This section descr ibes 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.

please contact your nearest service workshop.
Thr ottle trigger lockout
The throttle loc kout 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 lockout 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.
Make sure that the throttle trigger is locked at idle setting
when the throttle trigger lockout is released.
Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its
original position when you release it.
Check that the throttle trigger and throttle lockout move
freely and that the return springs work properly.
See instructions under the heading Start. Start the hedge
trimmer and apply full throttle. Release the throttle trigger
and check that the blades stop and remain stationary. If
the blades move when the throttle trigger is in the idle
position then the carburettor idle setting must be adjusted.
See instructions under the heading Maintenance.
