Stopping - Husqvarna K970 II Rescue Operator's Manual

WARNING! When the engine is running
!
the exhaust contains chemicals such as
unburned hydrocarbons and carbon
monoxide. The content of the exhaust
fumes is known to cause respiratory
problems, cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive har
Carbon monoxide is colorless and
tasteless and is always present in
exhaust fumes. The onset of carbon
monoxide poisoning is distinguished by
a slight dizziness which may or may not
be recognized by the victim. A person
may collapse and lapse into
unconsciousness with no warning if the
concentration of carbon monoxide is
sufficiently high. Since carbon monoxide
is colorless and odorless, its presence
can not be detected. Any time exhaust
odors are noticed, carbon monoxide is
present. Never use a petrol powered
power cutter indoors or in trenches more
than 3 foot (1 meter) deep or in other
areas with poor ventilation. Ensure
proper ventilation when working in
trenches or other confined areas.

Stopping

!
rotate up to a minute after the motor has
stopped. (Blade coasting.) Make sure
that the cutting blade can rotate freely
until it is completely stopped.
Carelessness can result in serious
personal injury.
• Stop the engine by moving the stop switch (STOP) to
the right.
