Cutting Equipment - Husqvarna LB448S Operator's Manual

Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping
system that is designed to minimize vibration and make
operation easier.
The handlebar system's steel tube and the cutting cover
are designed to minimise the vibrations from the engine.
The machine's vibration damping system reduces the
transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting
equipment and the machine's handle unit.
LB448S, LB553S e This model also has 4 vibration
dampers fitted on the handlebar unit to further reduce
vibrations.
Check that the handles and vibration damping elements
are not damaged.
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration
!

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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
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!
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.
