GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

In countries that have a warm and dry
climate there is a significant risk offire.
We therefore fit certain mufflers with a spark
arrestor mesh. Check whether the muffler
on your machineis fitted with this kind of
mesh.

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.

Stop switch

Make sure theengine stops when you push
and hold the stop switch.

Cutting a ttachment guard

This guard is intended to prevent loose
objects from beingthrown towards the
operator. Theguard also protects the
operator from accidental contact with the
cutting attachment.

Check thatthe guardis undamagedand 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 the
“Technical data” section.

Use of incorrectly wound trimmerline or an
incorrect cutting attachment increases the
level of vibration.

WARNING: Never use a cutting

attachment without an approv ed
guard. See the section on “T echni cal
data”. If an incorrect or faulty guard
is fitted this can cause serious
personal injury.

WARNING: Overexposure to

vibration can lead to circulatory
damage or nerve dam age in people
whohaveimpairedcirculation.
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.

Muffler

The muffler is designedto reduce thenoise
level and to direct the exhaust gases away
from the operator.

CAUTION! Muffleris fitted witha catalytic
convertic designed to reduce harmful ex­haust gases.

Muffler bolts

Spark arrestor mesh

Harness quick release

There is an easily accessible, harness
quick release fitted at the front in case of an
emergency that requires you to freeyour­self from the machine and harness.
See instructions under the heading Adjust­ing the harness.

Check thatthe harness straps are correctly
positioned. Once the harness and machine
have been adjusted, check that the harness
quick release works correctly.
