8.1
Throttle lockout
The throttle lockout is designed to prevent accidental operation of the throttle control.
When you press the lock-out (A) (i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle
trigger (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. (Fig. 1)
Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting when (Fig. 2)
Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its original position when you release
it. (Fig. 3)
Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move freely and that the return springs
work properly. (Fig. 4)
See instructions under the heading Start. Start the machine and apply full throttle. Release
the throttle and check that the cutting attachment stops and remains at a standstill. If the
cutting attachment rotates with the throttle in the idle position then the carburetor idle
setting must be checked. (Fig. 5)
8.2
Engine switch (Fig. 6)
Press down the “O” side of the engine switch to stop the engine.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you move the engine switch to the stop
setting.
8.3
Vibration damping system (Fig. 7)
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to minimize
vibration and make operation easier.
Using incorrectly wound cord or a blunt or incorrect cutting attachment (wrong type or
incorrectly filed, see instructions under the heading Filing the blade) increases the level of
vibration.
The machine′s vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibration between the engine
unit/cutting equipment and the machine′s handle unit.
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation.
Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged and securely attached.
8.4
Quick release
There is an easily accessible, quick release fitted near the suspension ring as a safety
precaution in case the engine catches fire, or in any other situation that requires you to free
yourself from the machine.
8.5
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away
from the user.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the machine.
The inside of the muffler contain chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid
contact with these elements in the event of a damaged muffler.
Bear in mind that: The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may
contain sparks which can start a fire. Never start the machine indoors or
near combustible material!
