GENERAL SAFETY PRECA
UTIONS
Hand guar
d
The hand guard pre
vents hands from coming into contact with
the moving blades, for example, if the operator loses grip on
the front handle.
Check that the hand guard is fitted correctly.
Check that the hand guard is undamaged.
Vibration damping system
Y
our machine is equipped with a vibration damping system
that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation
easier.
The machine
s vibration damping system reduces the transfer
of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and
the machine
s handle unit.
The engine body including the blades is suspended on the
handlebar system via a four springs.
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation. Check that the vibration damping element is
undamaged and securely attached.
Muffl
er
The m
uffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
A muffler fitted with a catalytic converter is also designed to
reduce harmful exhaust gases.
In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a
significant risk of fire. We therefore fit certain mufflers with a
spark arrestor mesh. Check whether the muffler on your
machine is fitted with this kind of mesh.
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the instructions
on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the
machine.
If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark arrestor
mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will
cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious
damage.

ARNING! Overexposure to vibration can
lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage
in people who have impaired circulation.
Contact your doctor if you experience
symptoms of overexposure to vibration.
Such symptoms include numbness, loss of
feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of
strength, changes in skin colour or
condition. These symptoms normally appear
in the fingers, hands or wrists. The risk
increases at low temperatures.
!
W
ARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic
converters get very hot during use and
remain so for some time after stopping. This
also applies at idle speed. Contact can result
in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of
fire!
