THE MACHINE’S SAFETY
EQUIPMENT
This section describes the cut-off saw’s safety equipment, its
function and how checks and maintenance are carried out to
ensure that it operates correctly.
WARNING! Never use a cut-off saw with
defective safety equipment. Follow the
control, maintenance and service instructions
described in this manual.
1 Anti-vibration
system
Your cut-off saw is equipped
with an anti-vibration system.
This is designed to give as low
vibration levels and
comfortable usage as possible.
The cut-off saw’s antivibration
system reduces the transfer of
vibration between the engine/
cutting equipment and the
operator. The engine body
including the cutting equipment
is suspended in
a handle system via anti-
vibration elements.
2 Stop switch
The stop switch should be
used to stop the engine.
