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! 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!
Blade and blade guard
The outer part of the blades (1) are shaped as blade
guards. The blade guard is intended to protect against
any part of the body coming into contact with the blades.
Check that the blade guard is not damaged or distorted.
Replace the cutting unit if it is bent or damaged.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The gear housing gets hot when the machine has been in
use. To avoid burning yourself do not touch the gear
housing.
