GENERAL SAFETY PRECA UTIONS
Ne ver use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.
If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark
arrestor mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked
mesh will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to
serious damage.
NOTE!
Make sure that the spark arrestor is screwed in place
correctly.
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic
!
converters and exhaust pipes get very
hot during use and remain so for some
time after stopping. This also applies
when idling. Contact can result in burns
to the skin. Remember the risk of fire!
WARNING! The inside of the muffler
!
contain chemicals that may be
carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these
elements in the event of a damaged
muffler.
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!
Loc king nut
A loc king nut is used to secure some types of cutting
attachment.
When fitting, tighten the nut in the opposite direction to the
direction of rotation of the cutting attachment. To remove
it, undo the nut in the same direction as the cutting
attachment rotates. (CAUTION! The nut has a left-hand
thread.)
When loosening and tightening the saw blade nut, there
is a risk of injury from the teeth of the saw blade. You
should therefore always ensure that your hand is shielded
by the blade guard when doing this. Always use a socket
spanner with a shaft that is long enough to allow this. The
arrow in the diagram shows the area where you should
operate the socket spanner when loosening or tightening
the nut.
The nylon lining inside the locking nut must not be so worn
that you can turn it by hand. The lining should offer a
resistance of at least 1.5 Nm. The nut should be replaced
after it has been put on approx. 10 times.
