This section describes the machine‘s safety equipment, its
function and how checks and maintenance are carried out to
ensure that it operates correctly. (See the chapter “What is

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
•
Incorrect or careless use of this machine can
turn it into a dangerous tool that can cause
serious or even fatal injury.
It is extremely important that you read and
understand this manual.
•
When using this machine the safety equipment
approved by the appropriate authorities must be
used. Personal safety equipment does not
eliminate the risk of accidents, however, it can
reduce the effects of an injury in the event of an
accident. Ask your dealer for help when choosing
safety equipment.
1. Throttle trigger
lock
The throttle trigger lock is
designed to prevent the
throttle from accidentally
being engaged. When the
trigger lock (A) is pressed
into the handle the throttle
(B) is released. When the
grip on the handle is
released the throttle and the
throttle trigger lock return
to their original positions.
This takes place via two
independent return spring
systems. This means that
the throttle is automatically
locked in its "idling"
position.
2. Stop switch
The stop switch should be
used to stop the engine.
3. Blad guard
Reduces the risk of the
hand coming in contact
with the clippers if it slides
off the handle.

equipment. Follow the control,
