Stihl MS 192 T Instruction Manual page 12

This rule against one handed operation
applies also for those compact saws
designed for use in confined spaces.
Position the chainsaw in such a way that
your body is clear of the cutting attach-
ment whenever the engine is running.
Stand to the left of the plane of the
cutting attachment.
!
Warning!
Do not operate your chainsaw with the
starting throttle lock engaged. Cutting
with the starting throttle lock engaged
does not permit the operator proper
control of the saw or chain speed. Begin
cutting with the saw at full throttle,
engage the bumper spike firmly in the
wood (if possible) and then continue
cutting. Always work with the bumper
spike so that you have better control of
the saw. If you work without the bumper
spike saw may pull you forwards
suddenly.

!
Warning!
Never touch a chain with your hand or
any part of your body when the engine is
running, even when the chain is not
rotating. The chain continues to rotate
for a short period after the throttle trigger
is released.
!
Warning!
The muffler and other parts of the engine
(e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark plug)
become hot during operation and remain
hot for a while after stopping the engine.
To reduce risk of burns do not touch the
muffler and other parts while they are
hot.
!
Warning!
Do not cut any material other than wood
or wooden objects. Use your chainsaw
for cutting only. It is not designed for
prying or shoveling away limbs, roots or
other objects. When sawing, make sure
that the saw chain does not touch any
foreign materials such as rocks, fences,
nails and the like. Such objects may be
flung off, damage the saw chain or
cause the saw to kickback.
Do not underbuck freely hanging limbs
because the chain may get pinched and
cause kickback and loss of control. Take
special care when cutting shattered
wood because of the risk of injury from
slivers being caught and thrown in your
direction.
Don't put pressure on the saw when
reaching the end of a cut. The pressure
may cause the bar and rotating chain to
pop out of the cut or kerf, go out of
control and strike the operator or some
other object. If the rotating chain strikes
some other object, a reactive force may
cause the moving chain to strike the
operator.
