SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vibration damping system
Check regularly that the vibration damping element is free
from cracks.
The handlebar system's steel tube and the cutting cover are
designed to minimise the vibrations from the engine. Make
sure the cutting cover is not damaged and that there are no
visible defects such as cracks.
Muffler
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the
machine.
Cutting equipment
This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
• Reduces machine vibration.
• Obtain maximum cutting performance.
• Extend the life of 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. Always ensure the cutter is well ground
and balanced correctly. See also instructions under the
heading Maintenance.
Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.
Also check that the cutter bolt is undamaged and that the
engine shaft is not bent.
The washer and cup spring should always be replaced when
changing the cutter or cutter bracket.
