Stihl 010 011 Specification

The Stihl 010 and 011 chainsaws are compact, lightweight models designed for efficient small to medium-scale cutting tasks. Both chainsaws are equipped with a single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, providing reliable power with minimal maintenance requirements. The 010 model features a 37cc engine, while the 011 model is slightly larger with a 41cc engine, delivering slightly more power for demanding tasks. These chainsaws are engineered with a focus on user comfort and ease of use, incorporating an anti-vibration system to reduce operator fatigue during extended periods of use.

The design includes a top handle configuration, making them particularly suitable for arborists and professionals who require precision in tight spaces. Both models utilize a manual fuel pump, which facilitates easier starting by reducing the number of pulls required to initiate operation. The side-access chain tensioner allows for straightforward adjustments to the chain without the necessity of disassembling the housing, enhancing the ease of maintenance.

The Stihl 010 and 011 are also equipped with a fixed flow oil pump, ensuring consistent lubrication of the chain and bar, which extends the lifespan of these components and maintains cutting performance. The chain brake system enhances safety by quickly stopping the chain’s motion in the event of a kickback. These chainsaws are constructed with high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of frequent use, reflecting Stihl's commitment to durability and longevity. Overall, the Stihl 010 and 011 chainsaws represent a balance of power, ease of use, and reliability, suitable for both professional and occasional users.

How do I properly start my Stihl 010 or 011 chainsaw?

To start your Stihl 010 or 011 chainsaw, set the choke to the closed position, pull the starter rope until the engine fires briefly, then move the choke to the open position and continue pulling the starter rope until the engine starts.

What should I do if my Stihl chainsaw won't start?

If your Stihl chainsaw won't start, check the fuel and air filters, inspect the spark plug for wear or damage, ensure the choke is set correctly, and verify that the fuel mix is fresh. Clean or replace parts as necessary.

How often should I clean the air filter on my Stihl 010 or 011?

Clean the air filter after every 10 hours of use, or more frequently if operating in dusty conditions. Remove the air filter, wash it with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry before reinstalling.

How can I troubleshoot a Stihl chainsaw that idles roughly?

For rough idling, adjust the idle speed screw on the carburetor, clean the air filter, and check the spark plug for fouling. If the problem persists, a carburetor adjustment or cleaning may be needed.

What maintenance should be performed regularly on a Stihl 010 or 011?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the air filter, checking and replacing the spark plug, inspecting the chain and guide bar, lubricating the chain, and ensuring the fuel mix is fresh.

How do I sharpen the chain on my Stihl chainsaw?

To sharpen the chain, secure the chainsaw, use a round file that matches the chain's pitch, and file each cutter using smooth, even strokes. Ensure the file is held at the correct angle according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Why does my Stihl chainsaw chain keep coming off?

The chain may come off if it's too loose, the tension is incorrect, or the bar and chain are worn. Adjust the chain tension according to the manual and inspect the bar and chain for wear or damage.
