s safety equipment
This section descr ibes the machine ′ s safety equipment, its
purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried
out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the ”What is
what?” section to locate where this equipment is positioned
on your machine.
The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of
accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried
out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out
professionally. If you need further information please contact
your nearest service workshop.
Thr ottle lock
The throttle loc k is designed to prevent accidental operation
of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when
you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (B). When
you release the handle the throttle control and the throttle lock
both move back to their original positions. This movement is
controlled by two independent return springs. This
arrangement means that the throttle control is automatically
locked at the idle setting.
Stop s witch
Use the stop s witch to switch off the engine.
Cutting attac hment guard
This guard is intended to pre vent loose objects from being
thrown towards the operator. The guard also protects the
operator from accidental contact with the cutting attachment.
IMPORTANT! Whenever you use a clearing saw,
brushcutter or trimmer you must wear personal protective
equipment that is approved by the authorities. Personal
protective equipment does not eliminate the risk of
accidents, but it can reduce the effects of an injury in the
event of an accident. Ask your dealer for help when
choosing protective equipment.
