SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

4.Vibration damping system

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 damp- ing system reduces the trans- fer of vibrations between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machine’s handle unit.

!WARNING!

Over exposure to vibrations can result in blood-vessel or nerve injury to persons suf- fering 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.

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”).

!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!

!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!

6. Cutting equipment

The blade is designed and processed to withstand loads that edging of a lawn involves.

7. Locking nut

The locking nut secures the cutting equipment on the output shaft.
