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 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.

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. 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!

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 machined for coping with the wear that cutting the edges of lawns involves.

7. Locking nut

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