Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation easier.

The engine body, including the cutting equipment, is insulated from the handles by vibration damping units.
Stop switch

!and remains so for a short time afterwards. Do not touch the muffler if it is hot!

The trigger lock remains pressed in as long as the throttle is pressed. When the grip on the handle is released the throttle trigger and the throttle trigger lock both return to their original positions. This is controlled by two independent return spring systems. This means that the throttle trigger is automatically locked in the idle position.

WARNING! Always check that the blade
!guard is fitted correctly before starting the machine.
This guard is fitted above the cutting blade and is designed to prevent parts of the blade or cutting fragments from being thrown towards the user.
