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 chapter on Technical data.
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.
VIBRATION DAMPING
SYSTEM
Your machine is equipped with a
vibration damping system that is
designed to minimize vibration and
make operation easier.
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.
Regularly check the vibration
damping units for cracks or
deformation.
Check that the vibration damping
element is undamaged and securely
attached.
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. 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.
