stihl MS390 stalls when on tick over?

It is a fairly new saw. On returning to tick over the saw stalls. I have lost the manual and therefore do not know which adjustments I need to make.

Pull with choke closed once or twice, then pull with a partial choke which keeps throttle on. Sqeeze trigger to release the lock. Redo above, few times until that baby is warm. Works every time. Make sure it blows smoke, that way it will not overheat. (add extra oil to mix).
