Stihl MSA 160 C Manual De Instrucciones página 7

To reduce the risk of
injury to your eyes never
operate your power tool
unless wearing goggles
or properly fitted protec-
tive glasses with
adequate top and side
protection complying with
ANSI Z87.1 (or your
applicable national stand-
ard). If there is a risk of
injury to your face, STIHL
recommends that you
also wear a face shield or
face screen over your
goggles or protective
glasses.
Wear an approved safety
hard hat to reduce the
risk of injury to your head
when there is a danger of
head injuries.
Chain saw noise may damage your
hearing. Such damage can result from a
combination of noise level and length of
usage. Although this battery powered
product is relatively quiet, STIHL
recommends that operators wear sound
barriers (ear plugs or ear mufflers) if
using the saw for more than 2.5 hours
during the course of a day. 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.

THE CHAIN SAW
For illustrations and definitions of the
chain saw parts see the chapter on
"Main Parts."
WARNING
Never modify this chain saw in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or
expressly approved by STIHL for use
with the specific STIHL model are
authorized. Although certain
unauthorized attachments are useable
with STIHL chain saws, their use may, in
fact, be extremely dangerous.
WARNING
Never operate your chain saw if it is
damaged, improperly adjusted or
maintained, or not completely or
securely assembled.
If this chain saw is subjected to
unusually high loads for which it was not
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall),
always check that it is in good condition
before continuing work. Check in
particular that the controls and safety
devices are working properly. Do not
continue operating this machine if it is
damaged. In case of doubt, have it
checked by your STIHL servicing dealer.
THE USE OF THE CHAIN SAW
Transporting the Chain Saw
WARNING
Always switch off the motor and engage
the chain brake by moving the front hand
guard to ƒ before putting the chain saw
down. This avoids the risk of the motor
starting unintentionally. Carrying a chain
saw with the motor running may be
extremely dangerous.
Accidental acceleration of the motor can
cause the saw chain to rotate. Always
engage the chain brake by moving the
front hand guard to ƒ when taking more
than a few steps.
By hand: When transporting your chain
saw by hand, the motor must be
switched off with the chain brake
engaged and the chain saw must be in
the proper position, i.e., grip the top
handle; the chain guard (scabbard)
should be over the chain and guide bar,
which should point backwards, away
from the direction in which you are
walking.
By vehicle: When transporting in a
vehicle, keep saw chain and bar covered
with the chain guard (scabbard).
