SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cutting attachment guard
This guard is intended to prevent loose ob-
jects from being thrown towards the opera-
tor. The guard also protects the operator
from accidental contact with the cutting at-
tachment.
Use of incorrectly wound trimmer line or an
incorrect cutting attachment increases the
level of vibration.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise
level and to direct the exhaust gases away
from the operator.
CAUTION! Muffler is fitted with a catalytic
converter designed to reduce exhaust gas
emissions.
For mufflers, it is very important that you fol-
low the instructions on checking, maintain-
ing, and servicing your machine.
See Checking, maintaining and servicing the
machine’s safety equipment section.
WARNING: Neve r use a cutting
attachment without an approved
guard. See the section on “T ec hnical
data”. If an incorrect or faulty guard
is fitted this can cause serious
personal injury.
W ARNING: Overexposu re to
vibration can lead to circulatory
damage or nerve damage in people
who have impaired circulation.
Contact your doctor if you experi-
ence symptoms of overexposure to
vibration. Such symptoms include
numbness, loss of feeling, tingling,
pricking, pain, loss of strength,
changes in skin color or condition.
These symptoms normally appear
in the fingers, hands or wrists. The
risk increases at low temperatures.
Cutting equipment
