GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Cutting attachment guard
This guard is intended to prevent loose objects from being
thrown towards the operator. The guard also protects the
operator from accidental contact with the cutting attachment.
Check that the guard is undamaged and not cracked. Replace
the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is cracked.
Always use the recommended guard for the cutting
attachment you are using. See chapter on Technical data.
WARNING! Never use a cutting attachment
!
without an approved guard. See the chapter
on Technical data. If an incorrect or faulty
guard is fitted this can cause serious
personal injury.
Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system
that is designed to reduce vibration and make operation
easier.
Using incorrectly wound cord or a blunt or incorrect cutting
attachment (wrong type or incorrectly filed, see instructions
under the heading Filing the blade) increases the level of
vibration.
The machine's vibration damping system reduces the transfer
of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and
the machine's handle unit.
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation.

English
Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged and
securely attached.
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can
!
lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage
in people who have impaired circulation.
Contact your doctor if you experience
symptoms of overexposure to vibration.
Such symptoms include numbness, loss of
feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of
strength, changes in skin colour or
condition. These symptoms normally appear
in the fingers, hands or wrists. The risk
increases at low temperatures.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user. A muffler
fitted with a catalytic converter is also designed to reduce
harmful exhaust gases.
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.
