Machine's safety equipment

This section describes 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.
IMPORTANT:
All servicing and repair work
on the machine requires special training. This is
especially true of the machine's safety equipment. If
your machine fails any of the checks described below
you must contact your service agent. When you buy
any of our products we guarantee the availability of
professional repairs and service. If the retailer who
sells your machine is not a servicing dealer, ask him
for the address of your nearest service agent.
a WARNING:
Never use a machine that has
faulty safety equipment.
Follow the control, maintenance and service
instructions described in this section. If your machine
fails any of these checks contact your service agent to
get it repaired.
„ Throttle lock-out
The throttle lock-out is designed to prevent accidental
operation of the throttle control. When you press
the lock-out (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-out
both move back to their original positions.
Make sure the throttle control is locked when the
throttle lock-out is released.
Press the throttle lock-out and make sure it returns to
its original position when you release it.
Check that the throttle control and throttle lock-out
move freely and that the return springs work properly.
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 carburetor
idle setting must be checked. See instructions under
the "MAINTENANCE" section.
„ Stop switch
Make sure the engine stops when you push and
release the stop switch.
