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.

Cutting equipment

This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:

•

Reduce the risk of blade thrust.

•

Obtain maximum cutting performance.

•

Extend the life of cutting equipment.
