SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Control, maintenance and service of the machine‘s safety equipment
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
•All service and repairs to the machine require special training.
•This applies especially to the machine‘s safety equipment. If the machine does not meet any of the controls listed below you should contact your service workshop.
•The purchase of one of our products guarantees that professional repair and servicing will be carried out on it. If the point of purchase is not one of our servicing dealers, please ask for details of the closest service workshop.
•See section "Start". Start the machine and apply full throttle. Release the throttle and check that the cutting equipment stops and remains at a standstill. If the cutting equipment rotates with the throttle in the idling position then the carburettor‘s idling setting must be checked. See chapter “Maintenance“.
1.Throttle trigger lock
•Check that the throttle is locked in the “idling position“ when the throttle trigger lock is in its original position.
•Press in the throttle trigger lock and make sure it returns to its original position when released.
•Ensure that the throttle and throttle trigger lock move easily and that their return spring systems function.
The throttle trigger lock is designed to prevent the throttle from accidentally being engaged. When the trigger lock (A) is pressed into the handle (= when you hold the handle) the throttle
(B)is released. When the grip on the handle is released the throttle and the throttle trigger lock return to their original positions. This takes place via two independent return spring systems. This means that the throttle is automatically locked in its “idling“ position.
