Cutting Attachment - Stihl MS 193 T Instruction Manual

Cutting techniques:
Always start the cut with the engine at
full throttle.
Always pull the saw out of the cut with
the chain running.
Cut straight through thin limbs
–
– In case of thick limbs, first perform
relieving cut from below (approx. 1/5
of diameter), then buck from above
– Support and secure heavy
branches with ropes.
If the saw gets pinched in the cut:
– Shut off the engine and secure the
saw to the tree – in direction of
trunk.
Carefully free the saw from the cut,
–
using another saw if necessary.
Limbs under tension:
Always start relieving cut (1) at the
N
compression side (A).
Make relieving cut (1) and then
N
perform bucking cut (2) at the
tension side (B) – the saw will
otherwise pinch or kick back.
If not otherwise possible, make the
bucking cut from the bottom upwards
(underbuck) – be wary of pushback.

Cutting Attachment

A cutting attachment consists of the saw
chain, guide bar and chain sprocket.
The cutting attachment that comes
standard is designed to exactly match
the chain saw.
1
a
The pitch (t) of the saw chain (1),
–
chain sprocket and the nose
sprocket of the Rollomatic guide bar
must match.
– The drive link gauge (2) of the saw
chain (1) must match the groove
width of the guide bar (3).
If non-matching components are used,
the cutting attachment may be damaged
beyond repair after a short period of
operation.
Chain Scabbard
2
Your saw comes standard with a chain
scabbard that matches the cutting
attachment.
3
If guide bars of different lengths are
mounted to the saw, always use a chain
scabbard of the correct length which
covers the complete guide bar.
The length of the matching guide bars is
marked on the side of the chain
scabbard.
