SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION! Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.

Throttle lockout

The throttle trigger lock is designed to prevent accidental
operation of the throttle. When the lock (A) is pressed in this
releases the throttle (B).
The trigger lock remains pressed in as long as the throttle is
pressed. When the grip on the handle is released, both the
throttle and throttle lockout return to their original positions.
This should be done via two, independent return spring
systems. This position means that the throttle is automatically
locked to idling and unintentional activation of this is
prevented.

Protection for the blades

These guards are fitted above and below the blades and are
designed to prevent parts of the blades or cut material from
being thrown towards the user.
