GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

See instructions under the heading Start. Start the machine and apply full throttle. Release the throttle and check that the cutting attachment stops and remains at a standstill. If the cutting attachment rotates with the throttle in the idle position then the carburettor idle setting must be checked. See instructions under the heading Maintenance.

Stop switch

Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.

Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you move the stop switch to the stop setting.

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 minimize vibration and make operation easier.

Use of incorrectly wound cord or an incorrect cutting attachment increases the level of vibration. See instructions under the heading Cutting equipment.

The machines vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machines handle unit.

Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation. 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. These 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.
