be checked. See instructions under the heading Maintenance.

Stop switch

Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you move the stop switch to the stop setting.

Cutting attachment guard

Vibration damping system

Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation easier.
Use of incorrectly wound cord or an incorrect cutting attachment increases the level of vibration. See instructions under the heading Cutting equipment.
The machines vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machine
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation. Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged and securely attached.
s handle unit.
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.
10 – English
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. The risk increases at low temperatures.

Quick release

There is an easily accessible, quick release fitted at the front as a safety precaution in case the engine catches fire, or in any other situation that requires you to free yourself from the machine and harness. See instructions under the heading Adjusting the harness and brush

!
cutter. Certain harnesses also have a quick release fitted to the support hook.
Check that the harness straps are correctly positioned. Once the harness and machine have been adjusted, check that the harness quick release works correctly.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user. A muffler fitted with a catalytic converter is also designed to reduce harmful exhaust gases.
In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a significant risk of fire. We therefore fit certain mufflers with a spark arrestor mesh. Check whether the muffler on your machine is fitted with this kind of mesh.
If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark arrestor mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious damage.
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters get very hot during use and remain so for some time after stopping. This also applies at idle speed. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of fire!
WARNING! The inside of the muffler contain chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these elements in the event of a damaged muffler.
WARNING! 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!

Locking nut

For mufflers it is very important that you follow the instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine. See instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining and servicing the machine’s safety equipment.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the machine.
A locking nut is used to secure some types of cutting attachment.
When fitting, tighten the nut in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the cutting attachment. To remove it, undo the nut in the same direction as the cutting attachment rotates. (CAUTION! The nut has a left-hand thread.)
When loosening and tightening the saw blade nut, there is a risk of injury from the teeth of the saw blade. You should therefore always ensure that your hand is shielded by the blade guard when doing this. Always use a socket spanner with a shaft that is long enough to allow this. The arrow in the diagram shows the area where you should
English 11
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
!
!
operate the socket spanner when loosening or tightening the nut.
The nylon lining inside the locking nut must not be so worn that you can turn it by hand. The lining should offer a resistance of at least 1.5 Nm. The nut should be replaced after it has been put on approx. 10 times.

Locking screw

The lock screw must be tightened securely for ball­bearing-mounted support cups.
WARNING! Always stop the engine before doing any work on the cutting attachment. This continues to rotate even after the throttle has been released. Ensure that the cutting attachment has stopped completely and disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug before you start to work on it.
WARNING! Using an incorrect cutting attachment or an incorrectly sharpened blade increases the risk of blade thrust.

Cutting equipment

Saw blades are intended for cutting fibrous types of wood.
Grass blades and grass cutters are intended for cutting coarse grass.

Cutting equipment

This section describes how to choose and maintain your cutting equipment in order to:
• Reduce the risk of blade thrust.
• Obtain maximum cutting performance.
• Extend the life of cutting equipment.
IMPORTANT!
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to check the correct way to load the cord and the correct cord diameter.
Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow our recommendations. Also refer to the instructions on the blade packaging.
Maintain the correct blade setting! Follow our instructions and use the recommended file gauge.
12 – English
A trimmer head is intended for trimming grass.
General rules
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow our instructions and use the recommended file gauge. An incorrectly sharpened or damaged blade increases the risk of accidents.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Keep the correct setting on the saw blade! Follow our instructions and use the recommended setting tool. An incorrectly set saw blade increases the risk of jamming and blade thrust, and damage to the saw blade.
Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.

Sharpening grass cutters and grass blades

• See the cutting attachment packaging for correct sharpening instructions. Sharpen blades and cutters using a single-cut flat file.
• Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of the blade.
A correctly sharpened blade is essential for working efficiently and to avoid unnecessary wear to the blade and brush cutter.
• Make sure that the blade is well supported when you file it. Use a 5.5 mm round file with a file holder.
• The filing angle is 15°. File alternate teeth to the right and those in between to the left. If the blade has been heavily pitted by stones it may be necessary to dress the top edges of the teeth with a flat file, in exceptional cases. If so, this should be done before filing with a round file. The top edges must be filed down by the same amount for all the teeth.
WARNING! Always discard a blade that is bent, twisted, cracked, broken or
!
damaged in any other way. Never attempt to straighten a twisted blade so that it can be reused. Only use original blades of the specified type.

Sharpening the saw blade

• See the cutting attachment packaging for correct sharpening instructions.
Adjust the blade setting. This should be 1 mm.
English 13
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Trimmer head

IMPORTANT!
Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will generate harmful vibration.
• Only use the recommended trimmer heads and trimmer cords. These have been tested by the manufacturer to suit a particular engine size. This is especially important when a fully automatic trimmer head is used. Only use the recommended cutting attachment. See the chapter on Technical data.
• Smaller machines generally require small trimmer heads and vice versa. This is because when clearing using a cord the engine must throw out the cord radially from the trimmer head and overcome the resistance of the grass being cleared.
• The length of the cord is also important. A longer cord requires greater engine power than a shorter cord of the same diameter.
• Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is intact. This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.
• To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in water for a couple of days. This will make the line tougher so that it lasts longer.
