SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3Muffler

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

The muffler 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.

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

!WARNING! The inside of muffler contain chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these elements in the event of a damaged muffler.

Control, maintenance and service of the machine‘s safety equipment

!WARNING! All service and repairs to the power cutter require special training. This applies especially to the power cutter’s safety equipment. If the power cutter does not meet any of the controls listed below you should contact your service workshop.

The purchase of one of our products guarantees that professional repair and servicing will be carried out on it. If the point of purchase is not one of our servicing dealers, please ask for details of the closest service workshop.

1 Anti-vibration system

Check the anti-vibration elements regularly for material cracks and deformation.

4 Throttle lock

The throttle lock is designed to prevent accidental opera- tion of the throttle control.

When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle trigger (B). When you release the handle the throttle trigger and the throttle lock both move back to their original positions. This movement is controlled by two independent return springs. This arrange- ment means that the throttle control is automatically locked at the idle setting when you release the handle.

Check that the anti-vibration elements are securely mounted between the engine unit and the handle system.

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

The blade guard is mounted above the cutting blade and prevents cutting fragments from being thrown towards the user.
