Stihl SP 92 T Instruction Manual page 7

Note that the rakes and tines continue to
run for a short period after you let go of
the throttle trigger (flywheel effect).
Check idle speed setting: The rakes and
tines must not move when the engine is
idling with the throttle trigger released.
To reduce the risk of fire, keep hot
exhaust gases and hot muffler away
from easily combustible materials (e.g.
wood chips, bark, dry grass, fuel).
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Always hold the power tool firmly with
both hands on the handles. Make sure
you always have good balance and
secure footing.
Wrap your fingers and thumbs around
the handles. Right hand on control
handle, left hand on handle hose on
drive tube, even if you are left-handed.
SP 92 TC
The machine can be carried on a
shoulder strap to relieve the weight on
the operator's arms.
During Operation
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, switch off the engine
immediately – move the stop switch /
slide control in the direction of 0.
To reduce the risk of injury from falling
objects, do not allow bystanders within a
radius of 5 meters of your own position.
To reduce the risk of damage to
property, also maintain this distance
from other objects (vehicles, windows).
Make sure the idle speed setting is
correct. The rakes and tines must not
move when the engine is idling with the
throttle trigger released.
Check and correct the idle speed setting
regularly. If the rakes and tines still run
when the engine is idling, have your
dealer check your machine and make
proper adjustments or repairs. STIHL
recommends a STIHL servicing dealer.
Take special care in slippery conditions
on slopes and uneven ground.
Clear away fallen branches and scrub.
Watch out for obstacles: Roots and tree
stumps which could cause you to trip or
stumble.
Make sure you always have good
balance and secure footing.
When working at heights:
Always use a lift bucket
–
Never work on a ladder
–
Never work in a tree
–
Never work on an insecure support
–
Never operate your machine with
–
one hand
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a
break in good time to avoid tiredness or
exhaustion.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Stay alert so as not to endanger
others.
Your power tool produces
toxic exhaust fumes as
soon as the engine is
running. These fumes
may be colorless and
odorless and contain
unburned hydrocarbons
and benzol. Never run
the engine indoors or in
poorly ventilated loca -
tions, even if your model
is equipped with a cata -
lytic converter.
