SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum 
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
Check the muffler
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to 
the machine.
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 the throttle 
trigger and the throttle trigger lock both return to their original 
positions. This is controlled by two independent return spring 
systems. This means that the throttle trigger is automatically 
locked in the idle position.
Check the throttle lockout
Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting 
when the throttle lockout is released.
Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its 
original position when you release it.
Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move 
freely and that the return springs work properly.
Start the power cutter and apply full throttle. Release the 
throttle control and check that the cutting blade stops and 
remains stationary. If the cutting blade rotates when the 
throttle is in the idle position you should check the 
carburettor’s idle adjustment. See instructions under the 
heading Maintenance.
Guard for the blade
This guard is fitted above the cutting blade and is designed to 
prevent parts of the blade or cutting fragments from being 
thrown towards the user.
!
WARNING! The muffler gets very hot in use 
and remains so for a short time afterwards. 
Do not touch the muffler if it is hot!
The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot 
and may contain sparks which can start a 
fire. Never start the machine indoors or near 
combustible material!
The inside of the muffler contain chemicals 
that may be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with 
these elements in the event of a damaged 
muffler.
IMPORTANT! For mufflers it is very important that you 
follow the instructions on checking, maintaining and 
servicing your machine. See instructions under the heading 
Checking, maintaining and servicing the machine’s safety 
equipment.
