•
If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign objects or if the machine should start
making any unusual noise or vibration, shut off the power source and allow the machine
to stop, disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug ( electric unit disconnect
from supply) and take the following steps:
−
Inspect for damage
−
Check for and tighten any loose parts
−
Have any damaged parts replaced or repaired with parts having equivalent
specifications
•
Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge zone; this may prevent
proper discharge and can result kickback of material through the feed intake opening
•
If the machine becomes clogged, shut of the power source and disconnect the spark
plug wire from the spark plug (electric unit disconnect from supply) before clearing
debris. Keep the power source clear of debris and other accumulations to 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
•
Keep all guards and deflectors in place and in good working condition
•
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 authorized service if a problem exists.
•
Do not transport this machine while the power source is running
•
Shut off the power source and disconnect the spark plug lead (electric unit disconnect
from supply) whenever you leave the work area
•
Do not tilt the machine while the power source is running
5.3 Maintenance and storage
•
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 (electric unit disconnect from supply), make sure that all moving parts have come
to a complete stop and, where a key is fitted remove. Allow the machine to cool before
making any inspections, adjustments, etc
•
Store the machine where fuel vapor will not reach an open flame or spark. For extended
storage periods, run the unit dry of fuel. Allow the machine to cool before storing.
•
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.
5.4 Additional safety instructions for units with bagging attachments
•
Shut-off the power unit before attaching or removing the bag.
