Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a
minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the
user. A muffler fitted with a catalytic converter is
also designed to reduce harmful exhaust gases.
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the
instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing
your machine.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached
to the machine.
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with
catalytic converters get very hot
during use and remain so for
some time after stopping.
This also applies at idle speed.
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!
Blade and blade guard
The outer part of the blades (1) are shaped as blade
guards. The blade guard is intended to protect
against any part of the body coming into contact
with the blades.
Check that the blade guard is not damaged or
distorted. Replace the cutting unit 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.
