SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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! The muffler gets very hot in use and remains so for a short time afterwards. Do not touch the muffler if it is hot!
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the machine.
Cutting equipment
Make sure the cutter does not hit foreign objects such as stones, roots or the like. This can make the cutter dull and bend the engine shaft.
Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced. Always ensure the cutter is well ground and balanced correctly.
Also check that the cutter bolt is undamaged and that the engine shaft is not bent.
