3. For safe operation
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 wrists.
The risk increases at low temperatures.
5. 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.
In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a
significant risk of fire. We therefore fit certain mufflers with a
spark arrestor mesh. Check whether the muffler on your
machine is fitted with this kind of mesh.
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.
US-10
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the
machine.
If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark arrestor
mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will
cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious damage.
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!
