English 11.4 Mounting and Removing the Depth Limiter 11.4.1 Mounting the Depth Limiter WARNING The depth limiter is intended for the use only on the STIHL MS 462 C-M R Rescue Saw for fire and rescue operations by specially trained personnel. The cutting depth or plunge depth of the cutting attachment can be set by means of a sliding metal sleeve that is moveable within a preset range along a specially prepared guidebar. Its sole purpose is to limit the depth of entry into material, which may be useful to fire and rescue personnel when cutting into walls, etc. It is not designed to protect the operator from saw chain contact. The additional weight of the depth limiter will make the chain saw more nose-heavy. WARNING To reduce the risk of serious or fatal cut injuries from unintended activation of the cutting attachment, always switch off the engine and activate the chain brake before installing, adjusting or removing the depth limiter. The depth limiter (special accessory) is intended exclusively for use with the STIHL MS 462 C-M R Rescue Saw. It slides within a preset range along a special guide bar to allow adjustment of the cutting or plunge depth. Before you can mount the depth limiter, you must reposition the bumper spike.
