Stihl MS 192 T Notice D'emploi page 11

English
Operate your chainsaw so that it
produces a minimum of noise and
emissions - do not run engine
unnecessarily and accelerate the engine
only for cutting. In order to keep control
of your saw, always maintain a firm
foothold. Never work on a ladder, or on
any other insecure support. Never use
the saw above shoulder height. Never
attempt to operate the saw with one
hand.
!
Warning!
Never work in a tree unless you have
received specific, professional training
for such work, are properly secured
(such as lift bucket or tackle and harness
system), have both hands free for
operating the chainsaw in a cramped
environment and have taken
precautions to avoid injury from falling
obstacles.

The use of climbing aids, such as spikes
or climbing irons, also require special
training. Always secure the chainsaw
with a rope (tie to hinged ring) and attach
it to the lifeline. Cordon off the work area
in order to reduce the risk of injuries and
damage to bystander or property (e.g.
motor vehicles) property from falling
branches.
!
Warning!
To reduce risk of
electrocution, take extra
precautions when cutting
near power lines. Have
the power switched off
before starting cutting
work in the immediate vicinity of power
lines.
Cutting Instructions
Always hold the saw firmly with both
hands when the engine is running. Place
your left hand on the front handle bar
and your right hand on rear handle and
throttle trigger. Left-handers should
follow these instructions too. Wrap your
fingers tightly around the handles,
keeping the handles cradled between
your thumb and forefinger. With your
hands in this position, you can best
oppose and absorb the push, pull and
kickback forces of your saw without
losing control (see section on reactive
forces). Make sure your chainsaw
handles and grip are in good condition
and free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk
of serious or fatal
injury to the
operator or
bystanders, never
use the saw with one hand.
You cannot control reactive forces and
you may lose control of the saw, which
can result, e.g., in the bar and chain-
skating or bouncing along the limb or log.
