SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6. Muffler
The muffler is designed to
give the lowest possible noise
level and to direct the
engine‘s exhaust fumes away
from the operator. Muffler
fitted with catalytic
converter is also designed to
reduce harmful exhaust
components.
In countries that have a
warm and dry climate the
risk of fire is obvious. We
have therefore fitted certain
mufflers with a spark arrest
screen. Make sure that your
muffler is fitted with this
kind of screen.
It is extremely important
that the instructions for
checking, maintaining and
servicing the muffler are
followed. (See the section
“Control, maintenance and
service of the machine‘s safety
equipment“.)
7. Cutting
equipment
1) Clearing blades are
intended for cutting wood.
2) Grass blades are
intended for brush cutting.
3) The trimmer head is
intended for trimming
grass.

8. Locking nut
A locking nut is used to
secure some types of cutting
equipment on the output
shaft.
WARNING!
Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters
become extremely hot during use and
after stopping. This also applies at idling
speeds. Contact can result in burns to
the skin. Be observant to the risk of fire!

• contain carbon monoxide, which can
cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Therefore never start or run the machine
indoors.

cause fires. Never start the machine
indoors or close to inflammable material.
