Seek medical attention if you experience physical symptoms that can be related to over exposure to vibrations. Examples of such symptoms are “numbness“, lack of feeling, “tickling“, “pricking“, “pain“, lack of or a reduction in normal strength, changes in the colour of the skin or its surfaces. These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists. 5. Quick-release There is an easily accessible, quick-release catch fitted to the chest as a safety precaution in the event of a fire in the engine or for any other situation that requires you to free yourself from the machine and harness. See the section “Adjusting the harness and clearing saw“. English – 5 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 6. Muffler The muffler is designed to give the lowest possible noise level and to direct the engine‘s exhaust fumes away from the operator. Muffler fitted with catalytic converter is also designed to reduce harmful exhaust components. In countries that have a warm and dry climate the risk of fire is obvious. We have therefore fitted certain mufflers with a spark arrest screen. Make sure that your muffler is fitted with this kind of screen. It is extremely important that the instructions for checking, maintaining and servicing the muffler are followed. (See the section “Control, maintenance and service of the machine‘s safety equipment“.) ! ! WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters become extremely hot during use and after stopping.This also applies at idling speeds. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Be observant to the risk of fire! ! ! WARNING! Bear in mind that exhaust fumes: • contain carbon monoxide, which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Therefore never start or run the machine indoors. • are hot and can contain sparks that can cause fires. Never start the machine indoors or close to inflammable material. 7. Cutting equipment 1 1) Clearing blades are intended for cutting wood. 2 2) Grass blades are intended for brush cutting. 3) The trimmer head is 3 intended for trimming grass. 8. Locking nut A locking nut is used to secure some types of cutting equipment on the output shaft. 6 – English SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Control, maintenance and service of the machine‘s safety equipment IMPORTANT INFORMATION • All service and repairs to the machine require special training. • This applies especially to the machine‘s safety equipment. If the machine does not meet any of the controls listed below you should contact your service workshop. • The purchase of one of our products guarantees that professional repair and servicing will be carried out on it. If the point of purchase is not one of our servicing dealers, please ask for details of the closest service workshop. 1. Throttle trigger lock • Check that the throttle is locked in the “idling position“ when the throttle trigger lock is in its original position. • Press in the throttle trigger lock and make sure it returns to its original position when released. • Ensure that the throttle and throttle trigger lock move easily and that their return spring systems function. The throttle trigger lock is designed to prevent the throttle from accidentally being engaged. When the trigger lock (A) is pressed into the handle (= when you hold the handle) the throttle (B) is released. When the grip on the handle is released the throttle and the throttle trigger lock return to their original positions. This takes place via two independent return spring systems. This means that the throttle is automatically locked in its “idling“ position. A B • See section "Start". Start the machine and apply full throttle. Release the throttle and check that the cutting equipment stops and remains at a standstill. If the cutting equipment rotates with the throttle in the idling position then the carburettor‘s idling setting must be checked. See chapter “Maintenance“. 2. Stop switch • Start the engine and make sure that the engine stops when the stop switch is moved to the stop position. English – 7 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 3. Cutting attachment guard • 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 prescribed blade an guard combination, see chapter "Technical data". 4. Vibration damping system • Check the vibration damping element regularly for material cracks and distortion. • Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged and securely attached. 5. Muffler 1.Never use a machine that has a defective muffler. 2.Check regularly that the muffler is secure. 3.If your muffler is fitted with a spark arrest screen then it should be cleaned regularly. A blocked screen leads to the engine overheating with serious damage as a result. Never use a muffler with a defective spark arrest screen. 8 – English SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 6.
