Stihl MS 192 T Instruction Manual page 6

Protect your hands with
gloves when handling
saw and saw chain.
Heavy-duty, nonslip
gloves improve your grip
and protect your hands.
Good footing is most
important in chainsaw
work . Wear sturdy boots
with nonslip soles. Steel-
toed safety boots suitable
for climbing in trees are
recommended. To reduce the risk of
injury to your eyes never operate a
chainsaw unless wearing goggles or
properly fitted safety glasses with
adequate top and side protection
complying with your national standard.
Wear an approved safety
hard hat to protect your
head.
Chainsaw noise may
damage your hearing.
Always wear sound barriers (ear plugs
or ear mufflers) to protect your hearing.
Continual and regular users should have
their hearing checked regularly. Any
crew member in the cutting area should
also wear proper protective clothing,
especially hard hats, to protect their
heads.

THE SAW
For illustrations and definitions of the
parts of the chainsaw see the chapter on
"Main Parts of Saw".
!
Warning!
Never modify a chainsaw in any way.
Only attachments and parts supplied by
STIHL or expressly approved by STIHL
for use with the specific STIHL saw
models are authorized. Although certain
unauthorized attachments are useable
with the STIHL powerhead, their use
may, in fact, be extremely dangerous.
THE USE OF THE SAW
Transporting the chainsaw
!
Warning!
Always stop the engine before putting a
chainsaw down or carrying it. Carrying a
chainsaw with the engine running is
extremely dangerous. Accidental
acceleration of the engine can cause the
chain to rotate.
By hand: When carrying your saw by
hand, the engine must be stopped and
the saw must be in the proper position.
Grip the top handle and place the muffler
away from the body. The chain guard
(scabbard) should be over the chain and
guide bar, which should point
backwards.
By vehicle: When transporting in a
vehicle, keep chain and bar covered with
the chain guard. Properly secure your
saw to prevent turnover, fuel spillage
and damage to the saw.
