To do a check of the cutting attachment guard
The cutting attachment guard stops objects that ejects in

2. Do a visual check for damages, for example cracks.
(Fig. 29)
3. Replace the cutting attachment guard if it is
damaged.
To do a check of the vibration damping system
The vibration damping system decreases vibration in the
handles to a minimum which makes the operation
easier.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Do a visual check for deformation and damage, for
example cracks.
3. Make sure that the elements of the vibration
damping system are attached correctly. (Fig. 30)
