  • General Advice for using Stihl Products:
    • Do not use 87 octane gas. Use 89 octane or higher, as it will combust cooler and will help prevent long term engine tear.
    • Unless you use Stihl premixed engineer fluid, do not leave pump gas and oil mix in tank, as it causes problems with the carburetor, even when using ethanol free fuel.
    • When using your chainsaw, DO NOT CUT WITH A DULL CHAIN. If you feel like you are having to use any physical force, it is time for a chain replacement, or possibly even a chainsaw replacement, as continued use can cause damage to the unit, not to mention be DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY FOR THE OPERATOR. Before using that dull chain, bring it into our store as we can sharpen chains.
