Safety Precautions English / USA This top handle chainsaw is designed specifically for tree surgery and maintenance in the tree. Due to the special compact handle design (closely spaced handles), there is an increased risk of injury from loss of control. (Cut injuries due to uncontrolled reactive forces of the chainsaw or leg injuries due to the saw "dropping" at the end of the cut.) For this reason these special chainsaws should be used only for work in a tree by persons who are trained in special cutting and working techniques and who are properly secured (lift bucket, ropes, safety harness). Regular chainsaws (with wider spaced handles) are recommended for all other cutting work at ground level. !Warning! Working in a tree requires the use of special cutting and working techniques which must be observed in order to reduce the increased risk of personal injury. Never work in a tree unless you have received specific, professional training for such work, including training in the use of the safety and other climbing equipment, such as harnesses, ropes, belts, climbing irons, snap hooks, carabiners, etc. !Warning! The use of any chainsaw may be hazardous. The saw chain has many sharp cutters. If the cutters contact your flesh, they will cut you, even if the chain is not moving. At full throttle, the chain speed can reach 45 mph (20 m/s). It is important that you read, fully understand and observe the following safety precautions and warnings. Read the owner's manual and the safety instructions periodically. !Warning! Reactive forces, including kickback, can be dangerous. Careless or improper use of any chainsaw may cause serious or fatal injury. Pay special attention to the section on reactive forces. All safety precautions that are generally observed when working with an axe or a hand saw also apply to the operation of chainsaws. However, because a chainsaw is a high-speed, fast-cutting power tool, special safety precautions must be observed to reduce the risk of personal injury. Have your STlHL dealer show you how to operate your chainsaw. Observe all applicable local safety regulations, standards and ordinances. !Warning! Minors should never be allowed to use a chainsaw. Bystanders, especially children, and animals should not be allowed in the area where a chainsaw is in use. Never let the saw run unattended. Do not lend or rent your chainsaw without the owner's manual. Be sure that anyone using your saw reads and understands the information contained in this manual. Different models may have different parts and controls. See the appropriate section of your owner's manual for a description of the controls and function of the parts of your model saw. Safe use of a chainsaw involves 1. the operator 2. the saw 3. the use of the saw. MS 191 T 5

English / USA
This top handle chainsaw is designed
specifically for tree surgery and
maintenance in the tree.
Due to the special
compact handle design
(closely spaced
handles), there is an
increased risk of injury
from loss of control.
(Cut injuries due to uncontrolled reactive
forces of the chainsaw or leg injuries due
to the saw “dropping” at the end of the
cut.)
For this reason these
special chainsaws
should be used only for
work in a tree by
persons who are trained
in special cutting and
working techniques and who are
properly secured (lift bucket, ropes,
safety harness).
Regular chainsaws (with wider spaced
handles) are recommended for all other
cutting work at ground level.
!
Warning!
Working in a tree requires the use of
special cutting and working techniques
which must be observed in order to
reduce the increased risk of personal
injury.
Never work in a tree unless you have
received specific, professional training
for such work, including training in the
use of the safety and other climbing
equipment, such as harnesses, ropes,
belts, climbing irons, snap hooks,
carabiners, etc.
!
Warning!

may be hazardous. The
saw chain has many
sharp cutters. If the

All safety precautions that are generally
observed when working with an axe or a
