locked in the “idling position”
when the throttle trigger lock
is in its original position.

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.

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

4. Vibration damping
system
• Check the vibration damping
element regularly for material
cracks and distortion.
• Check that the vibration
damping element is
undamaged and securely

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

screen leads to the engine
overheating with serious
damage as a result. Never
use a muffler with a
detective spark arrest
screen.
