Kickback!!!
Kickback occurs when the
moving saw chain near
the upper quadrant of the
bar nose contacts a solid
object or is pinched
The greater the force of
the kickback reaction, the
more difficult it becomes
for the operator to control
the saw

confidential
Chain and Bar Color Code Marking
STIHL saw chain will have a green
or yellow tie strap to indicate if the
chain is low-kickback or other than
low-kickback
The bar will have two green or
yellow dots on the powerhead end
of the bar to identify if the bar is a
reduced kickback bar or not

Install the Bar and Chain
STIHL recommends the use of reduced
kickback bars and low kickback chains on
all STIHL chain saws
Yellow bar and chain combinations are for
trained professionals with extraordinary
cutting needs
Be sure the bar and chain are within the
recommended length for the model of
saw being assembled
Always wear gloves when handling saw
chain to protect your hands from the
sharp cutters

Chain Adjustment
The 1130 saws have a front
chain tensioner
Most STIHL chain saws have a
side chain tensioner that is more
convenient to use
Saws come with a combination
wrench, commonly referred to as
a “Scrench”, to make bar and
chain service easy to do

confidential
Install Bar & Chain
Adjust the chain tension with the “Scrench” by holding up on
the nose of the bar, tightening the chain tension screw, then
tightening the nuts

Correct Chain Tension
With the chain brake
disengaged, pull the
chain through from the
top side and it should
rotate freely without any
slack appearing
If the chain goes from
tight to loose the
sprocket and chain may
not be of the same pitch,
or the sprocket and chain
may have excessive
wear and no longer have
the same pitch

confidential
Correct Chain Tension
Regardless of bar
length, check for
correct chain tension
by pulling up on the
chain at the center of
the bar
The tension is correct
when the bottom of the
drive link will just clear
the bar groove

Cutterless Chain for Service
For any chain saw, to properly tune the carb or verify running
RPM at idle and wide open throttle a bar and chain should be
installed
Cutterless chains are available to provide a safe way for the
service technician to do this without fear of the chain coming
into contact with anything

confidential
All Current Models of STIHL Chain Saws are Equipped with
the STIHL Quickstop® Chain Braking System
The chain is stopped and locked when the hand guard is
pushed toward the guide bar nose by the left hand – or when
the brake is activated by enough inertia in certain kickback
situations Brake
