Cutting Equipment - Husqvarna 124C Operator's Manual

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Muffler
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise
level and to direct the exhaust gases away
from the operator.
CAUTION! Muffler is fitted with a catalytic
convertic designed to reduce harmful ex-
haust 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.
Muffler bolts
For mufflers, it is very important that you
follow the instructions on checking, main-
taining, and servicing your machine.
Never use a machine that has a faulty
muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely
attached to the machine.
WARNING:
Mufflers fitted with
catalytic converters get very hot
during use and remain so for some
time after stopping. This also applies
at idle speed. Contact can result in
burns to the skin. Remember the risk
of fire!

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:
Engine exhaust fumes contain car-
bon monoxide, which can cause
carbon monoxide poisoning. For
this reason you should not start or
run the machine indoors, or any-
where that is poorly ventilated.
The exhaust fumes from the engine
are hot and may contain sparks
which can start a fire. Never start
the machine indoors or near com-
bustible material!

Cutting equipment

This section describes how to choose and
maintain your cutting equipment in order to:
S Obtain maximum cutting performance.

IMPORTANT!
Only use cutting attachments with the guards
we recommend! See the section on
"Technical data".
Refer to the instructions for the cutting attach-
ment to check the correct way to load the
trimmer line and the correct line diameter.
WARNING:
Always stop the en-
gine before doing any work on the
cutting attachment. This continues
to rotate even after the throttle has
been released. Ensure that the
cutting attachment has stopped
completely and disconnect the
lead from the spark plug before
you start to work on it.

tachment may increase the risk of
accidents.
