screen will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to
serious damage.
NOTE!
Make sure that the spark arrestor is screwed in place
correctly.
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!
Cutting equipment
This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
•
Obtain maximum cutting performance.
•
Extend the life of cutting equipment.
IMPORTANT!
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to
check the correct way to load the cord and the correct
cord diameter.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Always stop the engine
!
before doing any work on the cutting
attachment. This continues to rotate even
after the throttle has been released.
Ensure that the cutting attachment has
stopped completely and disconnect the
spark plug cap before you start to work
on it.
WARNING! A faulty cutting attachment
!
may increase the risk of accidents.
Trimmer head
IMPORTANT!
Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and
evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will
generate harmful vibration.
•
Only use the recommended trimmer heads and
trimmer cords. These have been tested by the
manufacturer to suit a particular engine size. This is
especially important when a fully automatic trimmer
head is used. Only use the recommended cutting
attachment. See the chapter on Technical data.
•
Smaller machines generally require small trimmer
heads and vice versa. This is because when clearing
using a cord the engine must throw out the cord
radially from the trimmer head and overcome the
resistance of the grass being cleared.
•
The length of the cord is also important. A longer cord
requires greater engine power than a shorter cord of
the same diameter.
•
Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is
intact. This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.
•
To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in
water for a couple of days before use. This will make
the cord tougher so that it lasts longer.
