SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 carburettor idle setting must be
checked. See instructions under the heading
Maintenance.

Stop switch

Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.

Cutting attachment guard

Ensure that the guard is undamaged and is not cracked.

Replace the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is
cracked.

Always use the recommended guard for the cutting
attachment you are using. See chapter on Technical data.

Vibration damping system

Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation.

Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged
and securely attached.

Muffler

Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.

Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the
machine.

If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark arrestor
mesh then it should be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh
causes the engine to overheat, which can lead to serious
damage.

Never use a muffler with a defective spark arrestor mesh.
