Most likely this is caused by one or both of the following. The low speed jet needs adjusting or the idle speed is adjusted too low. Most saws the user can adjust the idle speed as the adjustment screw is not protected. Adjust the idle speed so that the chain just stops turning. It may be necessary to adjust the speed up till it will stay running for you and then start turning it down till the chain stops. If the low speed jet needs adjusting it may be a better idea to run it by a Stihl service center and have them tune it up for you.
