SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3Silencer

!WARNING! During use and for some time after the silencer is very hot. Do not touch the silencer if it is hot!

The silencer is designed to give the lowest possible noise level and to direct the engine‘s exhaust fumes away from the user. The engine‘s exhaust fumes are hot and can contain sparks, which can lead to the outbreak of fire.

In countries that have a warm and dry climate the risk of forest fires is obvious. We have therefore fitted certain silencers with a spark arrest screen. Make sure that your silencer is fitted with this kind of screen.

MPORTANT INFORMATION! It is extremely important that the instructions for checking, maintaining and servicing the silencer are followed. (see the section “Control, maintenance and service of the power cutter’s safety equipment“ ).

4Disc guard for the cutting disc

!WARNING! Always check that the disc guard is correctly fitted before starting the machine.
