4.2 Engine switch
Press down the "O" side of the engine switch
to stop the engine. Start the engine and make
sure the engine stops when you move the
engine switch to the stop setting.
4.3 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.
4.4 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
34
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.
4.5 Quick release
There is an easily accessible, quick release
fitted near the suspension ring as a safety
precaution in case the engine catches fire, or
in any other situation that requires you
to free yourself from the machine.
4.6 Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to
a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away
from the user.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely
attached to the machine.
WARNING! The inside of the muffler
contain chemicals that may be
carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these
elements in the event of a damaged muffler.
Bear in mind that: 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!
