SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
Check the muffler
• Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
• Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.
Throttle lockout
The throttle trigger lock is designed to prevent accidental
operation of the throttle. When the lock (A) is pressed in this
releases the throttle (B).
The trigger lock remains pressed in as long as the throttle is
pressed. When the grip on the handle is released the throttle
trigger and the throttle trigger lock both return to their original
positions. This is controlled by two independent return spring
systems. This means that the throttle trigger is automatically
locked in the idle position.
Check the throttle lockout
• Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting
when the throttle lockout is released.
• Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its
original position when you release it.
• Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move
freely and that the return springs work properly.
• Start the power cutter and apply full throttle. Release the
throttle control and check that the cutting blade stops and
remains stationary. If the cutting blade rotates when the
throttle is in the idle position you should check the
carburettor’s idle adjustment. See instructions under the
heading Maintenance.
Guard for the blade
This guard is fitted above the cutting blade and is designed to
prevent parts of the blade or cutting fragments from being
thrown towards the user.
!
WARNING! The muffler gets very hot in use
and remains so for a short time afterwards.
Do not touch the muffler if it is hot!
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!
The inside of the muffler contain chemicals
that may be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with
these elements in the event of a damaged
muffler.
IMPORTANT! For mufflers it is very important that you
follow the instructions on checking, maintaining and
servicing your machine. See instructions under the heading
Checking, maintaining and servicing the machine’s safety
equipment.
