Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum 
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user. A muffler 
fitted with a catalytic converter is also designed to reduce 
harmful exhaust gases.
In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a 
significant risk of fire. We therefore fit certain mufflers with 
a spark arrestor screen. Check whether the muffler on 
your machine is fitted with this kind of screen.
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.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to 
the machine.
If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark 
arrestor screen this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked 
screen will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to 
serious damage.
Cutting equipment
The cutter is designed and manufactured to withstand the 
loads that edging of a lawn involves.
Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A 
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.
A non-balanced blade induces heavy vibrations that may 
damage the machine.
!
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!
!
WARNING! Always stop the engine 
before you work on any part of the 
cutting equipment. This continues to 
move even after the throttle is released. 
Check that the cutting equipment has 
stopped completely and remove the HT 
lead from the spark plug before you start 
any work on it.
