To do a check of the muffler
WARNING: Do not use a product with a
defective muffler.
WARNING: The mufflers become very hot
during and after operation, also at idle
speed. Use protective gloves to prevent
burn injuries.
The muffler keeps noise levels to a minimum and sends
exhaust fumes away from the operator.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Do a visual check for damage and deformation.
Note: The inner surfaces of the muffler contain
chemicals that can cause cancer. Be careful not to
touch these elements if the muffler is damaged.
3. Make sure that the muffler is correctly attached to
the product.
4. If the muffler on your product has a spark arrester
screen, do a visual check.
a) Replace the spark arrester screen if it is
damaged.
b) Clean the spark arrester screen if it is blocked.
See
To clean the muffler on page 24
for more
information.
To do a check of the locknut
WARNING: Stop the engine, use protective
gloves and be careful around the sharp
edges of the cutting attachment.
• Make sure that the locknut is attached and tightened
correctly. Refer to
To attach and remove the locknut
on page 27
.
Cutting attachment
WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• Do the regular maintenance. Let an approved
service center regularly examine the cutting
attachment to do adjustments or repairs.
• The performance of the cutting attachment
increases.
• The life of the cutting attachment increases.
• The risk of accidents decreases.
• Only use an approved cutting attachment guard.
Refer to
Accessories on page 32
.
• Do not use a damaged cutting attachment.
Grass trimmer head
• Make sure that you wind the grass trimmer line
tightly and equally around the drum to decrease the
vibration.
• Use only the approved grass trimmer heads and
grass trimmer lines. Refer to
Accessories on page
32
.
• Use a correct length of the grass trimmer line. A long
grass trimmer line uses more engine power than a
short grass trimmer line.
• Make sure that the cutter on the cutting attachment
guard is not damaged.
• Soak the grass trimmer line in water for 2 days
before you attach the grass trimmer line to the
product. This increases the life of the grass trimmer
line.
• Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to
use the correct procedure to load the cord and the
correct cord diameter.
Saw blade and grass blade
• Use correctly sharpened blades. An incorrectly
sharpened or damaged blade increases the risk of
injury.
• Use correctly set blades. Correct blade set is 1 mm.
An incorrectly set blade increases the risk of injury
and damage.
