SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
