the machine's handle unit.
The engine body, including the cutting equipment, is insulated
from the handles by vibration damping units.
Check the vibration damping system
• Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation.

attached to the engine unit and handle unit.

Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Check the stop switch
• Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
