Frequently Asked Questions - MS 201 C-EM STIHL
How do I start the STIHL MS 201 C-EM chainsaw?
Set the master control lever to the starting position, pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt, then give a quick pull. If cold, engage the choke. After starting, set the master control to run position. Always follow the starting safety precautions.
What fuel mix ratio should I use?
Use a 50:1 ratio of unleaded gasoline to STIHL 2-stroke oil (or equivalent high-quality oil). Do not use pre-mixed fuels with ethanol content above 10%. Proper fuel mixture ensures engine performance and longevity.
How often should I clean the air filter?
Clean the air filter every 10 hours of operation or more frequently in dusty conditions. Remove the filter and tap it gently or clean with compressed air. Replace if damaged. A clean air filter prevents engine wear.
How do I adjust the chain tension?
Loosen the bar nuts slightly, turn the tensioning screw (usually on the side) until the chain fits snugly against the guide bar, then tighten the nuts. The chain should still move freely by hand. Proper chain tension is critical for safe operation.
What is the correct chain sharpening procedure?
Use a round file of the correct diameter (typically 4.0 mm for 3/8" P). File each cutter at a 30° angle (top plate) and 60° side plate angle, maintaining equal length. A sharp chain reduces kickback and improves cutting ef
How do I replace the guide bar?
Remove the chain, then loosen the bar nuts and remove the old bar. Clean the oil hole and bar groove, place the new bar, install the chain, and adjust tension. Use only STIHL guide bars designed for this model.
What safety gear should I wear when operating this chainsaw?
Wear a safety helmet with visor, ear protection, cut-resistant gloves, chainsaw chaps or pants, and steel-toed boots. Always ensure proper protective equipment before starting.
Why won't my chainsaw start?
Common causes include stale fuel, a dirty air filter, spark plug fouling, or improper starting procedure. Check fuel freshness, clean/replace filter, and inspect spark plug. If still not starting, refer to the manual's troubleshooting section.
How should I store the chainsaw for long periods?
Empty the fuel tank and run the engine until it stalls to clear carburetor. Remove the chain and bar, clean them, and apply a light oil. Store in a dry place. Restart the saw after storage to ensure proper storage prep.
Where can I find replacement parts for my MS 201 C-EM?
Authorized STIHL dealers carry genuine parts. You can also order online from STIHL's official website or trusted retailers. Always use OEM parts to maintain performance and safety.
