• 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 carburettor idle setting must be
checked. See instructions under the heading
Maintenance.
Stop switch
• Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
Cutting attachment guard
• Ensure that the guard is undamaged and is not cracked.
• Replace the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is
cracked.
• Always use the recommended guard for the cutting
attachment you are using. See chapter on Technical data.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vibration damping system
• Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation.
• Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged
and securely attached.
Muffler
• 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 then it should be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh
causes the engine to overheat, which can lead to serious
damage.
Never use a muffler with a defective spark arrestor mesh.
