WARNING
Check that the spark plug boot is
securely mounted on the spark plug – a
loose boot may cause arcing that could
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
For proper assembly of the bar and
chain follow the procedure described in
the chapter "Mounting the Bar and
Chain" of your instruction manual.
STIHL Oilomatic chain, guide bar and
sprocket must match each other in
gauge and pitch. Before replacing any
bar and chain, see the chapter entitled
"Specifications" in the instruction
manual and the section "Kickback" and
the "ANSI B 175.1-2000 chain saw
chain saw kickback standard" below.
WARNING
Proper tension of the chain is extremely
important. In order to avoid improper
setting, the tensioning procedure must
be followed as described in your
manual. Always make sure the
hexagonal nut(s) for the sprocket cover
is (are) tightened securely after
tensioning the chain in order to secure
the bar. Never start the saw with the
sprocket cover loose. Check chain
tension once more after having
tightened the nut(s) and thereafter at
regular intervals (whenever the saw is
shut off). If the chain becomes loose
while cutting, shut off the engine and
then tighten. Never try to adjust the
chain while the engine is running!
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix,
grease or resin in order for you to
maintain a firm grip and properly control
your power tool.
Depth Limiter
The depth limiter is intended for the use
only on the STIHL MS 461 Magnum
"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 chain contact. The
additional weight of the depth limiter will
make the chain saw more nose-heavy.
For mounting instructions see the
chapter entitled "Depth Limiter" in this
manual.
Starting
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and burn
injuries, start the engine at least 10 feet
(3 m) from the fueling spot, outdoors
only.
Start and operate your saw without
assistance. For specific starting
instructions, see the appropriate section
of the instruction manual. Proper starting
methods reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from chain
contact and / or reactive forces, the
chain brake must be engaged when
starting the saw.
WARNING
Do not drop start. This method is very
dangerous because you may lose
control of the saw.
There are two recommended methods
for starting your chain saw.
With the first recommended method, the
chain saw is started on the ground.
Make sure the chain brake is engaged
(see "Chain Brake" chapter in your
instruction manual) and place the chain
saw on firm ground or other solid surface
in an open area. Maintain good balance
and secure footing.
Grip the front handlebar of the saw firmly
with your left hand and press down. For
saws with a rear handle level with the
ground, put the toe of your right foot into
the rear handle and press down. With
your right hand pull out the starter grip
slowly until you feel a definite resistance
and then give it a brisk, strong pull.
