5. Muffler
The muffler is designed to give
the lowest possible noise level
and to direct the engine’s
exhaust fumes away from the
operator. Mufflers equipped
with a catalytic converter are
also designed to reduce the
hazardous substances in the
exhaust fumes.
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”

).
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4. Vibration dampingsystem
Your machine is equipped with
a vibration damping system,
which is designed to give as
vibration-free and comfortable
use as possible.
The use of incorrect cutting
equipment increases the level
of vibration.
The machine’s vibration
damping system reduces the
transfer of vibrations between
the engine unit/cutting equip-
ment and the machine’s
handle unit.
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.
!
WARNING!
The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot
and may contain sparks which can start a fire.
Never start the machine indoors or near
combustible material!

6. Cutting equipment
The blade is designed and
processed to withstand loads
that edging of a lawn involves.
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!
7. Locking nut
The locking nut secures
the cutting equipment on
the output shaft.
