GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

8 – English

Stop switch

Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.

Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when

you move the stop switch to the stop setting. The stop

switch automatically returns to the start position. In order

to prevent unintentional starting, the spark plug cap must

be removed from the spark plug when assembling,

checking and/or performing maintenance.

Hand guard

The hand guard prevents hands from coming into contact

with the moving blades, for example, if the operator loses

grip on the front handle.

Check that the hand guard is ﬁtted correctly.

Check that the hand guard is undamaged.

Vibration damping system

Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping

system that is designed to reduce vibration and make

operation easier.

The machine′s vibration damping system reduces the

transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting

equipment and the machine

′s handle unit.

The engine body, including the blades, is suspended on

the handlebar using four rubber bushings.

Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or

deformation. Check that the vibration damping element is

undamaged and securely attached.

Mufﬂer

The mufﬂer 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 screen. Check whether the mufﬂer on

your machine is ﬁtted with this kind of screen.

For mufﬂers it is very important that you follow the

instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your

machine.

Never use a machine that has a faulty mufﬂer.

Regularly check that the mufﬂer is securely attached to

the machine.

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. Such 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. The risk

increases at low temperatures.
