attachment.

cracked.

Vibration damping system

Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping
system that is designed to minimize vibration and make
operation easier.
B40P
Using incorrectly wound cord or a blunt or incorrect
cutting attachment (wrong type or incorrectly filed, see
instructions under the heading Filing the blade) increases
the level of vibration.
The machine ' s vibration damping system reduces the
transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting
equipment and the machine 's handle unit.
Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged
and securely attached. Contact your McCULLOCH dealer
to replace the vibration damping system. Visit
www.mcculloch.biz.
WARNING! Never use a cutting
attachment without an approved guard.
See the chapter on Technical data. If an
incorrect or faulty guard is fitted this can
cause serious personal injury.
