GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
Locking nut
A locking nut is used to secure some types of cutting
attachment.
When fitting, tighten the nut in the opposite direction to the
direction of rotation of the cutting attachment. To remove it,
undo the nut in the same direction as the cutting attachment
rotates. (CAUTION! The nut has a left-hand thread.) When
loosening and tightening the saw blade nut, there is a risk of
injury from the teeth of the saw blade. You should therefore
always ensure that your hand is shielded by the blade guard
when doing this. Always use a socket spanner with a shaft
that is long enough to allow this. The arrow in the diagram
shows the area where you should operate the socket spanner
when loosening or tightening the nut.
The nylon lining inside the locking nut must not be so worn
that you can turn it by hand. The lining should offer a
resistance of at least 1.5 Nm. The nut should be replaced
after it has been put on approx. 10 times.
Locking screw
The lock screw must be tightened securely for ball-bearing-
mounted support cups.
!
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!
