ibes the machine´s safety equipment,
its purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be
carried out to ensure that it operates correctly.
Thr
ottle trigger lockout
The throttle tr
igger lock is designed to prevent accidental
operation of the throttle. When the lock (A) is pressed in
this releases the throttle (B).
The trigger lock remains pressed in as long as the throttle
is pressed. When the grip on the handle is released the
throttle trigger and the throttle trigger lock both return to
their original positions. This is controlled by two
independent return spring systems. This means that the
throttle trigger is automatically locked in the idle position.
Chec
king the throttle lockout
•
Make sure that the throttle trigger is locked at idle
setting when the throttle trigger lockout is released.
•
Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to
its original position when you release it.
•
Check that the throttle trigger and throttle lockout
move freely and that the return springs work properly.
•
Start the diamond chain saw and apply full throttle.
Release the throttle control and check that the chain
stops and remains stationary. If the chain rotates
when the throttle control is in the "IDLE POSITION"
you should check the carburettor's "IDLE
ADJUSTMENT". See instructions in the section
"Maintenance".

Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Checking the stop switch
•
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops
when you move the stop switch to the stop setting.

WARNING! Never use a machine that has
faulty safety equipment! If your machine

agent to get it repaired.
The engine should be switched off, and
the stop switch in STOP position.
