UCTIONS
The po
wer switch lock remains depressed as long as the
power switch is depressed. When the grip on the handle is
released both the power switch and power switch lock are
reset. This movement is controlled by two independent return
springs. This position results in the machine stopping and the
power switch being locked.
Gradual star
t and overload protection
The machine is equipped with electronically controlled
gradual start and overload protection.
The engine starts to pulsate if the machine is loaded above a
specific level. If the load is reduced the engine reverts to its
normal state and cutting can resume.
The electronics will cut the current after a set time if the
machine continues to be run with a pulsating engine. The
higher load the faster the shutoff.
The electronics cut the current immediately if the blade jams.
Guar
d for the blade
This guard is fi
tted above the cutting blade and is designed to
prevent parts of the blade or cutting fragments from being
thrown towards the user.
