3. For safe operation
See instructions under the heading Start. Start the machine and
apply full throttle. Release the throttle and check that the cutting
attachment stops and remains at a standstill. If the cutting
attachment rotates with the throttle in the idle position then the
carburettor idle setting must be checked. See instructions under
the heading Maintenance.
2. Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you
move the stop switch to the stop setting.
3. Cutting attachment guard
This guard is intended to prevent loose objects from being
thrown towards the operator. The guard also protects the
operator from accidental contact with the cutting attachment.
Check that the guard is undamaged and not cracked.
Replace the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is
cracked.
Always use the recommended guard for the cutting attachment
you are using. See chapter on Technical data.
WARNING
• Never use a cutting attachment without an approved guard.
See the chapter on Technical data. If an incorrect or faulty
guard is fitted this can cause serious personal injury.
4. Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that
is designed to minimize vibration and make operation easier.
Using incorrectly wound cord or a blunt or incorrect cutting
attachment (wrong type or incorrectly filed, see instructions
under the heading Filing the blade) increases the level of
vibration.
The machine's vibration damping system reduces the transfer
of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the
machine's handle unit.
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation.
Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged and
securely attached.
