2. Stop switch

used to stop the engine.
3. Cutting
attachment guard
This guard is intended to
prevent objects from being
thrown towards the operator
and to protect the operator
from unintentionel contact
with the cutting attachment.
4. Anti-vibration
system
Your machine is equipped
with an anti-vibration system
that has been designed to
give as vibration-free and
comfortable usage as
possible.
The use of incorrectly
wound cord or blunt,
incorrect cutting equipment
(incorrect type or incorrectly
sharpened, see section “Filing
the blade”) increases the level
of vibration.
The machine’s vibration
damping system reduces the
transfer of vibrations
between the engine unit/
cutting equipment and the
machine’s handle unit.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Do not attach any blade to the unit
without proper installation of all required
parts. Failure to use the proper parts can
cause the blade to fly off and seriously
injure the operator and/or bystanders.
Under no circumstances may the cutting
equipment be used without an approved
guard fitted. See the chapter
“Technical
data”. If the wrong guard or a defective
guard is fitted this can cause serious
personal injury.
WARNING!
Over exposure to vibrations can result in
blood-vessel or nerve injury to persons
suffering with blood circulation problems.
Seek medical attention if you experience
physical symptoms that can be related to
over exposure to vibrations. Examples of
such symptoms are “numbness“, lack of
feeling, “tickling“, “pricking“, “pain“, lack
of or a reduction in normal strength,
changes in the colour of the skin or its
surfaces. These symptoms normally
appear in the fingers, hands or wrists.
