SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Personal protective equipment
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
•A clearing saw, brushcutter or trimmer used incorrectly or carelessly can become a dangerous tool, that can cause serious or fatal injury to the operator or others. It is extremely important that you read and understand the content of this manual.
•When using a trimmer, personal protective equipment approved by the appropriate authorities must be used. Personal protective equipment does not eliminate the risk of accidents, however, it can reduce the effects of an injury in the event of an accident. Ask your dealer for help when choosing protective equipment.
GLOVES
Gloves should be worn when necessary, e.g., when assembling cutting equipment.
EAR PROTECTION Ear protection offering sufficient dampening effect should be used.
EYE PROTECTION Blows from branches or objects thrown by the rotating cutting equipment can damage the eyes.
BOOTS
Use anti-slip and stable boots.
CLOTHING
Wear clothes made of a strong fabric and avoid loose clothing that can catch on shrubs and branches.
FIRST AID KIT
A first aid kit should be carried by operators of clearing saws, brushcutters or trimmers.
The machine‘s safety equipment
This section describes the machine‘s safety equipment, its function and how checks and maintenance are carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. (See the chapter “What is what“ to locate where this equipment is positioned on your machine.)
!WARNING!
Never use a machine with defective safety equipment. Follow the control, maintenance and service instructions described in this section.
1. Throttle trigger lock
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.
2. Stop switch
The stop switch should be used to stop the engine.
3. Cutting attachment guard
This guard is intended to prevent objects from being thrown towards the operator and to protect the operator from unintentionel contact with the cutting attachment.

!WARNING!
Under no circumstances may the cutting equipment be used without an approved guard fitted. See the chapter “Technical data” . If the wrong guard or a defective guard is fitted this can cause serious personal injury.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4. Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system, which is designed to give as vibration-free and comfortable use as possible.
Use of incorrectly wound cord or incorrect cutting equipment increases the level of vibration.
The machine‘s vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibrations between the engine unit/ cutting equipment and the machine‘s handles. The engine body including the cutting equipment is suspended on the handlebar system via a vibration damping element.
225L Lite |
!WARNING!
Over exposure to vibrations can result in blood-vessel or nerve injury to persons suffering with blood circulation problems. Seek medical attention if you experience physical symptoms that can be related to over exposure to vibrations. Examples of such symptoms are “numbness“, lack of feeling, “tickling“, “pricking“, “pain“ lack of or a reduction in normal strength, changes in the colour of the skin or its surfaces. These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists.
5. Muffler
The muffler is designed to give the lowest possible noise level and to direct the engine‘s exhaust fumes away from the operator. Muffler fitted with catalytic converter is also designed to reduce harmful exhaust components.
In countries that have a warm and dry climate the risk of fire is obvious. We have therefore fitted certain mufflers with a spark arrest screen. Make sure that your muffler is fitted with this kind of screen.
It is extremely important that the instructions for checking, maintaining and servicing the muffler are followed. (see the section “Control, maintenance and service of the machine‘s safety equipment“).
!WARNING!
Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters become extremely hot during use and after stopping. This also applies at idling speeds. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Be observant to the risk of fire!
!WARNING!
Bear in mind that exhaust fumes:
•contain carbon monoxide, which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Therefore never start or run the machine indoors.
•are hot and can contain sparks that can cause fires. Never start the machine indoors or close to inflammable material.
6.Cutting
equipment
The trimmer head is intended for trimming grass.
7. Locking nut
The locking nut secures the cutting equipment on the output shaft.

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.
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.
• 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“.
2. Stop switch
• Start the engine and make sure that the engine stops when the stop switch is moved to the stop position.
3. Cutting attachment guard
•Ensure that the spray guard is undamaged and is not cracked.
•Replace the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is cracked.
•Always use the prescribed blade an guard combination, see chapter
"Technical data".
4. Vibration damping system
•Check the vibration damping element regularly for material cracks and distortion.
•Check that the vibration damping element is securely attached between the engine unit and the handlebar unit.
5. Muffler
1.Never use a machine that has a defective muffler.
2.Check regularly that the muffler is secure.
3.If your muffler is fitted with a spark arrest screen then it should be cleaned regularly. A blocked screen leads to the engine overheating with serious damage as a result. Never use a muffler with a defective spark arrest screen.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6. Cutting equipment
The section describes how through correct maintenance and through using the right type of cutting equipment you can:
•Obtain maximum clearing capacity.
•Increase the service life of the cutting equipment.
Two basic rules:
1)Only use the cutting and guard equipment we recommend! See chapter “Technical data“.
2)Check the cutting equipment with regard to damage and crack formation. Damaged cutting equipment should always be replaced.
7. Locking nut
• Protect your hand from injury when assembling, use the blade guard as protection when tightening with a socket spanner. Tighten the nut by turning against the direction of rotation. Loosen the nut by turning in the direction of rotation. (NOTE! the nut has a left-hand thread).
• Tighten the nut using a socket spanner, 35 - 50 Nm (3.5 - 5 kpm).
NOTE!
The locking nut‘s nylon lock must not be so worn that it can be turned by hand. The lock shall hold at least 1.5 Nm. The nut should be replaced after it has been put on approx. 10 times.
!WARNING!
Never use a machine with defective safety equipment. The safety equipment should be maintained as described in this section. If your machine does not meet any of these controls you should contact your service workshop.
Cutting equipment
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The section describes how through correct maintenance and through using the right type of cutting equipment you can obtain maximum clearing capacity and increase the service life of the cutting equipment.
•Only use the cutting and guard equipment we recommend! See chapter “Technical data“.
•Refer to the instructions for the cutting equipment for the correct winding of cord
and for the selection of the right cord diameter.
Trimmer head
• Only use a trimmer head and trimmer cord that is recommended. These have been tested by the manufacturer to suit a particular engine size. This is especially important when a fully automatic trimmer head is used. Only use the cutting equipment we recommend! See chapter
“Technical data“.
•Generally smaller machines require a small trimmer head and vice versa. This is because when clearing using a cord the engine must throw out the cord radially from the trimmer head and also meet resistance from the grass being cleared.
•The length of the cord is also important. A longer cord requires greater engine power than a shorter cord of the same diameter.
•Make sure the knife positioned on the trimmer guard is intact. This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.
•To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in water for a few days. This will make the line tougher and it will keep longer.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and evenly around the drum, otherwise harmful vibrations will occur.
!WARNING!
Always stop the engine before starting work on any part of the cutting equipment. This continues to rotate even after the throttle has been released. Ensure that the cutting equipment has stopped completely and remove the cable from the spark plug before you start to work on it.
