SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4. Anti-vibration
system
Your machine is equipped
with an anti-vibration system
that has been designed to
give as vibration-free and
comfortable usage as
possible.
The use of incorrectly
wound cord or blunt,
incorrect cutting equipment
(incorrect type or incorrectly
sharpened, see section "Filing
the blade") increases the level
of vibration.
The machine's vibration
damping system reduces the
transfer of vibrations
between the engine unit/
cutting equipment and the
machine's handle unit.
!
WARNING!
Over exposure to vibrations can result in
blood-vessel or nerve injury to persons
suffering with blood circulation problems.
Seek medical attention if you experience
physical symptoms that can be related to
over exposure to vibrations. Examples of
such symptoms are "numbness", lack of
feeling, "tickling", "pricking", "pain", lack
of or a reduction in normal strength,
changes in the colour of the skin or its
surfaces. These symptoms normally
appear in the fingers, hands or wrists.
5. Quick-release
There is an easily accessible,
quick-release catch fitted to
the chest as a safety
precaution in the event of a
fire in the engine or for any
other situation that requires
you to free yourself from the
machine and harness. See the
section "Adjusting the harness
and clearing saw".
