GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

English – 9

Never use a machine that has a faulty mufﬂer.

Regularly check that the mufﬂer is securely attached to

the machine.

Blades

To ensure good cutting results it is important that the

contact pressure between the blades is correct. The

contact pressure is adjusted by turning the screws on the

underside of the bar clockwise as far as they will go. Then

turn the screws anticlockwise a 1/4 turn. Lock the screws

using the locking nut on the top of the bar. Check that the

screws are loose enough to allow the washers under the

screw heads to slide sideways.

When the blades are correctly adjusted the play between

the blades should be 0,2–0,4 mm, measured at the

screws.

The edges of the blades are too hard to be ﬁled. Dull

blades should be sharpened using a grinder.

Check that the blades are undamaged and show no signs

of cracking or other damage.

Blade guard

The blade guard (A) is intended to protect against any

part of the body coming into contact with the blades (B).

Check that the blade guard is not damaged or distorted.

Replace the blade guard if it is bent or damaged.

Gear

The gear housing gets hot when the machine has been in

use. To avoid burning yourself do not touch the gear

housing.

WARNING! Mufﬂers ﬁtted with catalytic

converters and exhaust pipes get very

hot during use and remain so for some

time after stopping. This also applies

when idling. 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!
