Stihl MS 193 T Specification

The Stihl MS 193 T is a lightweight, top-handle chainsaw designed specifically for professional arborists and tree care specialists. Featuring a compact construction, it offers an optimal power-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for precision work in confined spaces. The chainsaw is powered by a 30.1 cc, 2-MIX engine that delivers efficient performance with reduced emissions and fuel consumption, meeting stringent environmental standards. Weighing only 3.3 kg without fuel, the MS 193 T is engineered for ease of use and maneuverability.

Equipped with a 12 to 16-inch guide bar, the chainsaw provides versatility for various cutting tasks. The Ematic lubrication system ensures precise oil delivery, reducing chain oil consumption and extending bar and chain life. The MS 193 T features an anti-vibration system that minimizes operator fatigue by reducing the transfer of engine vibrations to the handles. This is complemented by the side-access chain tensioner, which allows for easy chain adjustments without the need for tools.

The chainsaw incorporates a top-handle design, optimized for in-tree work where operators require stable and controlled handling. Safety is prioritized with the inclusion of a quick-stop chain brake that halts the chain in fractions of a second during kickback situations. The MS 193 T also features a purge pump primer for easier starting, even in cold conditions. Overall, the Stihl MS 193 T is a robust and reliable tool that combines high-performance capabilities with ergonomic design, making it a preferred choice for professional tree care operations.

Stihl MS 193 T F.A.Q.

How do I properly start the Stihl MS 193 T chainsaw?

To start the Stihl MS 193 T, first ensure the chain brake is engaged. Move the master control lever to the choke position if the engine is cold. Pull the starter rope until the engine fires briefly, then move the control lever to the run position and pull the starter rope again until the engine starts.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the Stihl MS 193 T?

It's recommended to clean the air filter after every 10 hours of use, sharpen the chain regularly, and inspect the spark plug after every 100 hours of operation. Always check the chain tension and lubricate the bar and chain as needed.

How can I troubleshoot a Stihl MS 193 T that won't start?

Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel is fresh. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Make sure the air filter is clean, and confirm that the chain brake is not engaged. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.

What type of fuel and oil mixture is required for the Stihl MS 193 T?

The Stihl MS 193 T requires a 50:1 ratio of gasoline to 2-cycle engine oil. Always use fresh fuel and mix thoroughly. Use high-quality oil such as Stihl's own brand for optimal performance.

How do I replace the chain on the Stihl MS 193 T?

First, ensure the engine is off and the chain brake is engaged. Remove the sprocket cover by loosening the nuts. Slide the old chain off the guide bar and fit the new chain, making sure the cutting edges face forward. Reattach the sprocket cover and adjust the chain tension before tightening the nuts.

What should I do if the Stihl MS 193 T chain is not cutting properly?

If the chain is not cutting efficiently, it may need sharpening. Use a round file to sharpen each cutter on the chain. Ensure the depth gauges are not too high, which could prevent the cutters from engaging the wood effectively.

How do I adjust the chain tension on the Stihl MS 193 T?

Loosen the nuts on the sprocket cover slightly. Use the tensioning screw to adjust the chain tension. The chain should be snug against the guide bar but still move freely. Tighten the sprocket cover nuts once the correct tension is achieved.

Why is my Stihl MS 193 T producing excessive smoke?

Excessive smoke may indicate an incorrect fuel mixture or a clogged air filter. Ensure you're using the correct 50:1 fuel mixture and check the air filter for dirt or debris. Clean or replace the air filter as needed.

How often should I replace the spark plug on the Stihl MS 193 T?

The spark plug should be inspected and cleaned every 100 hours of operation and replaced annually or if it shows signs of wear or damage. Using a correctly gapped plug ensures optimal engine performance.

Can I use my Stihl MS 193 T in wet conditions?

While the Stihl MS 193 T can be used in damp environments, avoid using it in heavy rain or excessively wet conditions to prevent damage to the engine and electrical components. Always dry and lubricate the chainsaw after use in wet conditions.
