SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the
machine.
Cutting equipment
Make sure the cutter does not hit foreign objects such as
stones, roots or the like. This can make the cutter dull and
bend the engine shaft.
Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.
Always ensure the cutter is well ground and balanced
correctly.
Also check that the cutter bolt is undamaged and that the
engine shaft is not bent.
!
WARNING! 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.
!
WARNING! 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! The muffler gets very hot in use
and remains so for a short time afterwards.
Do not touch the muffler if it is hot!
