle
  3. A new one should be installed in place of the old spring. Before installing the part, you need to clean the drum body
  4. The new spring is initially placed in the drum, and then you need to get the antenna into the groove
  5. The drum is installed in place and the starter cover is mounted on the tool.

A detailed and visual description of replacing the starter spring is shown in the video.

To repair a starter on a chainsaw, you will need to find out the cause and, depending on the breakdown, fix it. If the mechanism cover itself has burst, it is easier to replace the device completely. To extend the service life of the trigger, it is necessary to carry out maintenance of the tool.

  • Oil tank capacity – 325 ml;
  • Working weight – 7 and 7.5 kg, respectively.

Each model includes a tire, cover, chain and documentation.

Lubricants

Anyone who is not an enemy of their chainsaw must understand once and for all that oil only exists in Russian sayings, and in chainsaws there is suitable and unsuitable oil. Everyone wants to save money, but by saving a few hundred rubles on motor oil (by buying not synthetics from a normal company for 500 rubles, but some Chinese junk for 200 rubles), you can kill a piston engine in a couple of hours of work, costing 80% of the cost of a chainsaw.

The same goes for chain and bar oil - the real savings when using bad oils are lower than the lost profits after the chain and bar fail.

In addition, for household use, even the most expensive oil is not an item for significant savings.

Suppose a person saws only a few hours a year. Then the overpayment for several years of work will be only 300 rubles, or even less, and if you fill in bad oil, you can damage the entire piston during this time, which is much more expensive.

Chainsaws Stihl MS 441 and MS 461 – areas of tool use

  • Working weight – 7.5 and 8 kg, respectively.

Both models are equipped with a modified inertial brake, an effective vibration damping system and a device for easier engine starting.

Chainsaw capabilities

It should be noted that the chainsaw is multifunctional, since it can be used to cut not only wood, but also foam blocks, aerated concrete, shell rock, chipboard, and even stone. To cut the trunk, you should focus on the width of the tire and the diameter of the tree. Naturally, it is difficult and time-consuming to cut thick wood with a reciprocating saw, but with patience it is possible. If there is a need to cut chipboard, then it is advisable to use a specialized tool that will not leave chips on the edges, but if you don’t have one at hand, then you can use a low-power chainsaw, this will make it easier to control the evenness of the line.

It is important to take safety precautions when felling trees, as any confusion can result in injury. The procedure is as follows:

  1. Remove the chainsaw from the cut you made;
  2. Turn off the chainsaw;
  3. Lower down;
  4. Leave the work area, taking into account the direction in which the tree fell.
