Safety equipment checking
WARNING: Never use a machine with faulty safety equipment. The machine's safety
equipment must be checked and maintained as described in this section. If your machine
fails any of these checks contact your service agent to get it repaired.
Throttle lock
The throttle lock is designed to prevent accidental operation of the throttle control. This arrangement means
that the throttle control is automatically locked at the idle setting.
Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting when the throttle lock is released.
Press the throttle lock and make sure it returns to its original position when you release it.
Check that the throttle control and throttle lock move freely and that the return springs work properly.
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.
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 section on
Technical Data. Use of an incorrect or faulty guard may lead to serious personal injury.
Precautions to Reduce Vibration Risk
• The brush cutter is provided with anti-vibration (AV) system; never alter or modify it.
• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Keep the blade sharp and the brush cutter, including the AV system, well maintained. A dull blade will increase
the vibrations transmitted to your hands.
• When using a string cord attachment check that the cord is correctly wound; an unbalanced attachment
will highly increase the vibration level.
• Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do not squeeze the handles with constant, excessive pressures, take
frequent breaks. All the above mentioned precautions do not guarantee that you will not sustain
whitefinger disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, continual and regular users should monitor
closely the condition of their hands and fingers. If any of the above symptoms appear, seek medical advice
immediately.
Maintenance Precaution
WARNING: Never operate a brush cutter that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not
completely and securely assembled.
• Be sure that the cutting attachment stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released. If the
cutting attachment moves at idle speed, the carburetor may need adjusting, see Operation-Carburetor
Adjusting Section. If the cutting attachment still moves at idle speed after adjustment has been made,
contact a Servicing Dealer for adjustment and discontinue use until the repair is made.
WARNING: All brush cutter service, other than items in the Operator's Manual maintenance
instructions, must be performed by competent brush cutter service personnel. (If
improper tools are used to remove the flywheel or clutch, or if an improper tool is used to
hold the flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel could
occur which could cause the flywheel to burst and serious injury could result.)
