Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system
that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation
easier.
The machine's vibration damping system reduces the transfer
of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and
the machine's handle unit.
The engine body, including the cutting equipment, is insulated
from the handles by vibration damping units.
Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Muffler
WARNING! The muffler gets very hot in use
!
and remains so for a short time afterwards.
Do not touch the muffler if it is hot!
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!
