BLADE PROTECTOR (Fig. 10)

Always place the blade protector on the blade when the 
unit is not in use. The blade protector has clips round the 
edges to snap over the blade and keep it in place. Wear 
gloves and be cautious when handling the blade.

NOTE: 

Always remove the blade protector before 

using the unit. If not removed, the blade protector could 
become a thrown object as the blade begins to turn.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND 
SILENCER

Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount 
of lubricant used, and/or your operating conditions, the 
exhaust port and silencer may become blocked with 
carbon deposits. If you notice a power loss with your 
petrol powered tool, a qualified service technician will 
need to remove these deposits to restore performance.

SPARK ARRESTOR

It is recommended to clean or replace the spark arrestor 
every 25 hours to ensure proper performance of your 
product. Spark arrestors may be in different locations 
depending on the model purchased. Please contact 
your nearest service dealer for the location of the spark 
arrestor for your model.

The secondary hole in the attachment shaft can 

be used for hanging purposes as well.
