• This applies especially to the machine’s safety
equipment. If the machine does not meet any of the
controls listed below you should contact your serv-
ice workshop.

Control, maintenance and service of
the machine’s safety equipment
1. Throttle trigger
lock
• Check that the throttle is
locked in the “idling position”
when the throttle trigger lock
is in its original position.
• Press in the throttle trigger
lock and make sure it returns
to its original position when
released.
• Ensure that the throttle and
throttle trigger lock move eas-
ily and that their return spring
systems function.
• See section "Start". Start
the machine and apply full
throttle. Release the throttle
and check that the cutting
equipment stops and remains
at a standstill. If the cutting
equipment rotates with the
throttle in the idling position
then the carburettor’s idling
setting must be checked. See
chapter “Maintenance”.
2. Stop switch
• Start the engine and make
sure that the engine stops
when the stop switch is
moved to the stop position.

3. Cutting attachment
guard
• Ensure that the guard is un-
damaged and is not cracked.
• Replace the guard if it has
been exposed to impact or is
cracked.
• Always use the prescribed
blade and guard combination,
see chapter "Technical data".
4. Vibration damping
system
• Check the vibration damping
element regularly for material
cracks and distortion.
• Check that the vibration
damping element is undam-
aged and securely attached.
5. Muffl er
1. Never use a machine that
has a defective muffl er.
2. Check regularly that the
muffl er is secure.
3. If your muffl er is fi tted
with a spark arrest screen
then it should be cleaned
regularly. A blocked
screen leads to the engine
overheating with serious
damage as a result. Never
use a muffl er with a detec-
tive spark arrest screen.
