1. INTRODUCTION
This service manual contains detailed
descriptions of all the repair and
servicing procedures specific to this
series of chainsaws There are separate
handbooks for servicing procedures on
standardized parts and assemblies that
are installed in several STIHL power
tool models. Reference is made to
these handbooks in the appropriate
chapters of this manual.
You should make use of the illustrated
parts lists while carrying out repair
work. They show the installed positions
of the individual components and
assemblies.
Always use the latest edition of the
parts list to determine the part numbers
of any replacement parts required.
Microfilmed parts list are always more
up to date than printed lists.
A fault on the machine may have
several causes. Consult the
troubleshooting charts for all
assemblies in the "Standard Repairs,
Troubleshooting" handbook.
Refer to the "Technical Information"
bulletins for engineering changes which
have been introduced since publication
of this service manual. Technical
information bulletins also supplement
the parts list until a revised edition is
issued.
Special servicing tools mentioned in
the descriptions are listed in the last
chapter of this manual. Use the part
numbers to identify the tools in the
"STIHL Special Tools" manual. The
manual lists all special servicing tools
currently available from STIHL.
Symbols are included in the text and
pictures for greater clarity. The
meanings are as follows:
In the descriptions:
• = Action to be taken as shown in
the illustration (above the text)
- = Action to be taken that
is not shown in the illustration
(above the text)
In the illustrations:
P = Pointer
= Direction of movement
Service manuals and all technical
information bulletins describing
engineering changes are intended
exclusively for the use of STIHL
servicing dealers. They must not be
passed to third parties.
Servicing and repairs are made
considerably easier if the powerhead
is mounted to the assembly stand (1)
5910 890 3100.
This enables the powerhead to be
swivelled to the best position for the
ongoing repair and leaves both hands
free.
It is secured with the bar mounting
stud after removing the chain sprocket
cover and tensioner.
Always use original STIHL
replacement parts. They can be
identified by the STIHL part number,
the STIHL
STIHL STIHL
STIHL logo and the STIHL
parts symbol (The symbol may
appear alone on small parts.

2.6 Tightening Torques
Plastoform screws are used for polymer components and "DG" screws for lightmetal components. These screws form a
permanent thread when they are installed for the first time. They can be removed and installed as often as necessary
without detrimentally affecting the strength of the screwed assembly, providing the specified tightening torque is observed.
For this reason it is essential to use a torque wrench.

Remarks
Use the following procedure when refitting a P or DG screw in an existing thread:
- Place the screw in the hole and rotate it counterclockwise until it drops down slightly.
- Tighten the screw clockwise to the specified torque.
This procedure ensures that the screw engages properly in the existing thread and does not form a new thread and
weaken the joint.
Note: Power screwdriver speed for use in polymer: Plastoform screws max. 600 rpm,
DG screws max. 500 rpm.
Use only screws specified in parts list.
Do not use screws with underhead locking teeth on polymer components.

• Remove the E-clip (1).
• Remove the washer (2).
• Pull off the chain sprocket.
• If the clutch drum is still serviceable,
use No. 120 emery paper or emery
cloth (grain size approx. 120μm) to
clean and roughen its friction
surface.
Reassemble in the reverse sequence.
- Clean stub of crankshaft. Wash
needle cage in clean white spirit and
lubricate with grease - see 11.2.
- Replace damaged needle cage.
- Rotate chain sprocket and apply
slight pressure at the same same
until oil pump drive spring engages
properly.
• Take the needle cage out of the
sprocket.
- Clean and inspect the chain
sprocket.
• Unscrew the nut.
- Pull off the chain sprocket cover.
- Disengage the chain brake by
pulling the hand guard toward
the front handle.

3.1 Chain Sprocket
Important: If there are noticeable
wear marks on the inside diameter of
the clutch drum, check its wall
thickness. If it is less than 80% of the
original wall thickness, fit a new
sprocket.
Note: If the clutch drum has to be
replaced, also check the brake band
- see 3.3.2.

STIHL 019 T 7
3.2 Clutch
Troubleshooting chart - see "Standard
Repairs, Troubleshooting" handbook.
- Remove chain sprocket - see 3.1.
3.3 Chain Brake
3.3.1 Checking Function
The chain brake is one of the most
important safety devices on the
chainsaw. Its efficiency is measured in
terms of braking time, i.e. the time that
elapses between activating the brake
and the saw chain coming to a
standstill. The shorter the braking time,
the better the efficiency and protection
offered against being injured by the
rotating chain.
Contamination (with chain oil, chips,
fine particles of abrasion, etc.) and
smoothing of the friction surfaces of the
brake band and clutch drum impair the
coefficient of friction. This, in turn,
reduces the frictional forces and thus
prolongs the braking time. A fatigued or
stretched brake spring has the same
negative effect.
- Start the engine.
- With the chain brake activated
(locked), open throttle wide for brief
period (max. 3 seconds) the chain
must not rotate.
- With the chain brake released, open
throttle wide and activate the brake
manually - the chain must come to an
abrupt stop.
Note: The braking time is in order if
deceleration of the saw chain is
imperceptible to the eye.
• Pull boot (1) off the spark plug.
- Unscrew the spark plug (2).
• Push the locking strip (1)
0000 893 5903 into the cylinder.
• Unscrew the clutch from the
crankshaft in the direction of the
arrow (left-hand thread).
- Disassemble and reassemble
the clutch - see "Standard
Repairs, Troubleshooting"
handbook.
• Screw clutch onto crankshaft
and torque down to 50 Nm
(37 Ibf.ft).
- Remove locking strip from
cylinder.
- Install spark plug and torque
down to 25 Nm (18.5 Ibf.ft).
Important: If spark plug has a
separate terminal nut, make sure
that it is properly tightened down.
- Fit spark plug boot.
- Install the chain sprocket -
see 3.1.

STIHL 019 T 8
• Lever the brake band out of the
engine housing.
• Slip the strap off the bell crank
pivot pin (1).
• Push the strap to one side and
remove it from the hand guard
pivot pin (2).
Replace the brake band if:
- there are noticeable signs of wear
(large areas on inside diameter
and/or parts of outside diameter) and
- its remaining thickness is less than
0.6 mm (0.024").
Important! Thickness of brake band
must not be less at any point.
• If the brake band is still serviceable,
use No. 120 emery paper or emery
cloth (grain size approx. 120μm) to
clean and roughen its entire friction
surface (inside diameter).
• Take out the screw.
- Remove the hand guard from its
seat on the fan housing.
• Remove brake band from the chain
sprocket and detach it from the bell
crank.
- Release tension of brake spring by
pushing the hand guard forwards.
- Remove chain sprocket cover.
• Ease the cover out of its
retainers.
3.3.2 Disassembly
• Use assembly tool (2)
1117 890 0900 to carefully
disconnect the brake spring (1).
• Unhook the brake spring from
the bell crank (3).
• Remove the E-clip,

STIHL 019 T 9
- Clean chain brake seat in
housing.
- If the groove of the brake spring
anchor pin is worn, replace the
housing.
3.3.3 Assembly
- Lubricate sliding and bearing points
of chain brake with STIHL
multipurpose grease or, preferably,
Molykote grease - see 11.2.
- Fit flat spring in position.
• Remove the washer.
• Carefully ease the hand guard
(1) and bell crank (2) off the pivot
pins and lift them away together.
- Pull the bell crank out of the hand
guard.
• Take out the flat spring.
- Inspect parts. Replace any worn or
damaged parts.
• Locate bearing boss of hand
guard (1) on pivot pin.
- Fit other end over the housing.
• Slide bell crank into end of hand
guard. The short arm of the bell
crank must point to top of hand
guard.

STIHL 019 T 10
• Fit the washer. • Hook the brake spring onto the bell
crank.
• Fit the brake band and press it
into the engine housing.
• Secure strap with E-clip.
- Coat brake band with chain oil
(STIHL Bioplus), see 11.2, to
protect it from corrosion an
cushion "snatching" during the
first few brake applications.
• Check that flat spring (1)
is properly located on face (2)
of bearing boss.
• Attach brake band to the bell
crank.
• Place strap on pivot pin (1) and
pull it in direction of arrow until it
engages the groove.
• Then push it over the pivot pin
(2).
• Position bell crank (1) against
pivot pin (2).
- Push hand guard and bell crank fully
onto the pivot pins.
