Fueling Instructions
Fuel your chainsaw in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors only. Always shut off the
engine and allow it to cool before
refueling. Gasoline vapor pressure may
build up inside the fueltank of a two cycle
engine depending on the fuel used, the
weather conditions, and the venting
system of the tank. In order to reduce the
risk of burns or other personal injury
from escaping gas vapor and fumes,
remove the fuel filler cap on the STIHL
product carefully so as to allow any
pressure build-up in the tank to release
slowly. Never remove fuel filler cap while
the engine is running.
Select bare ground for fueling and move
at least 10 feet (3 m) from fueling spot
before starting the engine.
Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting
your saw, and check for leakage.
!
Warning!
Check for fuel leakage while refueling
and during operation. If fuel or oil
leakage is found, do not start or run the
engine until leak is fixed and spilled fuel
has been wiped away. Take care not to
get fuel on your clothing. If this happens,
change your clothing immediately.
MS 192 T
Cap with Grip
!
Warning!
In order to reduce the risk of fuel spillage
and fire from an improperly tightened
fuel cap, correctly position and tighten
the fuel cap in the fuel tank opening.
To do this with this STIHL
cap, raise the grip on the
top of the cap until it is
upright at a 90° angle.
Insert the cap in the fuel
tank opening with the
triangular marks on the grip of the cap
and on the fuel tank opening lining up.
Using the grip, turn the cap firmly
clockwise as far as it will go (approx. a
quarter turn).
Fold the grip flush with the
top of the cap. If the grip
does not lie completely
flush with the cap and the
detent on the grip does
not fit in the
corresponding recess in the filler neck,
the cap is not properly seated and
tightened and you must repeat the
above steps.
Slotted Cap
!
Warning!
Unit vibrations can cause an improperly
tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off
and spill quantities of fuel. In order to
reduce risk of fuel spillage and fire,
tighten the fuel cap by hand with as
much force as possible.
The screwdriver end of
the STIHL combination
wrench or other similar
tool can be used as an aid
in tightening slotted fuel
caps.
Starting
The chain brake must be engaged when
starting the saw.
!
Warning!
Your chainsaw is a one-person saw.
Do not allow other persons to be near
the running chainsaw. Start and operate
your saw without assistance. For
specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of the owner's
manual. Proper starting methods reduce
the risk of injury. Do not drop start.
This method is very dangerous because
you may lose control of the saw.
