GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of 
accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried 
out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out 
professionally. If you need further information please contact 
your nearest servicing dealer.

Throttle lock

The throttle lock is designed to prevent accidental operation 
of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when 
you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (B). 
When you release the handle the throttle control and the 
throttle lock both move back to their original positions. This 
movement is controlled by two independent return springs. 
This arrangement means that the throttle control is 
automatically locked at the idle setting.

Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting 
when the throttle lock is released.

Press the throttle lock and make sure it returns to its original 
position when you release it.

Check that the throttle control and throttle lock move freely 
and that the return springs work properly.

See instructions under the heading Start. Start the machine 
and apply full throttle. Release the throttle and check that the 
cutting attachment stops and remains at a standstill. If the 
cutting attachment rotates with the throttle in the idle position 
then the carburettor idle setting must be checked. See 
instructions under the heading Maintenance.

Stop switch

Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.

Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you 
move the stop switch to the stop setting.

Cutting attachment guard

This guard is intended to prevent loose objects from being 
thrown towards the operator. The guard also protects the 
operator from accidental contact with the cutting attachment.

Check that the guard is undamaged and not cracked. Replace 
the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is cracked.

Always use the recommended guard for the cutting 
attachment you are using. See chapter on Technical data.
