Q: What is the length of the chain for the STIGA SP 36 chainsaw?

The STIGA SP 36 chainsaw is equipped with a 14-inch (35 cm) long chain. It is important to note this exact dimension, as it differs from the model number. The chain pitch is 3/8 inch , which corresponds to the link spacing. When you need to replace the chain, make sure to order the correct model by specifying these two essential parameters: length of 35 cm and pitch of 3/8" . The original chain code for the SP 36 is 4113703 . Only use the chain recommended by the manufacturer, as an unsuitable chain can cause breakage or a risk of kickback. For sharpening and maintaining your chain, you will need a file with a 5/32 inch (4.0 mm) diameter . The depth gauge setting should be adjusted to 0.018 inch (0.45 mm) for each link. The guide groove width is 0.050 inch (1.3 mm) , a dimension to check when replacing the guide bar. Before each use, check that the chain is properly tensioned and well-sharpened. A worn or poorly sharpened chain reduces cutting efficiency and increases user fatigue. Consult your STIGA dealer if you need advice on replacing or sharpening your chain.

Question 2

Where is the starter (choke) located on the STIGA SP 386 chainsaw?

Accepted Answer

On the STIGA SP 386 chainsaw, the starter (also called "choke") is a movable lever located on the engine casing, easily accessible from the top and side of the machine. It is an essential control for starting the engine, especially when the engine is cold.

The starter of the SP 386 has two distinct positions:

Position A: the starter is off. This is the normal position for regular operation and for restarts with a warm engine.
Position B: the starter is on. This is the required position to start a cold engine or after refueling.

To start your SP 386 cold, proceed as follows: first, move the starter lever to position "B". Then press the primer button (located on the carburetor) 6 times to inject fuel. Once the engine shows the first signs of starting, move the lever to position "A" to allow normal operation. Continue pulling the starter cord until the engine starts completely.

It is important not to forget to switch from position B to position A after the initial start, otherwise the engine may struggle to run normally. If you have pulled the starter cord several times with the starter in position B without success, the engine may flood (too much gasoline); in this case, remove and dry the spark plug before trying again.
