All Stihl chainsaws are equipped with two-stroke engines, the cold start of which has a similar algorithm. But there are models that have additional equipment installed that allows you to start the saw without excessive effort. For this reason, their start algorithm may be slightly different.
Let's look at how to start regular saw and how the process differs from running a modified model.
In order to start the Shtil 180 chainsaw when cold, you must follow the algorithm specified by the manufacturer in, namely:
- Turn on the ignition and set the engine control lever to the lowest position (in this position, the air damper blocks the access of air from the air filter, and the throttle is fully open, thus enriching the fuel mixture);
- Pull the starter handle several times until the first flash passes (the flash indicates that the fuel mixture has entered the cylinder and the saw is ready to start);
- Set the control lever one position up from fully lowered (in this position the air damper opens and the throttle remains in the same position as before);
- Pull the starter and start. The saw will start and operate at higher speeds, due to the fact that the throttle valve is maximally open. To set the damper to mode idle move, you need to press the gas trigger and immediately release it, the tool will immediately normalize the speed.
The standard chainsaw does not have any additional devices installed to make starting easier.
Below you can see how to start a calm 180. The video reflects in detail all the main points, and the author’s comments allow you to understand the whole process down to the smallest detail.
Starting Shtil MS 180 C
The device of this model, compared to the previous one, has some differences in the trigger mechanism, but it does not introduce any changes to the launch algorithm. The fact is that in calm 180 C the ErgoStart system is installed, which, due to an additional spring installed in the chainsaw starter, reduces engine resistance when starting.
Starting the Stihl MS 211 C-BE
The fuel supply system in the Stihl MS 211 C-BE chainsaw is additionally equipped with a manual fuel pump, which makes it easier to start the chainsaw when cold.
The instructions for starting this Calm chainsaw model contain one additional point, which is that before starting the chainsaw when cold, you need to pump fuel into the carburetor using a pump. Further, the instructions are no different from launching calm 180 and follow the same algorithm.
What happens when the primer pumps fuel, and how does this help start the saw more efficiently?
At the moment of starting the saw without a primer, several movements of the starter are carried out only so that the fuel pump, under the influence of an impulse from the saw crankcase, pumps fuel into the carburetor.
A pump installed in the fuel line allows you to manually pump gasoline into the carburetor without unnecessary movements of the starter. The effect of this action is obvious; the saw will start much faster.
Many owners of gas powered tools mistakenly believe that hand pump You can over-pump fuel into the carburetor and for this reason the spark plug will flood. This is fundamentally wrong, since the system is capable of circulating in a circle. Excess gasoline from the carburetor will be directed through a special hose designed for this purpose back into the tank.
There is no need to use a primer on a hot chainsaw, since the fuel in the carburetor is sufficient for starting.
How to start chainsaws with a decompression valve
Before you start a Stihl chainsaw on which a decompression valve is installed, you must turn it on. I would like to note that the Shtil 250 saw does not have a decompression valve.
After the first flash has passed, the valve will return to normal operation; therefore, after the engine control lever is set to the open choke position and starting continues, the decompression valve must be pressed again.
The operation of the valve is shown schematically in the figure below.
In fact, the valve does not make starting faster, it just simplifies the process and makes it more comfortable, because During launch, a person will have to apply significantly less force.
A saw with a decompression valve, regardless of whether the engine is cold or hot, must be started using the valve to facilitate the cranking force of the engine. This will significantly increase the service life of the starter and reduce the number of broken laces, since it is installed on chainsaws with a large cylinder volume and, accordingly, compression.
How to start a saw after a long period of inactivity
I can't after long downtime. Such comments can be found on forums dedicated to the repair and operation of saws. Let's figure out how to start a chainsaw after a long period of inactivity.
The fact is that successful startup after downtime must be taken care of in advance and the saw properly prepared for storage. According to the manufacturer's instructions, before storing it, it is necessary to drain the fuel from the tank, then start the engine and burn out the fuel in the fuel system.
Preparation is necessary to ensure that the carburetor membranes do not stick together during storage. Performing this simple operation will allow you to successfully start the saw after long-term storage.
It is much easier to start a chainsaw six months after being idle if, immediately before starting, through the spark plug hole, add 1 - 2 ml of the fuel mixture to the cylinder. This can be done using a syringe.
Results
Starting a calm chainsaw almost always follows the same algorithm, except for those cases when a decompression valve and a fuel primer are additionally installed on the chainsaw. These devices are designed to facilitate the startup process and perform their functions perfectly.
Chainsaws are a little different design features, however, in most cases, the assembly principle is carried out according to two standard schemes. For many devices, the instructions contain information about the need to activate the emergency brake before starting the startup procedure.
You must first master the structure of the plant and study the basic methods of correcting breakdowns, then a person will have the opportunity to fully operate the device.
Briefly about the plant structure
The chainsaw is powered by an internal combustion engine. This is a simple device, the design of which does not have any special bells and whistles. Usually it works properly even in difficult conditions.
Functioning is ensured by structural elements:
- Carburetor engine (see).
- Centrifugal type clutches.
- The ignition system in almost all devices is contactless.
- The carburetor, which adds air to fuel mixture.
- Fuel system. Its standard device consists of a hose, filter and gas tank, but sometimes it has additional parts.
- Starter.
- Tire.
- Chain (see).
- Chain tensioning mechanism and brake (see).
Step-by-step instruction
When the brake is activated, the assembly process is much slower, so it is still safe and more comfortable to turn on the mechanism without the use of brake equipment.
If a person is not confident in his knowledge and accuracy, then the brake, on the contrary, needs to be activated. With the correct procedure, the device will not start, the mechanism will not perform actions dangerous to humans.
1 diagram of the standard mechanism
- Step 1. Before starting the benzoyl, you need to move the flap, which acts as an adjustment lever, downward compared to the optimal position. First you need to press the button responsible for supplying gas. Only if this condition is met is it possible for the damper to move normally all the way to the bottom. You need to simultaneously move the throttle and hold down the gas button. The gas is set to the standard position, and the damper closes the carburetor, preparing the device for proper operation.
- Step 2. The starter handle should be pulled, and this is done jerkily, not softly. This action requires the use of moderate force. You should continue these jerks until you can clearly hear the start of the chainsaw ignition, which will end (quiet) very quickly. After this action is completed, the position of the damper must be moved one step up.
- Step 3. Starter handle jerks again then until the system starts. When the device begins to work actively, high speed is immediately noticeable, since the throttle is at high level. It must be remembered that sometimes chainsaws are supplied without a starter, then all actions with this element are released.
- Step 4. The gas button is pressed once and then released, then the throttle position will immediately become optimal. The speed, that is, the intensity of the chain revolutions, decreases.
- Step 5. The already warmed-up chainsaw starts up when the lever is placed in position “1”, and then steps are taken to turn on the device.
- Step 6. To turn off the engine of the device, you need to put the damper in the highest position.
Conclusion
The chainsaw must be started following the standard instructions. If any problems arise with the operation of the device, for example, it is necessary to quickly eliminate them or take the device for repair, and to identify faults and proper operation With a chainsaw, you need to know the features of its design. To learn how to quickly turn on the device and fix breakdowns, just study the basic spectrum necessary actions and follow it.
Read about how to do it right before you start it for the first time.
Some buyers have purchased STIHL chainsaw face the problem of launching it and, as a result, remain dissatisfied. But what is the reason that the product you purchased does not start? Don’t rush to run to the warranty workshop and demand urgent repairs or demand that the seller replace the tool, but try to start all over again.
Refilling the saw with gasoline and oil
To start working directly with the saw, place it on a stable surface and fill it with fuel. For refilling, you should use only “branded” oils designed specifically for. The percentage of oil in this mixture should be 1/40-1/50. To operate imported saws, it is better to use 92-grade gasoline (or a higher grade), and for Russian ones, 76-grade gasoline is also suitable (not to mention other brands).
To avoid the risk of fire, before starting the engine, remove the saw from the place where it was filled with fuel and place it back on a solid, stable base.
First start of the saw
After checking that the chain does not touch hard surfaces, turn on the chain brake. In this case, the brake handle is moved away from you so that the chain does not start to rotate ahead of time. Since the engine is cold, the choke control lever is pulled out completely. The toe of the foot is threaded into the rear handle (while holding the front handle with your hand). Pull the handle several times, pulling the starter cord, until the engine hums. After this, the air damper is moved to the working position and the saw is started. Briefly press the throttle and set the saw to idle. The brake handle is moved back to its previous position. After all these steps, the saw is ready for use.
Saw care
Every time after working with it, it is necessary to check the tension and lubrication of the chain. If the chain is loose, it must be tightened; if the oil runs out, add it to the tank.
Refilling the saw
The chainsaw should be refueled at the end of work after a short rest of the engine to allow the saw to cool down.
Checking the air filter.
Periodically air filter The saw blade becomes clogged with shavings; after finishing work, it is advisable to remove it, wash it and blow it out. It is also necessary to periodically clean the surfaces around the engine cooling plates from contamination.
Starting the engine with separate controls:
1. Starting a cold engine:
b. pull out the air damper lever all the way (the air damper is completely closed);
V. pull the handle of the starter cord several times until the first flash of fuel in the engine;
d. push the choke lever (the choke is open, remains 
high idle position turned on);
d.start the engine;
After starting the engine, immediately press and release the throttle trigger - the choke lever automatically moves to the operating position (normal idle mode).
2. Starting a warm engine:
A. turn the switch to position 1 (on);
b. Pull out the choke lever as far as it will go, then move it to the forward position (high idle speed), or without touching the choke lever, carry out the engine starting procedure;
d. when the choke lever is in the high idle position after starting the engine, press and release the throttle trigger;
Stop the engine by moving the switch to the (off) position.
Today's tips concern the preparation of power tools and garden equipment To long-term storage or winter season. Moreover, in most cases, owners of gas-powered tools and garden equipment treat this somewhat frivolously, which is fundamentally wrong. Why does the motor cultivator not start when you are about to autumn processing soil, if the unit worked perfectly in the spring? What happened to - after all, we bought it only six months ago, sawed the boards once and since then it has been tucked in, ready for work? All these are the consequences of neglect of the mandatory procedure - preparing the instrument for storage.
So, there is nothing complicated about storing a motor cultivator. This is a unit with a four-stroke engine, which is still less demanding than a two-stroke. Here, the main and mandatory condition for preparing for storage is the absence of gasoline in the working area of the engine. It is necessary to drain the gasoline and then start the engine of the cultivator so that the fuel in the carburetor is exhausted - the engine will stall and that’s it, in general, there is no need to do anything else. Well, maybe inspect the motor for possible problems so that you know what parts or consumables you need to purchase.
If gasoline is not drained from the cultivator tank or is drained but the engine is not started, then the gasoline remaining in the carburetor softens the rubber membranes and they stick together. As a result, the motor stops working. This problem is especially relevant for those motor cultivators for which it is very, very difficult to find spare parts.
The situation with preparing for storage of chainsaws and brush cutters (trimmers) with two-stroke engines is much more complicated. Although the preparation procedure is almost the same - drain the fuel and start it, that is, run out gasoline from the carburetor. But the consequences of failure to comply with the preparation conditions in this case are more serious. Fuel for two-stroke engines is gasoline + oil. Gasoline evaporates easily, but the oil remains on the walls of the engine working area and the needle-thin channels of the carburetor. And it is impossible to remove or clean this layer, which has hardened in 2-3 months. There is only one thing left to do - change the carburetor, which is very expensive.
Remove the tire and clean all the grooves and oil channels on it, since when mixed with oil they form a viscous consistency that is extremely difficult to remove;
Remove all easily accessible covers and clean the stiffening ribs of the engine cylinder and all other surfaces with a brush, a brush, or a stream of air;
Unscrew the spark plug and pour a little oil for two-stroke engines into the cylinder. Pull the starter cord several times to distribute the oil evenly along the walls of the cylinder and piston. Screw the spark plug back in. This must be done to prevent oxidation and corrosion;
Loosen or remove the tire. It’s good to put it in oil for a day;
Inspect the parts of the chainsaw to determine what needs to be replaced. Maybe the chain needs sharpening, the tire is worn out, or the sprocket needs to be replaced. There's a whole winter ahead of us to troubleshoot problems.
Now about storing gasoline. As a rule, he stays. So, gasoline mixed with oil cannot be stored for more than 50-60 days, even in specialized containers. In a simple oil-resistant canister, the gasoline-oil mixture is stored for no more than 30 days.
It is absolutely impossible to store it in plastic bottles, where we love to mix gasoline and oil. Gasoline corrodes the walls plastic bottle and plastic fractions enter the fuel mixture, completely clogging the carburetor channels. In order not to bother yourself, just pour out all the gasoline intended for gas-powered tools without regret.
If you plan to use a chainsaw from time to time in winter, then you need to start the chainsaw at least 2 times a month and cut at least a couple of logs with it. It is better to store a chainsaw in a dry place.
Hello Dear buyer of STIHL petrol tools.
Some buyers, having purchased a STIHL chainsaw, are faced with the problem of starting it and, as a result, remain dissatisfied. But what is the reason that you purchased?

how to start a stihl chainsaw ?
So, first, carefully read the instructions for the tool you purchased and make sure that you did everything correctly: added chain oil, filled in a gasoline mixture diluted with two-stroke oil, and set the chain tension correctly. Now you can start the chainsaw. Set the combination lever (located to the left of the handle) to the lowest position (cold start). Start the saw two or three times in this position of the lever; it should not start. After this, move the combination lever to the next position (start in a warm state) and start the chainsaw in it. Your saw should start easily. As soon as the saw starts up, briefly press the gas lever (located on the handle of the chainsaw), the combined lever should automatically move to the working position (I) and the engine goes into idle mode. The motor must switch to idle speed immediately, otherwise damage to the motor housing and saw chain brake may occur if the saw chain brake is blocked. Your saw is now ready for use.
If, nevertheless, yours does not start, move the combination lever to position (0), remove the spark plug, wipe the spark plug with a dry cloth. Pull the starting device several times to ventilate the combustion chamber and install the spark plug in place, start the engine following the previously given instructions.
