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.
WARNING! Never use a machine with
!
faulty safety equipment. The machine's
safety equipment must be checked and
maintained as described in this section.
If your machine fails any of these checks
contact your service agent to get it
repaired.
Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a
significant risk of fire. We therefore fit certain mufflers with
a spark arrestor mesh. Check whether the muffler on your
machine is fitted with this kind of mesh.
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the
instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your
machine.
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 this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked
mesh will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to
serious damage.
WARNING! The inside of the muffler
!
contain chemicals that may be
carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these
elements in the event of a damaged
muffler.
WARNING! Bear in mind that: 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!
