damage to persons with decreased blood
circulation. Get medical aid if you have
symptoms of overexposure to vibration.
These symptoms include numbness, loss of

The blade support decreases the risk that the engine
shaft bends. If the blade hits an object, the blade moves
against the blade support. The movement causes wear
on the surface of the blade support. The wear shows
that the protection of the engine shaft functions
correctly.

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.

engine operates at idle speed. Be careful
near flammable materials and/or fumes to
