THE POWER CUTTER’S SAFETY EQUIPMENT

This section describes the power cutter’s safety equipment, its function and how checks and maintenance are carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. (See the chapter “What is what“ to locate where this equipment is positioned on your power cutter.)

!WARNING! Never use a power cutter with defective safety equipment. Follow the control, maintenance and service instructions described in this manual.

The power cutter’s anti- vibration system reduces the transfer of vibration between the engine/cutting equipment and the cutting trolley. The engine body including the cutting equipment is suspended in a handle system via anti-vibration elements.

2 Stop switch

The stop switch should be used to stop the engine.
