shaft bends. If the blade hits an object, the blade moves

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.
