SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation easier.
The handlebar system's steel tube and the cutting cover are designed to minimise the vibrations from the engine.
This model also has a vibration damper fitted on the handlebar unit to further reduce vibrations.
The machine′s vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machine′s handle unit.
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can
!lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage in people who have impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration. These symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
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!
In areas with a hot, dry climate there is a high risk of fires. These areas are sometimes controlled by legislation and requirements that among other things the muffler must be equipped with an approved type of spark arrestor mesh.
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine.
WARNING! The muffler gets very hot in use
!and remains so for a short time afterwards. Do not touch the muffler if it is hot!
