Muffler
The muffler keeps the noise levels to a minimum and
sends the exhaust fumes away from the operator.
Do not use the product if the muffler is missing or
defective. A defective muffler increases the noise level
and the risk of fire.
WARNING: The muffler becomes very hot
during and after use and when the engine
operates at idle speed. Be careful near
flammable materials and/or fumes to prevent
fire.
To do a check of the muffler
• Examine the muffler regularly to make sure that it is
attached correctly and not damaged.
Safety frame
The safety frame prevents damage to the product if it
falls. The handle and the lifting point are parts of the
safety frame.
To do a check of the safety frame
• Make sure that there are no cracks or other
damages on the safety frame.
• Make sure that the safety frame is correctly installed
on the product.
Vibration damping units
The vibration damping units decrease vibration in the
product. The vibration damping units decrease harmful
vibrations to prevent injury to the operator and damage
to the product.
To do a check of the vibration damping units
There are 4 vibration damping units, 2 on the left side
and 2 on the right side of the product.
• Make sure that the vibration damping units are
correctly installed.
• Examine the vibration damping units for damages
and wear.

necessary.
Fuel safety
WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• Fuel is flammable and the fumes are explosive. Be
careful with fuel to prevent injury, fire and explosion.
• Do not breathe in the fuel fumes. The fuel fumes are
poisonous and can cause injury. Make sure that the
airflow is sufficient.
• Do not remove the fuel tank cap or fill the fuel tank
when the engine is on.
• Let the engine become cool before you refuel.
• Do not fill fuel in an indoor area. Not sufficient airflow
can cause injury or death because of asphyxiation or

expand. Keep a space at the top of the fuel tank.
• Tighten the fuel tank cap fully. If the fuel tank cap is
not tightened, there is a risk of fire.
• Before you start the product, move the product to a
minimum of 3 m/10 ft from where you refueled.
