SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cutting attachment guard
• Ensure that the guard is undamaged and is 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.
Vibration damping system
• Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation.
• Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged
and securely attached.
Muffler
• Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
• Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.
• If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark
arrestor mesh then it should be cleaned regularly. A
blocked mesh causes the engine to overheat, which can
lead to serious damage. Never use a muffler with a
defective spark arrestor mesh.
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.
General rules
1 Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
2 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.
3 Maintain the correct blade setting! Follow our instructions
and use the recommended blade setting tool. An
incorrectly set blade increases the risk of jamming and
kickback.
4 Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.
