6. Muffler
The muffler is designed to
give the lowest possible noise
level and to direct the
engine‘s exhaust fumes away
from the operator. Muffler
fitted with catalytic
converter is also designed to
reduce harmful exhaust
components.

4. Anti-vibration
system
Your machine is equipped
with an anti-vibration
system that has been
designed to give as vibra-
tion-free and comfortable
usage as possible.
The use of incorrectly
wound cord or blunt,
incorrect cutting
equipment (incorrect type
or incorrectly sharpened,
see section “Filing the
blade”) increases the level
of vibration.
The machine’s anti-
vibration system reduces
the transfer of vibrations
between the engine unit/
cutting equipment and the
machine’s handle system.
The engine body including
the cutting equipment is
suspended in the handle
system via a vibration
element.
8. Locking nut
The locking nut secures the
cutting equipment on the
output shaft.

precaution in the event of a
fire in the engine or for any
other situation that requires

WARNING!
Over exposure to vibrations can result in
blood-vessel or nerve injury to persons
suffering with blood circulation problems.
Seek medical attention if you experience
physical symptoms that can be related to
over exposure to vibrations. Examples of
such symptoms are “numbness“, lack of
feeling, “tickling“, “pricking“, “pain“, lack
of or a reduction in normal strength,

appear in the fingers, hands or wrists.

important that the instructions for checking, maintaining and
servicing the muffler are followed. (See the section “Control,
maintenance and service of the machine‘s safety equipment“.)
