SAFETY INSTR
UCTIONS
Vibration damping system
Y
our machine is equipped with a vibration damping system
that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation
easier.
Use of incorrectly wound cord or an incorrect cutting
attachment increases the level of vibration.
The machine
′
s vibration damping system reduces the transfer
of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and
the machine
′
s handle unit.
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. See
instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining and
servicing the machine’s safety equipment.
Cutting equipment
Gr
ass blades and grass cutters are intended for cutting
coarse grass.
A trimmer head is intended for trimming grass.
Loc
king nut
A loc
king nut is used to secure some types of cutting
attachment.

W
ARNING! Never use a cutting attachment
without an approved guard. See the chapter
on Technical data. If an incorrect or faulty
guard is fitted this can cause serious
personal injury.
!
W
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.
These 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.
!
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!
!
W
ARNING! The inside of the muffler contain
chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid
contact with these elements in the event of a
damaged muffler.
!
W
ARNING! Bear in mind that:
Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, which can cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. For this reason you
should not start or run the machine indoors,
or anywhere that is poorly ventilated.
The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot
and may contain sparks which can start a
fire. Never start the machine indoors or near
combustible material!
