SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

4.Anti-vibration system

Your machine is equipped with an anti-vibration system that has been designed to give as vibra- tion-free and comfortable usage as possible.

The use of incorrectly wound cord or blunt, incorrect cutting equipment (incorrect type or incorrectly sharpened, see section “Filing the blade”) increases the level of vibration.

The machine’s anti- vibration system reduces the transfer of vibrations between the engine unit/ cutting equipment and the machine’s handle system. The engine body including the cutting equipment is suspended in the handle system via a vibration element.

!WARNING!

Over exposure to vibrations can result in blood-vessel or nerve injury to persons suffering with blood circulation problems. Seek medical attention if you experience physical symptoms that can be related to over exposure to vibrations. Examples of such symptoms are “numbness“, lack of feeling, “tickling“, “pricking“, “pain“, lack of or a reduction in normal strength, changes in the colour of the skin or its surfaces. These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists.

6. Muffler

The muffler is designed to

give the lowest possible noise level and to direct the

engine‘s exhaust fumes away from the operator. Muffler

fitted with catalytic

converter is also designed to reduce harmful exhaust

components. In countries that have a

warm and dry climate the risk of fire is obvious. We

have therefore fitted certain mufflers with a spark arrest

screen. Make sure that your

muffler is fitted with this kind of screen. 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!

Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters become extremely hot during use and after stopping. This also applies at idling speeds. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Be observant to the risk of fire!

! WARNING!

Bear in mind that exhaust fumes:

• contain carbon monoxide, which can

cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Therefore never start or run the machine indoors.

• are hot and can contain sparks that can cause fires. Never start the machine indoors or close to inflammable material.
