fall off during use. There is also a greater risk of vibration
injury if screws are not tight.

there is no petrol mixture on them. Moist or greasy
surfaces may cause slipping control elements and could
result you losing control of the machine.

spool. Touching small objects such as stones with the
spool may result in accident or injury if they are catapulted
