Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running. 7. Before you switch on the motor, make sure that the saw chain is not contacting anything. 8. Carry the chainsaw with the motor stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear. 9. Do not operate a chainsaw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. 10. Shut off the motor before setting the chainsaw down. 11. Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance. 12. When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for springback so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released. 13. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil. 14. Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree unless you have been specifically trained to do so. 15. All chainsaw service, other than the items listed in the Owner's Manual maintenance instructions, should be performed by competent chainsaw service personnel. 16. When transporting your chainsaw, use the appropriate chain guard (scabbard). 17. Reduced kickback bars and low kickback chains are designed to reduce the risk of kickback injury. Ask your STIHL dealer about these devices. Other important safety precautions are contained in the body of the Owner's Manual. Note: When using a chainsaw for logging purposes, refer to the Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 1910 and 1928. 4 MSE 140 C, MSE 160 C, MSE 180 C, MSE 200 C
