If the chain moves at idle, then it is necessary to turn the bolt counterclockwise until the chain stops. Then return the bolt 1/2 turn back.

You can buy an original Stihl chainsaw here

When buying professional products from well-known brands, there is always a chance of getting a poorly working imitation instead of the original. If the buyer needs a Stihl Chainsaw, then you need to know how to distinguish the original from the fake.

Often scammers counterfeit expensive popular products, setting prices on them that are not much lower than the cost of the original product. Focusing only on a plausible price and failing to identify a fake, the buyer will suffer twice: he will spend a large amount in vain and will be left without the right thing.

Place of purchase

Original STIHL chainsaws are sold only through authorized dealers who provide service and consulting support.

Purchasing from unverified suppliers, markets and Internet sites leaves the quality of the goods in question. In such cases, it is necessary to inspect the chainsaw, packaging, check the product labeling and its compliance with the documentation.

Identification of counterfeit by serial number

It is necessary to start the inspection of the product by studying the type and areas of the serial number. On the original chainsaw, it will be applied as follows:

1. In the form of a stamp on the body of the chainsaw near the muffler.
2. On a sticker located on the body under the muffler.
3. On a sticker on the packaging box of the chainsaw.

In these three places, the serial number must be identical, and the numbers indicating the country of manufacture must correspond to the product documentation provided by the seller.

The original Stihl chainsaw is marked with a number, where the following figure is in the first position:

• 1 - for Germany;
• 2 - for the USA;
• 3 - for Brazil;
• 4 - for Austria;
• 5 - for the USA and Great Britain;
• 8, 9 - for China.

Numbers 6 and 7 are reserved, while 9 stands for third party.

It is necessary to make sure that there is an “X” symbol in the last position of the serial number, which means that the product has been tested for operability before being sent to the warehouse.

Barcode

To label consumer products, a system of special codes is used that contains complete information about the product, its place of manufacture and movement. It is enough for the buyer to understand the fragment of the barcode that identifies the product:

1. The code of the country of origin of the goods is contained in the first three digits.
2. The product manufacturer's code is indicated in the following six digits.

Table of barcodes that may be present on the original product:

The code	The country
000-139	USA and Canada
400-440	Germany
500-509	Great Britain
690-695	China
789-790	Brazil
900-919	Austria

Signs of unprofessional casting of plastic parts, mold residues, burrs, sagging, scratches give out a fake product, the purchase of which must be abandoned.

• • The company logo is present on the muffler next to the serial number, on the fuel tank cap and on the screws on the inside of it.

• • The logo on the original is always engraved.
  • A real saw only uses star screws, so there are no hardware for a flat or Phillips screwdriver.
  • There is only one hole on the tire of the branded product. There is no lubrication window.
  • The chain included in the kit has an "S" stamped on each intermediate link.

• The two large nuts on the left side of the saw have an “S” stamped on them.
• There is a serial number sticker on the back of the original.
• The air filter is made of thick material and is painted white on the top and brown on the back.
• The filter holder is engraved with the article number.

   2. The tool kit includes only a multi-purpose screwdriver and a "candle" wrench with company engraving without packaging.

• Color and font designed by the manufacturer.
• Clear and crisp printed text.
• Thick cardboard.
• Mandatory presence of a sticker with manufacturer's information: chainsaw model, country of origin, serial number.
• The presence on the left side of the sticker with the serial number required for service in the service center.

Examples of counterfeit detection

You can buy an original Stihl chainsaw here

The range of Stihl brand chainsaws includes tools for domestic and professional use, so the products are in constant demand. Experienced craftsmen know how to distinguish fakes of the most popular models from original chainsaws.

One of the most common signs of a fake Stihl MS 180 saw is the presence of a fuel canister in the package. There may also be an oil supply hole on the tire. However, the original saws do not need additional lubrication. The fake tire is packed in a plastic bag, not in a cardboard case.

The length of a fake saw can be 5-10 centimeters longer. Accordingly, the length of the packaging box is longer than the original. There is no serial number sticker on the package.

Counterfeits of the STIHL 660 model can be distinguished by the faded color of the case, convex oil and fuel tank caps, the presence of a sticker with the company logo instead of an engraved inscription. Another characteristic sign of a fake is that the air filter cover screw is located on top, and not on the back side, like the original.

The STIHL 362 professional chainsaw is often counterfeited by unscrupulous manufacturers. The main signs of a fake:

1. Extra hole in the tire.
2. Poor cylinder casting quality.
3. The muffler is black instead of silver.

A complete guarantee of the quality of the product is provided by the purchase of a chainsaw from an authorized dealer with a certificate.

Features of the Chinese chainsaw "Calm"

Branded chainsaws of the Shtil brand are produced not only in Germany, but also in China, and, more specifically, in the city of Qingdao. The Shtil company values its reputation, so the quality characteristics of Chinese-made saws are at a high level. The enterprises carry out strict control of compliance with the technology at each stage of production, and this serves as a guarantee of the identity of the assembly of products in Germany and China.

The fact of factory testing and the confirmed level of quality are marked with the stamp "TR" or "QC" for both Chinese and German goods.

However, Chinese manufacturers use materials of inferior quality, which to some extent affects the durability of the tool and limits its scope. The disadvantages of the appearance of parts made of Chinese plastic are clearly visible during visual inspection.

If the chainsaw is supposed to be used from time to time, without exceeding the loads, then the existing differences will not interfere with the effective use of this cutting product. Nevertheless, it is always useful to know complete and accurate information about the instrument purchased.

When buying, you need to pay attention to the following signs of Chinese production:

• The serial number printed on the tool will begin with the number 8. The numbers 1, 2 or 5 indicate the countries of origin: Germany, USA and Brazil.
• The cost of the tool will be lower while maintaining the same warranty period.
• The model range of Chinese products includes products that are no longer manufactured in Germany.
• Individual parts, such as the air filter housing, are made of cheap, easily deformable plastic.

You also need to know that if the purchase is made through an online store, then there is a high probability of purchasing a chainsaw made in China.

According to customer reviews, in the process of using a Chinese-made tool, the following shortcomings appear over time:

1. Failures of the sawing headset.
2. Rapid loss of elasticity of the starter spring.
3. Rapid scoring in the cylinder.
4. Regular drop in power.
5. Bar and chain failure before the specified service life.

Nevertheless, buying a Chinese-made Stihl chainsaw can be justified if the purpose of using the tool meets its capabilities. But the buyer must be aware of the origin of the product in order to consciously use the tool and correctly calculate the loads. In this case, the chainsaw is guaranteed a long service life to the complete satisfaction of the owner.
