prevent damage to the power source or possible fire. Remember that operating the starting
mechanism on engine powered machines will still cause the cutting means to move;
10) keep all guards and deflectors in place and in good working condition;
11) Do not tamper with the power source governor settings; the governor controls the safe maximum
operating speed and protects the power source and all moving parts from damage caused by over-
speed. Seek authorised service if a problem exists;
12) Do not transport this machine while the power source is running;
13) Shut off the power source and disconnect the spark plug lead (electric unit disconnect from
supply) whenever you leave the work area;
14) Do not tilt the machine while the power source is running.
Mandedintenance and storage
a) When the machine is stopped for servicing, inspection, or storage, or to change an accessory,
shut off the power source, disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug, make sure that all
moving parts have come to a complete stop and, where a key is fitted remove the key. Allow the
machine to cool before making any inspections, adjustments, etc.
b) Store the machine where fuel vapour will not reach an open flame or spark. For extended storage
periods, run the unit dry of fuel. Always allow the machine to cool before storing;
c) When servicing the cutting means be aware that, even though the power source will not start due
to the interlock feature of the guard, the cutting means can still be moved by a manual starting
mechanism.
