GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Stop switch
Make sure the engine stops when you push
and hold the stop switch.
Cutting attachment guard
This guard is intended to prevent loose
objects from being thrown towards the
operator. The guard also protects the
operator from accidental contact with the
cutting attachment.
Check that the guard is undamaged and not
cracked. Replace the guard if it has been
exposed to impact or is cracked.
Always use the recommended guard for the
cutting attachment you are using. See the
"Technical data" section.
I_l ARNING:
Never use a cutting
attachment without an approved
guard. See the section on "Technical
data". If an incorrect or faulty guard
is fitted this can cause serious
persona injury.
Use of incorrectly wound trimmer line or an
incorrect cutting attachment increases the
level of vibration.
_ WARNING:
Overexposure to
vibration can lead to circulatory
damage or nerve damage in people
who have impaired circulation.
Contact your doctor if you experi-
ence symptoms of overexposure to
vibration. Such symptoms include
numbness, loss of feeling, tingling,
pricking, pain, loss of strength,
changes in skin color or condition.
These symptoms normally appear
in the fingers, hands or wrists. The
risk increases at low temperatures.
Harness quick release
There is an easily accessible, harness
quick release fitted at the front in case of an
emergency that requires you to free your-
self from the machine and harness.
See instructions under the heading Adjust-
ing the harness.
Check that the harness straps are correctly
positioned. Once the harness and machine
have been adjusted, check that the harness
quick release works correctIy.
Muffler
The muffier is designed to reduce the noise
level and to direct the exhaust gases away
from the operator.
CAUTION? Muffler is fitted with a catalytic
converter designed to reduce harmful ex-
haust gases.
The muffler on this unit is equipped with a
special spark arrestor mesh. The mesh
should be checked and. if necessary.
cleaned by a servicing dealer. A blocked
mesh will cause the machine to overheat,
which can lead to serious damage. Never
use a muffler with a defective spark arrestor
mesh. See the Maintenance section.
