An improperly maintained muffler will increase the risk of fire and hearing loss. Never touch a hot muffler or spill fuel or other flammable liquid over it. Burn injuries or fire will result. If your muffler was equipped with a sparkarresting screen to reduce the risk of fire (e. g. in the USA, Canada and Australia), never operate your cut-off machine if the screen is missing or damaged. In California, it is a violation of § 4442 or § 4443 of the Public Resources Code to use or operate gasoline-powered tools on forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the engine's exhaust system is equipped with a complying spark arrester that is maintained in effective working order. The owner/operator of this product is responsible for properly maintaining the spark arrester. Other states or governmental entities/agencies, such as the U.S. Forest Service, may have similar requirements. Contact your local fire agency or forest service for the laws or regulations relating to fire protection requirements. For any maintenance please refer to the maintenance chart and to the warranty statement near the end of the instruction manual.
