MACHINE´S SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Vibration damping system
• Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping
system that is designed to reduce vibration and make
operation easier.
• The machine′s vibration damping system reduces the
transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting
equipment and the machine′s handle unit. The engine
body, including the cutting equipment, is insulated from
the handles by vibration damping units.
Checking the vibration damping system
• Check the vibration damping units regularly for cracks or
deformation. Replace them if damaged.
• Check that the vibration damping element is securely
attached between the engine unit and handle unit.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
Inspecting the muffler
Check regularly that the muffler is complete and secured
correctly.
!
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 colour or
condition. These symptoms normally appear
in the fingers, hands or wrists. These
symptoms may be increased in cold
temperatures.
!
WARNING! The engine should be switched
off, and the stop switch in STOP position.
!
WARNING! Never use a machine without a
muffler, or with a faulty muffler. A damaged
muffler may substantially increase the noise
level and the fire hazard. Keep fire fighting
equipment handy.
The muffler gets very hot during and after
use. This also applies during idling. Be
aware of the fire hazard, especially when
working near flammable substances and/or
vapours.
