Among the household inventory of the owner of a private house, there must be a chainsaw - an indispensable thing in the household, if you need to cut firewood, cut down dry branches on garden trees or even a whole tree.
In recent years, Stihl has been the leader in the gardening equipment market. The company's chainsaws have an affordable price in the region of 7000-8000 rubles and a fairly high quality for such a price. Therefore, they were adopted not only by residents of the private sector, but also by lumberjacks and public utilities workers for landscaping. Unfortunately, even high-quality equipment develops its resource over time and requires the replacement of individual components. Chainsaw repairs often have to be done on their own, as breakdowns mainly begin after the end of the warranty period.
Main breakdowns
Before you hand over a broken chainsaw to a repair service, you should try to identify the breakdown yourself and, possibly, fix it. There is an instruction for this.chainsaw repair, which is always included in the delivery. It contains answers on how to repair in cases where:
- chain broke;
- saw won't start;
- saw starts up and immediately stalls;
- chainsaw running but not at full capacity.
When a circuit is broken, it is probably clear to everyone that it needs to be replaced or repaired, if there are technical possibilities for this. In other words, this is a minor repair of the chainsaw, since the breakdown is easily fixed. Things are worse when there are problems with the engine, but in this case, everything can be sorted out on your own.
Surface reasons
Surface failures include cases where the problem lies in minor nuances, such as the absence of a spark. In this case, the repair of the chainsaw will consist only in testing the spark plug and replacing it if it is out of order. If the candle is working, but completely dry, then there is no fuel supply and you need to clean the carburetor. Due to the low quality of the fuel and the presence of various foreign impurities in it, the carburetor can often become clogged and block the path for fuel. If cleaning the carburetor did not give a positive result, then you will have to check the piston. When using low-quality fuel, the repair of the Stihl 180 chainsaw ends with this.
The problem of the engine of the chainsaw "Calm 180"
Chainsaw "Calm 180" has a fairly good workingresource, but subject to the use of high-quality oil and fuel. Refueling with gasoline with the addition of alcohol or a mixture of benzene and toluene is not allowed. The use of such fuel significantly reduces the life of the piston. The piston burns out, and chips form on it and piston rings are destroyed. To replace the piston, unscrew the four nuts on the head and remove the cylinder. After that, the piston will be available for replacement. Such a chainsaw repair is considered the most difficult, but if you delve into the instructions in detail, then everyone will be able to figure out how and what to do in order to return the chainsaw to working capacity.
