ower switch lock

The po wer switch lock is designed to prevent accidental operation of the switch. When the lock (A) is pressed in the power switch (B) is released.

The power switch lock remains depressed as long as the power switch is depressed. When the grip on the handle is released both the power switch and power switch lock are reset. This movement is controlled by two independent return springs. This position results in the machine stopping and the power switch being locked.

Chec king the power switch lock

Make sure the power switch is locked when the power switch lock is in its original position.

Switc h

The po wer switch should be used to start and stop the machine.

Chec king the power switch

Start the machine, release the power switch and check that the engine and the cutting blade stop.

• A defective power switch should be replaced by an authorized service workshop.

• Press in the power switch lock and make sure it returns to its original position when you release it.

• Check that the power switch and power switch lock move freely and that the return springs work properly.

• Start the machine, release the power switch and check that the engine and the cutting blade stop.

Gradual star t and overload protection

The machine is equipped with electronically controlled gradual start and overload protection.

The engine starts to pulsate if the machine is loaded above a speciﬁc level. If the load is reduced the engine reverts to its normal state and cutting can resume.

The electronics will cut the current after a set time if the machine continues to be run with a pulsating engine. The higher load the faster the shutoff.

The electronics cut the current immediately if the blade jams.
