s safety equipment, its
purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried
out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the ”What is
what?” section to locate where this equipment is positioned
on your machine.
Vibration damping system
Y
our machine is equipped with a vibration damping system
that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation
easier.
The machine’s vibration damping system reduces the transfer
of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and
the machine’s handle unit.
The engine body, including the cutting equipment, is insulated
from the handles by vibration damping units.
Stop s
witch
Use the stop s
witch to switch off the engine.
Muffl
er
The m
uffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and
to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
CAUTION! Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Thr
ottle 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, both the
throttle and throttle lockout return to their original positions.
This should be done via two, independent return spring
systems. This position means that the throttle is automatically
locked to idling and unintentional activation of this is
prevented.
