cracked.
Always use the recommended guard for the cutting
attachment you are using. See chapter on Technical data.
Vibration damping system
Y our machine is equipped with a vibration damping system
that is designed to reduce vibration and make operation
easier.
Using incorrectly wound cord or a blunt or incorrect cutting
attachment (wrong type or incorrectly filed, see instructions
under the heading Filing the blade) increases the level of
vibration.
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.

WARNING! Never use a cutting attachment
without an approved guard. See the chapter
on Technical data. If an incorrect or faulty
guard is fitted this can cause serious
personal injury.

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
