To do a check of the cutting attachment guard
The cutting attachment guard prevents injuries from
objects that eject in the direction of the operator. It also
prevents injuries that occur if you touch the cutting
attachment. To see where the cutting attachment guard
is on your product, refer to
1. Do a visual check for damages, for example cracks.
2. Replace the cutting attachment guard if it is
damaged.
To do a check of the vibration damping system
WARNING: Use of incorrectly wound cord or
an incorrect cutting attachment increases
the level of vibration.
The vibration damping system decreases vibration
between the engine unit and the shaft unit, which makes
the operation easier. Refer to
2 to see where the vibration damping units are on your
product.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Do a visual check for deformation and damage, for
example cracks.
3. Make sure that the vibration damping units are
attached correctly.
To do a check of the muffler
WARNING: Do not use a product with a
defective muffler.
WARNING: The muffler becomes very hot

speed. Use protective gloves to prevent
burn injuries.
