GENERAL SAFETY PRECA

UTIONS

The lif

e span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out professionally. If you need further information please contact your nearest service workshop.

Thr

ottle lockout

The throttle loc

kout is designed to prevent accidental operation of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (B). When you release the handle the throttle control and the throttle lockout both move back to their original positions. This movement is controlled by two independent return springs. 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 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.

See instructions under the heading Start. Start the hedge trimmer and apply full throttle. Release the throttle trigger and check that the blades stop and remain stationary. If the blades move when the throttle trigger is in the idle position then the carburettor idle setting must be adjusted. See instructions under the heading Maintenance.

Stop s

witch

Use the stop s

witch to switch off the engine.

Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you move the stop switch to the stop setting.

Hand guar

The hand guard pre

vents hands from coming into contact with the moving blades, for example, if the operator loses grip on the front handle.

Check that the hand guard is ﬁtted correctly.

Check that the hand guard is undamaged.

IMPORTANT!

All servicing and repair work on the machine requires special training. This is especially true of the machine

′

s safety equipment. If your machine fails any of the checks described below you must contact your service agent.

UTIONS

Vibration damping system

our machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation easier.

The machine′s vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machine′s handle unit. The engine body including the blades is suspended on the handlebar system via a four springs.

Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation. Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged and securely attached.

Mufﬂ

The m

ufﬂer is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user. A mufﬂer ﬁtted with a catalytic converter is also designed to reduce harmful exhaust gases.

In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a signiﬁcant risk of ﬁre. We therefore ﬁt certain mufﬂers with a spark arrestor mesh. Check whether the mufﬂer on your machine is ﬁtted with this kind of mesh.

For mufﬂers it is very important that you follow the instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine.

Never use a machine that has a faulty mufﬂer.

Regularly check that the mufﬂer is securely attached to the machine.

If the mufﬂer on your machine is ﬁtted with a spark arrestor mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious damage.

WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage in people who have impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration. Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally appear in the ﬁngers, hands or wrists. The risk increases at low temperatures.

WARNING! Mufﬂers ﬁtted with catalytic converters get very hot during use and remain so for some time after stopping. This also applies at idle speed. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of ﬁre!

WARNING! The inside of the mufﬂer contain chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these elements in the event of a damaged mufﬂer.

WARNING! Bear in mind that:

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!
