Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when 
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping 
system that is designed to minimize vibration and make 
operation easier.
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.
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 mesh. Check whether the muffler on your 
machine is fitted with this kind of mesh.
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 mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked 
mesh will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to 
serious damage.
!
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.
!
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!
