SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vibration damping system
• Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation.
• Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged
and securely attached.
Muffler
• 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 then it should be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh
causes the engine to overheat, which can lead to serious
damage. Never use a muffler with a defective spark
arrestor mesh.
Cutting equipment
This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
• Reduce the risk of kickback.
• Obtain maximum cutting performance.
• Extend the life of cutting equipment.
General rules
1 Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
2 Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow
our instructions and use the recommended file gauge. An
incorrectly sharpened or damaged blade increases the
risk of accidents.
3 Maintain the correct blade setting! Follow our instructions
and use the recommended blade setting tool. An
incorrectly set blade increases the risk of jamming and
kickback.
4 Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.
Quick release
Check that the harness straps are correctly positioned. Once
the harness and machine have been adjusted, check that the
harness quick release works correctly.
