Replace the blade guard if it is exposed to impact or is

Muffler
WARNING! Never use a machine without a

The muffler gets very hot during and after
use. This also applies during idling. Be

working near flammable substances and/or
vapours.
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and
to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
Inspecting the muffler
Check regularly that the muffler is complete and secured
correctly.
