4. Vibration damping system
The hedge trimmer is
equipped with a vibration
damping system, which is
designed to give as vibra-
tion-free and comfortable
use as possible.
The hedge trimmer’s
vibration damping system
reduces the transfer of
vibrations between the
engine unit/blades and the
hedge trimmer’s handles.
The engine body including
the blades is suspended on
the handlebar system via a
four springs.

5. 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 con-
verter 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“.)
!
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!
!
WARNING!
Bear in mind that exhaust fumes:
• contain carbon monoxide, which can
cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Therefore never start or run the machine
indoors.
• are hot and can contain sparks that can
cause fires. Never start the machine
indoors or close to inflammable material.
