two different saws are being discussed.... ms192 (rear handle, available the world over) ... and 192t (top handle, not available in the uk)... the t is the important bit that is causing the confusion:thumbup1:

elten hydrofells would be some of the best boots ive ever worn... lightweight, good waterproofing/breathability, robust and just plain comfy straight out of the box. found climbing on spikes (kleins) with them very comfortable as well... wore them five days a week for nearly 18 months before retiring them, and only then due to a couple of cracks in the leather letting in water, and the smell of them, going just the wrong side of deadly... replaced them with a cheaper pair, regretted the decision and will be saving my pennies for another pair of hydrofells

ms192= the new rear handle version on the 192t tophandle saw... the rear handle appeared on most markets last year and is currently the only version available in the uk. the rest of the world has had the top handle version for a number of years. it is classed as a semi-pro/homeowner saw, due to the power output/ robustness of build compared to the 200(t)... it was designed as a trim saw, and is not designed for constant bar length cuts (blocking down stems) good lightweight little saw, but not a takedown saw... and not a replacement for a 2-hunge

the most important thing is to get it running as soon as possible, you need to dry out the bearings and crank or they will be rusted in a matter of days! seriously get it running and let it idle for a good 10-15mins. failing that... tear it down and flush the clutch and flywheel bearings with alcohol to displace any water, and then re-lube with mix oil when the alcohol is evaporated... just dont let it sit for a few days, or chances are as soon as you get it running, rusty bearing crap will start swimming around the crank case and mess up your top-end as well good luck
