Stihl HT 56 C Manual De Instrucciones página 13

Warning!
To reduce the risk of severe or even
fatal injury from falling objects do not cut
vertically above your body. Hold the
pole pruner at an angle of not more than
60° from the horizontal level (see pic-
ture). Objects may fall in unexpected
directions. Do not stand directly under-
neath the limb being cut!
Watch for falling wood! As soon as the
limbed branch starts to fall, step aside
and keep a sufficient distance away from
the falling wood.
HT 56 C
Warning!
Always pull the unit out of the cut with
the chain running to reduce the possibil-
ity of pinching the cutting attachment.
Don't put pressure on the pole pruner
when reaching the end of a cut. The
pressure may cause the bar and rotat-
ing chain to pop out of the cut or kerf, go
out of control and strike some other
object.
If the bar becomes pinched and caught
in the branch so that the chain can no
longer move, shut off the pole pruner
and carefully move the branch to open
the pinch and release the bar.
Warning!
Never modify your muffler. Any modifi-
cation could cause an increase in heat
radiation, sparks or sound level, thereby
increasing the risk of fire, burn injury or
hearing loss. You may also permanently
damage the engine. Have your muffler
serviced and repaired by your STIHL
servicing dealer only.
Warning!
The muffler and other parts of the
engine (e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark
plug) become hot during operation and
remain hot for a while after stopping the
engine. To reduce risk of burns, do not
touch the muffler and other parts while
they are hot. Keep the area around the
muffler clean. Remove excess lubricant
and all debris such as pine needles,
branches or leaves. Let the engine cool
down sitting on concrete, metal, bare
ground or solid wood (e.g. the trunk of a
felled tree) away from any combustible
substances.
Warning!
An improperly mounted or damaged cyl-
inder housing or a damaged/deformed
muffler shell may interfere with the cool-
ing process of the muffler. To reduce the
risk of fire or burn injury, do not continue
work with a damaged or improperly
mounted cylinder housing or a dam-
aged/deformed muffler shell.
Your muffler is furnished with a spark
arresting screen designed to reduce the
risk of fire from the emission of hot
particles. Never operate your unit with a
missing or damaged spark arresting
screen. If your gas/oil mix ratio is correct
(i.e., not too rich), this screen will
normally stay clean as a result of the
heat from the muffler and need no
service or maintenance. If you
experience loss of performance and you
suspect a clogged screen, have your
muffler maintained by a STIHL servicing
dealer. Some state or federal laws or
regulations may require a properly
maintained spark arrestor for certain
