They are designed specifically for tree surgery and maintenance in the crown of the standing tree. They must not be used for logging or cutting firewood. Normal chain saws with wider spaced handles are recommended for such operations. Due to the special handle design (closely spaced handles) there is an increased risk of injury using this kind of saw (cut injuries due to uncontrolled reactive forces of the chain saw). Warning where there is a risk of an accident or personal injury or serious damage to property. Caution where there is a risk of damaging the machine or its individual components. Engineering improvements STIHL's philosophy is to continually improve all of its products. For this reason we may modify the design, engineering and appearance of our products periodically. Therefore, some changes, modifications and improvements may not be covered in this manual. Chain saw operators must be properly secured while working in a tree (e.g. lift bucket, personal safety equipment, safety harness). Operators must be specially trained for tree surgery work with the tree surgery chain saw: – in safe working techniques – in the use of personal safety equipment – in the use of fall protection equipment MS 200 T English Working in a tree requires the use of special cutting and working techniques which must be observed in order to avoid the increased risk of personal injury. To reduce the risk of accidents or injury, put off the work in poor weather conditions (rain, snow, ice, wind). Because a chain saw is a high-speed wood-cutting tool with very sharp cutters, some special safety precautions must be observed in addition to those that generally apply when working with an axe or hand saw. It is important you read and understand the instruction manual before using your machine for the first time and keep it in a safe place for future reference. Non-observance of the safety precautions may result in serious or even fatal injury. Always observe country-specific safety regulations, standards and ordinances. Minors should never be allowed to use a power tool. Exceptions to this rule are young persons older than 16 who have been trained in special cutting techniques with the tree surgery saw. Bystanders, especially childeren, and animals should not be allowed in the area where a power tool is in use. When the machine is not in use, shut it off so that it does not endanger others. Secure it against unauthorized use. MS 200 T The power tool user is responsible for avoiding injury to third parties or damage to their property. Lend or rent your chain saw only to persons who have been specially trained for tree surgery work with a tree surgery saw and are familiar with this model and its operation. Do not lend or rent your chain saw without the instruction manual. To operate the power tool you must be rested, in good physical condition and mental health. If you have any condition that might be aggravated by strenuous work, check with your doctor before operating a power tool. Persons with pacemakers only: The ignition system of your power tool produces an electromagnetic field of a very low intensity. This field may interfere with some pacemakers. To reduce health risks, STIHL recommends that persons with pacemakers consult their physician and the pacemaker manufacturer before operating this tool. Do not operate the power tool if you are under the influence of any substance (drugs, alcohol) which might impair visions, dexterity or judgment. Use your saw for cutting wood or wooden objects only. It must not be used for any other purpose because of the increased risk of accidents and damage to the machine. Never attempt to modify your power tool in any way since this may result in accidents or damage to the machine. identical. If you have any questions in this respect, consult a servicing dealer. Use only high quality parts and accessories in order to avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine. STIHL recommends the use of STIHL original tools, guide bars, chains, chain sprockets and accessories. These parts are specifically designed to match your machine model and meet your performance requirements. Clothing and Equipment Wear proper protective clothing and equipment. Clothing must be sturdy but allow complete freedom of movement. Wear snug-fitting clothing with cut retardant inserts for the feet, legs and forearms – a safety combination, not a coat. Avoid clothing that could get caught on branches or brush or moving parts of the machine. Do not wear a scarf, necktie or jewelry. Confine long hair (e.g. with a hair net, cap or hard hat). Wear safety boots, suitable for climbing, with cut retardant inserts, non-slip soles and steel toes. Only use tools, guide bars, chains, chain sprockets and accessories that are explicitly approved for this power tool model by STIHL or are technically 3 English Wear a safety hard hat (preferably with chin strap) where there is a danger of head injuries from falling objects. Wear safety glasses or face shield and hearing protection, e.g. earplugs or ear muffs. Wear heavy-duty gloves with cut retardant inserts. Use personal fall protection equipment. injuries, avoid touching hot parts of the machine, especially the surface of the muffler. This reduces the risk of unit vibrations causing the fuel cap to loosen or come off and spill quantities of fuel. Transporting in a vehicle: Properly secure your power tool to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and damage. Check for leakage. To reduce the risk of serious of fatal burn injuries, do not start or run the engine until leak is fixed. Fueling Before Starting Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. Keep clear of naked flames. Do not spill any fuel – do not smoke. Always shut off the engine.before refueling. Do not fuel a hot engine – fuel may spill and cause a fire. Use only certified equipment that is suitable for the application concerned. Check the condition of the equipment before each use and replace any damaged parts. STIHL offers a comprehensive range of personal protective clothing and equipment. Transporting the Chain Saw Always engage the chain brake and fit the chain guard (scabbard) before carrying the saw short distances. Also stop the engine before carrying the saw longer distances (more than about 50 m). Always carry the saw by the control handle – with the hot muffler away from your body – the guide bar must point to the rear. To avoid serious burn 4 Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any pressure build-up in the tank to release slowly and avoid fuel spillage. Fuel your power tool only in wellventilated areas. If you spill fuel, wipe the saw immediately. If fuel gets on your clothing, change immediately. Your power tool comes standard with either a screw-type or bayonet-type fuel cap. After fueling, tighten down the screw-type fuel cap as securely as possible. Insert the fuel cap with hinged grip (bayonet-type cap) correctly in the opening, turn it clockwise as far as stop and fold the grip down. Check that saw is properly assembled and in good condition. Refer to appropriate sections in the instruction manual: – Check operation of chain brake, front hand guard – Correctly mounted guide bar – Correctly tensioned chain – Smooth action of throttle trigger and throttle trigger interlock – throttle trigger must return automatically to idle position – Master control / stop switch must move easily to 0 or STOP – Check that the spark plug boot is secure – a loose boot may cause arcing that could ignite combustible fumes and cause a fire. – Never attempt to modify the controls or the safety devices in any way. – Keep the handles dry and clean – free from oil and pitch – for safe control of the chain saw. To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not operate your saw if it is damaged or not properly assembled. MS 200 T English Starting the engine Starting the saw in a tree is very dangerous since the user may lose control of the machine – risk of injury. The tree surgery saw should be checked, fueled, started and warmed up by an assistant on the ground before it is transported up to the operator in the tree. To reduce risk of chain rotation and personal injury, lock the chain with the chain brake before starting. Start the engine at least 3 meters from the fueling spot, outdoors only. The chain saw is a one-person saw. Do not allow other persons near the running chain saw, even when starting. Do not attempt to start the saw when the saw chain is in a cut Take special care in slippery conditions – damp, snow, ice, on slopes, uneven ground and freshly debarked logs. Watch out for obstacles such as tree stumps, roots and ditches which could cause you to trip or stumble. Make sure you always have good balance and secure footing. Do not work alone – keep within calling distance of other persons trained in first aid who can provide assistance in an emergency. Helpers at the cutting site must also wear protective clothing (hard hat) and stand well clear of the branches being cut. Be particularly alert and cautious when wearing hearing protection because your ability to hear warnings (shouts, alarms, etc.) is restricted. During Operation To reduce the risk of accidents, take a break in good time to avoid tiredness or exhaustion. When working in the tree, always secure the chain saw with a rope – tie it to the ring and attach it to the lifeline. Always engage the chain brake before letting the chain saw hang by the rope. To reduce risk of fire, keep hot exhaust gases and hot muffler away from easily combustible materials (e.g. wood chips, bark, dry grass, fuel). Mufflers with a catalytic converter can become particularly hot. In the event of impending danger or in an emergency, switch off the engine immediately by moving the Master Control / stop switch to 0 or STOP. Never leave a running machine unattended. When the engine is running: Note that the chain continues to rotate for a short period after you let go of the throttle trigger (flywheel effect). MS 200 T Your power tool produces toxic exhaust fumes as soon as the engine is running. These fumes may be colorless and odorless and contain unburned hydrocarbons and benzol. Never run the engine indoors or in poorly ventilated locations, even if your model is equipped with a catalytic converter. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from breathing toxic fumes, ensure proper ventilation when working in trenches, hollows or other confined locations. To reduce the risk of accidents, stop work immediately in the event of nausea, headache, visual disturbances (e.g. reduced field of vision), problems with hearing, dizziness, deterioration in ability to concentrate. Apart from other possibilities, these symptoms may be caused by an excessively high concentration of exhaust gases in the work area. The dusts, vapor and smoke produced during operation may be dangerous to health. If dust levels are very high, wear a suitable respirator. To reduce the risk of fire, do not smoke while operating or standing near your power tool. Note that combustible fuel vapor may escape from the fuel system. If your power tool is subjected to unusually high loads for which it was not designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall), 5 English Quickstop chain brake: always check that it is in good condition before continuing work – see also "Before Starting". This device reduces the risk of injury in certain situations – it cannot prevent kickback. If activated, the brake stops the saw chain within a fraction of a second – for a description of this device refer to chapter on "Chain Brake" in this manual. Check the fuel system in particular for leaks and make sure the safety devices are working properly. Do not continue operating your power tool if it is damaged. In case of doubt, have the machine checked by your servicing dealer. To reduce the risk of kickback 001BA036 KN Make sure the chain does not rotate while the engine is idling. If necessary, adjust idle speed properly. If the chain still rotates, have the saw checked by your servicing dealer. Reactive Forces The most common reactive forces that occur during cutting are: kickback, pushback and pull-in. Dangers of kickback Kickback occurs when the saw is suddenly thrown up and back in an uncontrolled arc towards the operator. Kickback occurs, e.g. 001BA093 LÄ Kickback can result in serious or fatal injury. – – 6 when the upper quadrant of the bar nose unintentionally contacts wood or another solid object, e.g. when another limb is touched accidentally during limbing. – Work cautiously and avoid situations which could cause kickback. – Hold the saw firmly with both hands and maintain a secure grip. – Always cut at full throttle. – Be aware of the location of the guide bar nose at all times. – Do not cut with the bar nose. – Take special care with small, tough limbs, they may catch the chain. – Never cut several limbs at once. – Do not overreach. – Never cut above shoulder height. – Use extreme caution when reentering a previous cut. – Do not attempt plunge cuts if you are not experience in this cutting technique. – Be alert for shifting of the log or other forces that may cause the cut to close and pinch the chain. when the chain at the nose of the guide bar is pinched in the cut. MS 200 T English – Always cut with a correctly sharpened, properly tensioned chain – the depth gauge setting must not be too large. – Use a low kickback chain and a narrow radius guide bar. – Be alert to situations that may cause the top of the guide bar to be pinched – Do not twist the guide bar in the cut. Limbs under tension: A 001BA037 KN 001BA081 KN Pull-in (A) Pull-in occurs when the chain on the bottom of the bar is suddenly pinched, caught or encounters a foreign object in the wood. The reaction of the chain pulls the saw forward – always hold the spiked bumper securely against the tree or limb. B 001BA038 KN Pushback (B) Pushback occurs when the chain on the top of the bar is suddenly pinched, caught or encounters a foreign object in the wood. The reaction of the chain drives the saw straight back toward the operator. To avoid pushback. MS 200 T Holding and Controlling the Unit N Always start relieving cut (1) at the compression side (A). N Make relieving cut (1) and then perform bucking cut (2) at the tension side (B) – the saw will otherwise pinch or kick back. If not otherwise possible, make the bucking cut from the bottom upwards (underbuck) – be wary of pushback. To reduce the risk of accidents and injuries, always hold your saw firmly with both hands: Right hand on the control handle, even if you are left-handed. To ensure safe control, wrap your fingers tightly around the front handle and control handle. Make sure you always have good balance and secure footing. To avoid slipping, take special care when the bark is wet. One-handed operation is particularly dangerous, e.g. when cutting dry, knotty and dead wood, the chain may not enter the cut properly. The resultant reactive forces may cause the saw to skate or bounce on the limb and slide out of control. This increases the risk of serious or even fatal injury. Use the tree surgery chain saw with one hand only: 7 English – if two-handed cutting is not possible and – if one hand is required for support during the cut and – if the saw is held firmly and – if all parts of your body are clear of the cutting attachment. During one-handed cutting: – never support yourself on the limb being cut – never cut with the bar nose – never attempt to hold falling limbs – Cut straight through thin limbs – In case of thick limbs, first perform relieving cut from below (approx. 1/5 of diameter), then buck from above – Support and secure heavy branches with ropes. Never work on a ladder or on any other insecure support, do not work above shoulder height. Begin cutting with the saw at full throttle and (if possible) engage the spiked bumper firmly in the wood, and then continue cutting. Work calmly and carefully – in daylight conditions and only when visibility is good. Ensure you do not endanger others – stay alert at all times. Use the shortest possible guide bar: The chain, guide bar and chain sprocket must match each other and your saw. Cutting techniques: 8 001BA064 LÄ Do not operate your saw with the starting throttle lock engaged. Engine speed cannot be controlled with the throttle trigger in this position. Always pull the saw out of the cut with the chain running. If the saw gets pinched in the cut: – Shut off the engine and secure the saw to the tree – in direction of trunk. – Carefully free the saw from the cut, using another saw if necessary. Make sure your saw does not touch any foreign materials: Stones, nails, etc. may be flung off and damage the saw chain. The saw may kick back unexpectedly – risk of accidents. Cutting Always work with the spiked bumper so that you have better control of the saw. If you work without the spiked bumper the saw may pull you forwards suddenly. Take special care when cutting through a limb. Hold the machine firmly to control and counteract the feed force. Note when reaching the end of a cut that the saw is no longer supported in the kerf. You have to take the full weight of the saw since it might otherwise go out of control. If conditions allow, work from a lift bucket. Cordon off the work area in order to reduce the risk of injuries and damage to property from falling branches (e.g. motor vehicles). When working with a lifeline there is a risk of cutting through the rope – to reduce the risk of fall injuries , always use double lifelines. Warning! To avoid risk of electrocution, take extra precautions when cutting near power lines. Have the power switched off before starting cutting work in the immediate vicinity of power lines. Do not underbuck freely hanging limbs because the chain may get pinched and cause kickback and loss of control. To reduce the risk of injury, take special care when cutting shattered wood because of the risk of injury from slivers being caught and thrown in your direction. After finishing a cut, activate the chain brake to lock the chain or shut off the engine before moving the saw to another position in the tree. MS 200 T English Vibrations Prolonged use of the power tool may result in vibration-induced circulation problems in the hands (whitefinger disease). No general recommendation can be given for the length of usage because it depends on several factors. The period of usage is prolonged by: – – Hand protection (wearing warm gloves) Work breaks The period of usage is shortened by: – Any personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation (symptoms: frequently cold fingers, tingling sensations). – Low outside temperatures. – The force with which the handles are held (a tight grip restricts circulation). Continual and regular users should monitor closely the condition of their hands and fingers. If any of the above symptoms appear (e.g. tingling sensation in fingers), seek medical advice. Maintenance and Repairs Service the machine regularly. Do not attempt any maintenance or repair work not described in the instruction manual. Have all other work performed by a servicing dealer. MS 200 T STIHL recommends that you have servicing and repair work carried out exclusively by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are regularly given the opportunity to attend training courses and are supplied with the necessary technical information. Only use high-quality replacement parts in order to avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine. If you have any questions in this respect, consult a servicing dealer. To reduce the risk of fire and damage to hearing, do not operate your machine if the muffler is damaged or missing. – Do not touch a hot muffler since burn injury will result. Vibration behavior is influenced by the condition of the AV elements – check the AV elements at regular intervals. Check the chain catcher and replace it if damaged. STIHL recommends the use of genuine STIHL replacement parts. They are specifically designed to match your model and meet your performance requirements. Stopping the Engine To reduce the risk of injury, always shut off the engine before carrying out any maintenance or repairs or cleaning the machine. – Exception: Carburetor and idle speed adjustments. Do not turn the engine over on the starter with the spark plug boot or spark plug removed unless the slide control / stop switch is on STOP or 0 since there is otherwise a risk of fire from uncontained sparking. To reduce the risk of fire, do not service or store your machine near open flames. Check the fuel filler cap for leaks at regular intervals. Use only a spark plug of the type approved by STIHL and make sure it is in good condition – see "Specifications". Inspect the ignition lead (insulation in good condition, secure connection). Check the condition of the muffler. – before checking chain tension. – before retensioning the chain. – before replacing the chain. – before rectifying problems. Observe sharpening instructions – keep the chain and guide bar in good condition at all times for safe and correct handling of the saw. The chain must be properly sharpened, tensioned and well lubricated. Always change the chain, guide bar and sprocket in good time. Check condition of clutch drum periodically. Store fuel and chain lubricant in properly labelled, safety-type canisters only. When handling gasoline, avoid direct contact with the skin and avoid inhaling fuel vapour – health risk. To reduce the risk of injury, shut off the engine immediately if the chain brake malfunctions – contact your servicing dealer – do not use your power tool until the problem has been rectified (see "Chain Brake"). 9 English Mounting the guide bar Mounting the Bar and Chain Releasing the chain brake 7 A cutting attachment consists of the saw chain, guide bar and chain sprocket. 4 8 – 3 001BA191 KN a t=a:2 – N 2 10 Turn the screw (7) counterclockwise until the tensioner slide (8) butts against left end of housing slot. 9 Removing the chain sprocket cover 10 The pitch (t) of the saw chain (1), chain sprocket and the nose sprocket of the Rollomatic guide bar must match. 6 The drive link gauge (2) of the saw chain (1) must match the groove width of the guide bar (3).

N Use a screwdriver to turn the tensioning screw (1) clockwise until the chain fits snugly against the underside of the bar. N While still holding the bar nose up, tighten down the nut firmly. N Go to "Checking Chain Tension". A new chain has to be retensioned more often than one that has been in use for some time. N MS 200 T 142BA063 KN 142BA061 KN 11 Check chain tension frequently – see chapter on "Operating Instructions". 11 English Checking Chain Tension Fuel Your engine requires a mixture of gasoline and engine oil. 142BA064 KN For health reasons, avoid direct skin contact with gasoline and avoid inhaling gasoline vapor. N Shut off the engine. N Wear work gloves to protect your hands. N The chain must fit snugly against the underside of the bar and it must still be possible to pull the chain along the bar by hand when the chain brake is released. N If necessary, retension the chain. A new chain has to be retensioned more often than one that has been in use for some time. N Check chain tension frequently – see chapter on "Operating Instructions". STIHL MotoMix STIHL recommends the use of STIHL MotoMix. This ready-to-use fuel mix contains no benzol or lead, has a high octane rating and ensures that you always use the right mix ratio. STIHL MotoMix is specially formulated for use in STIHL engines and guarantees a long engine life. MotoMix is not available in all markets. Mixing Fuel Unsuitable fuels or lubricants or mix ratios other than those specified may result in serious damage to the engine. Poor quality gasoline or engine oil may damage the engine, sealing rings, hoses and the fuel tank. Gasoline A few tankfuls of leaded gasoline will greatly reduce the efficiency of the catalytic converter. Gasoline with an ethanol content of more than 10% can cause running problems in engines with a manually adjustable carburetor and should not be used in such engines. Engines equipped with M-Tronic deliver full power when run on gasoline with an ethanol content of up to 25% (E25). Engine Oil Use only quality two-stroke engine oil. We recommend STIHL two-stroke engine oil since it is specially formulated for use in STIHL engines and guarantees a long engine life. If STIHL two-stroke engine oil is not available, use only quality two-stroke oil designed for use in air-cooled engines. Do not use oils designed for watercooled engines or engines with a separate lubricating system (e.g. conventional four-stroke engines). Use only STIHL 50:1 two-stroke engine oil for the fuel mix in models with a catalytic converter. Mix Ratio STIHL 50:1 two-stroke engine oil: 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil Use only high-quality brand-name gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 90 – leaded or unleaded. If your machine is equipped with a catalytic converter, you must use unleaded gasoline. 12 MS 200 T English Examples Other brand-name two-stroke engine oils: 25 parts gasoline to 1 part oil Store fuel only in approved safety-type fuel canisters in a dry, cool and safe location protected from light and the sun. Fuel mix ages – only mix sufficient fuel for a few weeks work. Do not store fuel mix for longer than 3 months. Exposure to light, the sun, low or high temperatures can quickly make the fuel mix unusable. N 1/2 N N Before fueling, clean the filler cap and the area around it to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank. Position the machine so that the filler cap is facing up. Dispose of remaining fuel and cleaning fluid properly in accordance with local regulations and environmental requirements. MS 200 T Remove the cap. Fueling Take care not to spill fuel while fueling and do not overfill the tank. Opening STIHL recommends you use the STIHL filler nozzle for fuel (special accessory). N Thoroughly shake the mixture in the canister before fueling your machine. Clean the fuel tank and canister from time to time. N 1/1 Pressure may build up in the canister – open it carefully. N Rotate the cap about 1/4 turn counterclockwise. MIX Use a canister approved for storing fuel. Pour oil into canister first, then add gasoline and mix thoroughly.

MS 200 T English Filling Chain Oil Tank Biological chain oil must be resistant to aging (e.g. STIHL Bioplus) since it will otherwise quickly turn to resin. This results in hard deposits that are difficult to remove, especially in the area of the chain drive, clutch and chain. It may even cause the oil pump to seize. The service life of the chain and guide bar depends on the quality of the lubricant. It is therefore essential to use only a specially formulated chain lubricant. Do not use waste oil. Renewed contact with waste oil can cause skin cancer. Moreover, waste oil is environmentally harmful. Waste oil does not have the necessary lubricating properties and is unsuitable for chain lubrication. 142BA068 KN For automatic and reliable lubrication of the chain and guide bar – use only an environmentally compatible quality chain and bar lubricant. Rapidly biodegradable STIHL Bioplus is recommended. Checking Chain Lubrication N Thoroughly clean the oil filler cap and the area around it to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank. N Open the filler cap. N Refill the chain oil tank every time you refuel. N Close the filler cap. There must still be a small amount of oil in the oil tank when the fuel tank is empty. If the oil level in the tank does not go down, the reason may be a fault in the oil supply system: Check chain lubrication, clean the oilways, contact your dealer for assistance if necessary STIHL recommends that you have servicing and repair work carried out exclusively by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer. 142BA069 KN Chain Lubricant The saw chain must always throw off a small amount of oil. Never operate your saw without chain lubrication. If the chain runs dry, the whole cutting attachment will be irretrievably damaged within a very short time. Always check chain lubrication and the oil level in the tank before starting work. Every new chain has to be broken in for about 2 to 3 minutes. After breaking in the chain, check chain tension and adjust if necessary – see "Checking Chain Tension". MS 200 T 15 English Chain Brake Locking the chain Always disengage chain brake before accelerating the engine (except when checking its operation) and before starting cutting work. Full-time professional usage: Semi-professional usage: every 3 months every 6 months High revs with the chain brake engaged (chain locked) will quickly damage the powerhead and chain drive (clutch, chain brake). The chain brake is also activated by the inertia of the front hand guard if the kickback force of the saw is high enough: The hand guard is accelerated toward the bar nose. – in an emergency – when starting – at idling speed The chain brake is activated by pushing the hand guard toward the bar nose with your left hand – or by inertia in certain kickback situations: The chain is stopped and locked. Releasing the chain brake The chain brake will operate only if the hand guard has not been modified in any way. Check operation of the chain brake Before starting work: Run engine at idle speed, engage the chain brake (push hand guard toward bar nose) and open the throttle wide for no more than 3 seconds – the chain must not rotate. The hand guard must be free from dirt and move freely. Chain brake maintenance N 16 Pull the hand guard back toward the front handle, The chain brake is subject to normal wear. It is necessary to have it serviced and maintained regularly by trained personnel. STIHL recommends that you have servicing and repair work carried out exclusively by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer. Maintain the following servicing intervals: MS 200 T English Winter Operation Setting the Master Control lever Starting / Stopping the Engine To move the Master Control lever from the normal run position (F) to cold start (n), press down the throttle trigger lockout and squeeze the throttle trigger at the same time. The four positions of the Master Control lever: At temperatures below about 10°C To select warm start (n), move the Master Control lever to cold start (l) first, then push it into the warm start position (n). The change to warm start (n) is possible only from the cold start position (l). Take out the screw (1).

Operating Instructions During the break-in period A factory new machine should not be run at high revs (full throttle off load) for the first three tank fillings. This avoids unnecessarily high loads during the break-in period. As all moving parts have to bed in during the break-in period, the frictional resistances in the shortblock are greater during this period. The engine develops its maximum power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings. Chain cold Tension is correct when the chain fits snugly against the underside of the bar but can still be pulled along the bar by hand. Retension if necessary – see "Tensioning the Saw Chain". Chain at operating temperature The chain stretches and begins to sag. The drive links must not come out of the bar groove on the underside of the bar – the chain may otherwise jump off the bar. Retension the chain – see "Tensioning the Saw Chain". The chain contracts as it cools down. If it is not slackened off, it can damage the crankshaft and bearings. During work Do not make the mixture leaner to achieve an apparent increase in power – this could damage the engine – see "Adjusting the Carburetor". Open the throttle only when the chain brake is off. Running the engine at high revs with the chain brake engaged (chain locked) will quickly damage the shortblock and chain drive (clutch, chain brake). Check chain tension frequently A new saw chain must be retensioned more frequently than one that has been in use already for an extended period. 20 After a long period of full-throttle operation After a long period of full-throttle operation, allow engine to run for a while at idle speed so that the heat in the engine can be dissipated by flow of cooling air. This protects enginemounted components (ignition, carburetor) from thermal overload. After finishing work N Slacken off the chain if you have retensioned it at operating temperature during work. Always slacken off the chain again after finishing work. The chain contracts as it cools down. If it is not slackened off, it can damage the crankshaft and bearings. MS 200 T English Short-term storage Wait for engine to cool down. Keep the machine with a full tank of fuel in a dry place, well away from sources of ignition, until you need it again. Oil Quantity Control Taking Care of the Guide Bar Different quantities of oil are required for different bar lengths, types of wood and cutting techniques.
