Steps For Start A Stihl Chain Saw?
Step 1 – Prepare Your Work Area
Start by preparing your work area; make sure you have lots of light, that you are in a well-ventilated space and that your workbench or table is clean.
Step 2 – Prepare The 034E Power Cutter
Before you start the engine, ensure that there is enough oil in your 034E power cutler. To check this, look at your dipstick located on the right side between the handlebar and engine housing. For a minimum grade oil, the oil level must be at least above the line marked min. You will need to add oil if the oil level is below the min mark. Youll need this fuel to get your bar and chain properly lubricated before starting the saw.
Step 3 – Start The 034E Power Cutter
Make sure your 034E power cut is on the off position and not on choke. Pull out the choke knob and hold the throttle trigger. You should now see a line in the clear gas-filling windows inside your saws handle. This tells you that there is enough fuel in your fuel tank for starting and that youre ready to go!
Now place one foot firmly against the rear of the chainsaw near where your leg rests naturally when working with this tool. With one hand firmly gripping both handles, hold them firmly in place.
Now hold the saws trigger with your other hand, and make sure it is free of any obstructions which might prevent the engine from starting.
After checking for nearby objects, pull the starter cord six or seven times while holding down the throttle trigger to get your power cutter going. Be careful not to pull the cord too muchit may break! If this happens, dont worry because you can adjust a lever located inside of your 034Es handle to help compensate. Keep reading our blog post on how to start a Stihl chain saw for further instructions on adjusting this lever correctly.
After priming the internal fuel pump, pull out the choke knob six to seven times. Slowly let go of brake trigger and let saws idle for 30 seconds.
Step 4: Start Cutting
It is time to begin cutting once your 034E power-cutter has idled. Move away from your workbench, and pull out the starter cord. Make sure to squeeze the throttle trigger as much as possible. This will ensure that you don’t lose control of your chainsaw while in use and also prevents the chain from spinning if it goes wrong.
Three simple steps will allow you to begin cutting the wood.
Place the tip on the bar over the area you wish to cut. Use one hand to squeeze down on the handles and pull on the starter cord. Then, apply pressure to the saw tip when it comes in contact with a piece wood.
Step 5: When Work Is Done
Now is the time to get your 034E power-cutting machine out of its misery. Follow these simple steps for best results:
Double-check that your woodcutting equipment is turned off; Release both handles so they rest in their starting position; Place the throttle trigger back into its original position; Lower your chainsaws bar carefully so you dont hit anyone or anything along its downward path. If this happens, stop using the chainsaw immediately and inspect it for damages before starting up again; Before putting away your 034E, return the starter cord into its proper position inside of your saws handle.
Tips On How To Start A Stihl Chain Saw
Remember to use 2.5% motor oil or 20:1 gas-oil mixture for proper lubrication of the engine and bar & chain. Avoid using anything else because it might damage your 034E power cutters parts.
