Use of incorrectly wound
cord or incorrect cutting
equipment increases the level
of vibration.
The machine’s vibration
damping system reduces the
transfer of vibrations between
the engine unit/cutting
equipment and the machine’s
handle unit.

prevent objects from being
thrown towards the operator

guard is fitted this can cause serious
personal injury.
