The risk increases at low temperatures. Muffler The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. CAUTION! Muffler is fitted with a catalytic converter designed to reduce harmful exhaust gases. For mufflers, it is very important that you follow the instructions on checking, maintaining, and servicing your machine. See Checking, maintaining and servicing the machine’s safety equipment section. WARNING: Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters get very hot during use and remain so for some time after stopping. This also applies at idle speed. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of fire! WARNING: The inside of the muffler contain chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these elements in the event of a damaged muffler. WARNING: Bear in mind that: Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. For this reason you should not start or run the machine indoors, or anywhere that is poorly ventilated. The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a fire. Never start the machine indoors or near combustible material!

Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to check the correct way to load the trimmer line and the correct line diameter. Trimmer head S Only use the recommended cutting attachments. See the section on “Technical data”. S Smaller machines generally require small trimmer heads and vice versa. This is because when clearing using trimmer line the engine must throw out the trimmer line radially from the trimmer head and overcome the resistance of the grass being cleared. S The length of the trimmer line is also important. A longer trimmer line requires greater engine power than a shorter trimmer line of the same diameter. S Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is intact. This is used to cut the trimmer line to the correct length. S To increase the life of the trimmer line it can be soaked in water for a couple of days. This will make the line tougher so that it lasts longer. IMPORTANT! Always ensure the trimmer line is wound tightly and evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will generate harmful vibration.
