Cutting attac
 
hment guard
 
This guard is intended to pre
 
vent 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.
 
Vibration damping system
 
Y
 
our machine is equipped with a vibration damping 
system that is designed to minimize 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
 
′s handle unit.
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or 
deformation. Check that the vibration damping element is 
undamaged and securely attached.
!
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.
!
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.
