This section describes the machine’s safety equipment, its pur-
pose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried out to
ensure that it operates correctly.
The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of ac-
cidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried out
correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out profes-
sionally. If you need further information please contact us at SGS
Engineering.

WARNING:
Never use a cutting attachment
without an approved guard.
Use of incorrectly wound trimmer line or an incorrect cutting at-
tachment increases the level of vibration.
WARNING:
Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory
damage or nerve damage in people who have impaired circula-
tion. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overex-
posure to vibration. Such symptoms include numbness, loss of
feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin
colour or condition.

Cutting attachment guard
This guard is intended to prevent
loose objects from being thrown
towards the operator. The guard also
protects the operator from accidental
contact with the cutting attachment.
Ensure that the guard is undamaged
and is not cracked. Replace the guard
if it has been exposed to impact or is
cracked.
