MACHINE´S SAFETY EQUIPMENT
8 – English
General
This section describes the machine
′
s safety equipment,
its purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be
carried out to ensure that it operates correctly.
Throttle trigger 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.
Checking 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 trigger 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 in the section "Maintenance".
Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Checking the stop switch
•
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops
when you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
Blade guard
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.
Checking the blade and the blade guard
•
Check that the guard over the cutting blade is not
cracked or damaged in any other way. Replace when
damaged.
•
Check that the cutting blade is fitted correctly and
does not show signs of damage. A damaged cutting
blade can cause personal injury.
