THE POWER CUTTER’S SAFETY
EQUIPMENT

This section explains the various safety features of the power
cutter, how they work, and basic inspection and maintenance
that you should carry out to ensure safe operation. (See the
What is what section to find out where these components are
on your power cutter).

1 Anti-vibration system

Your power cutter is
equipped with a vibration
damping system. This is
designed to give as low
vibration levels and
comfortable usage as
possible.

The vibration damping
system reduces the
vibrations transmitted from
the engine and blade to the
handles of the power cutter.
The engine body including
the cutting equipment is
suspended in a handle
system via anti-vibration
elements.

Inspection

Check the anti-vibration
elements regularly for
material cracks and deforma-
tion.

Check that the anti-vibration
elements are securely
mounted between the engine
unit and the handle system.
