s safety equipment

 

This section describes the machine

 

 

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.

 

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.

 

Stop switch

 

Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.

 

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.

IMPORTANT! Whenever you use a clearing saw, 
brushcutter or trimmer you must wear personal protective 
equipment that is approved by the authorities. Personal 
protective equipment does not eliminate the risk of 
accidents, but it can reduce the effects of an injury in the 
event of an accident. Ask your dealer for help when 
choosing protective equipment.

!

 

WARNING! Listen out for warning signals or 
shouts when you are wearing hearing 
protection. Always remove your hearing 
protection as soon as the engine stops.

!

 

WARNING! Never use a machine that has 
faulty safety equipment! Carry out the 
inspection, maintenance and service 
routines listed in this section.

!

 

WARNING! Never use a cutting attachment 
without an approved guard. See the chapter 
on Technical data. If an incorrect or faulty 
guard is fitted this can cause serious 
personal injury.
