SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! The muffler gets very hot during
use and remains so for a short time
afterwards. Do not touch a hot muffler!
The muffler is designed to
give the lowest possible noise
level and to direct the engine‘s
exhaust fumes away from the
user. The engine‘s exhaust
fumes are hot and can contain
sparks, which can lead to the
outbreak of fire.
Never use a power cutter that
has a faulty muffler.
Check regularly that the
muffler is secured to the
engine body.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION! It is extremely important
that the instructions for checking, maintaining and
servicing the muffler are followed. (see the section on
Inspecting, maintaining and servicing power cutter’s
equipment).

guard is correctly fitted before starting the

being thrown towards the
user.
