Stihl MS 194 T Instruction Manual page 23

two-hand use when using this saw in a
tree, there is an increased risk of injury
from loss of control.
For this reason this special chain saw
should be used only for work in a tree by
persons trained in special cutting and
working techniques. This type of chain
saw is not designed for cutting work on
the ground, such as felling and bucking.
Because this chain saw is not intended
for use on the ground, this manual does
not contain instructions for felling or for
limbing and bucking felled trees. For
instructions on these techniques when
using other STIHL chain saw models,
see the instruction manuals for these
other saws or the STIHL Chain Saw
Safety Manual, which is available free of
charge from your STIHL servicing
dealer.

Logs or branches under strain:
MS 194 T
Risk of pinching! Always start relieving
cut (1) at compression side. Then make
bucking cut (2) at tension side. If the saw
pinches, stop the motor and remove it
from the branch.
Only properly trained professionals
should work in an area where the trees,
logs, limbs and roots are tangled.
Working in "blow down" areas is
extremely hazardous. Drag the logs into
a clear area before cutting. Pull out
exposed and cleared logs first.
If conditions allow, work from a lift
bucket.
WARNING
Be extremely cautious when cutting
limbs under tension (spring poles). The
limbs could spring back toward the
operator and cause loss of control of the
saw and severe or fatal injury to the
operator.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
STORING
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
the emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any
nonroad engine repair establishment or
individual. However, if you make a
warranty claim for a component which
has not been serviced or maintained
properly, STIHL may deny coverage.
WARNING
Use only identical STIHL replacement
parts for maintenance and repair. Use of
non-STIHL parts may cause serious or
fatal injury.
Strictly follow the maintenance and
repair instructions in the appropriate
section of your instruction manual.
Please refer to the maintenance chart in
this manual.
WARNING
Always stop the engine and make sure
that the cutting tool is stopped before
doing any maintenance or repair work or
cleaning the power tool.
WARNING
Do not attempt any maintenance or
repair work not described in your
instruction manual. Have such work
performed by your STIHL servicing
dealer only. For example, if improper
tools are used to remove the flywheel or
if an improper tool is used to hold the
flywheel in order to remove the clutch,
structural damage to the flywheel could
occur and could subsequently cause the
flywheel to burst.
Wear gloves when handling or
performing maintenance on saw chains.
WARNING
Use the specified spark plug and make
sure it and the ignition lead are always
clean and in good condition. Always
press spark plug boot snugly onto spark
plug terminal of the proper size. (Note: If
terminal has detachable SAE adapter
nut, it must be securely attached.) A
loose connection between spark plug
terminal and the ignition wire connector
in the boot may create arcing that could
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
