GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

English

9

Quick release

There is an easily accessible, quick release fitted at the
front as a safety precaution in case the engine catches
fire, or in any other situation that requires you to free
yourself from the machine and harness. See instructions
under the heading Adjusting the harness and brush
cutter.

Certain harnesses also have a quick release fitted to the
support hook.

Check that the harness straps are correctly positioned.
Once the harness and machine have been adjusted,
check that the harness quick release works correctly.

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 screen. Check whether the muffler on
your machine is fitted with this kind of screen.

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.

If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark
arrestor screen this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked
screen will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to
serious damage.

!

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.
