Stihl MS 200 T Manual De Instrucciones página 7

Good footing is very
important. Wear sturdy
boots with nonslip soles.
Steel-toed safety boots
suitable for climbing in
trees are recommended.
Never operate your power tool unless
wearing goggles or properly fitted
protective glasses with adequate top
and side protection complying with ANSI
Z 87.1 (or your applicable national
standard).
Always wear gloves
when handling the
machine and the cutting
attachment. Heavy-duty,
nonslip gloves improve
your grip and help to pro-
tect your hands.
Wear an approved safety
hard hat to reduce the
risk of injury to your head.
Chain saw noise may
damage your hearing.
Wear sound barriers (ear
plugs or ear mufflers) to
help protect your hearing.
Continual and regular
users should have their
hearing checked
regularly.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Any crew member in the cutting area
should also wear proper protective
clothing, especially hard hats, to protect
their heads.

THE POWER TOOL
For illustrations and definitions of the
power tool parts see the chapter on
"Main Parts and Controls".
Warning!
Never operate your power tool if it is
damaged, improperly adjusted or main-
tained, or not completely or securely
assembled.
Warning!
Never modify this power tool in any way.

expressly approved by STIHL for use

authorized. Although certain unauthor-

fact, be extremely dangerous.
THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL
Transporting the Power Tool
Warning!
Always stop the engine before putting a
chain saw down or carrying it. Carrying
a chain saw with the engine running is
extremely dangerous. Accidental accel-
eration of the engine can cause the
chain to rotate. Always engage the
chain brake when taking more than a
few steps.
By hand: When carrying your saw by
hand, the engine must be switched off
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.
Fuel
Your STIHL power tool uses an oil-
gasoline mixture for fuel (see chapter on
"Fuel" of your instruction manual).
