1-2. SAFETY FEATURES

Numbers preceding the descriptions correspond with the numbers on preceding page to help you locate the safety feature.

1LOW KICKBACK SAW CHAIN helps significantly reduce kickback, or the intensity of kickback, due to specially designed depth gauges and guard links.

3SPARK ARRESTER SCREEN retains carbon and other flammable particles over 0.023 inches (0.6mm) in size from engine exhaust flow. Compliance with local, state and federal laws and/or regulations gov- erning the use of a spark arrester screen is the user’s responsibility. See Safety Precautions for additional information.

4CHAIN BRAKE® LEVER / HAND GUARD protects the operator’s left hand in the event it slips off the front handle while saw is running.

4CHAIN BRAKE® is a safety feature designed to reduce the possibility of injury due to kickback by stopping a moving saw chain in milliseconds. It is acti-

vated by the CHAIN BRAKE® lever.

7STOP SWITCH immediately stops the engine when tripped. Stop switch must be pushed to ON position to start or restart engine.

8SAFETY TRIGGER prevents accidental acceleration of the engine. Throttle trigger (20) cannot be squeezed unless the safety latch is depressed.

Additionally, the foldable handle feature allows for compact storage, making them ideal for garages and sheds with limited space.

Safety features have not been overlooked, with both mowers equipped with a blade brake mechanism that stops the blade quickly when the user releases the handle. This ensures added safety, especially in households with children or pets.

In conclusion, the Yard Machines MTD1840AVCC and MTD1640NAVCC are exemplary lawn mowers that combine innovative technology with practical features.
