Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
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 mesh. Check whether the muffler on your
machine is fitted with this kind of mesh.
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.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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! The inside of the muffler
!
contain chemicals that may be
carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these
elements in the event of a damaged
muffler.
WARNING! Bear in mind that:
!
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!
Locking nut
A locking 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.)
