you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
Cutting attachment guard
Vibration damping system
our machine is equipped with a vibration damping
system that is designed to reduce 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 machine′s vibration damping system reduces the
transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting
equipment and the machine

′
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.
– English
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 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 clearing

!
saw. 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
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.
If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark
arrestor screen this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked
screen will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to
serious damage.
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 screen. Check whether the muffler on
your machine is fitted with this kind of screen.
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the
instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your
machine.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
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! 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!
Locking nut
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
English – 9
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
should 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.
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.
Cutting equipment
Saw blades are intended for cutting fibrous types of wood.
Grass blades and grass cutters are intended for cutting
coarse grass.
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.
!
!
10 – English
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.
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.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
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.
A correctly sharpened blade is essential for working
efficiently and to avoid unnecessary wear to the blade and
clearing saw.
• 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.
Sharpening the saw blade
• See the cutting attachment packaging for correct
sharpening instructions.
Adjust the blade setting. This should be 1 mm.

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.
