When you release the handle the throttle control and the throttle lockout both move back to their original positions.

Muffler The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user. To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine and silencer free of debris, leaves and excessive lubricant. Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler. Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the machine.
Cutting equipment (Brush cutter & Grass trimmer) This section describes how to choose and maintain your cutting equipment in order to: • Reduce the risk of blade thrust. • Obtain maximum cutting performance. • Extend the life of cutting equipment.

Never use a blunt chain. When the chain is blunt you have to exert more pressure to force the bar through the wood and the cuttings will be very small. If the chain is very blunt it will not produce any cuttings at all. Wood powder would be the only result.
