Throttle lock
• Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting
when the throttle lock is released.
• Press the throttle lock and make sure it returns to its
original position when you release it.
• Check that the throttle control and throttle lock move freely
and that the return springs work properly.
• The throttle lock 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 lock 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.
• See instructions under the heading Start. Start the
machine and apply full throttle. Release the throttle and
check that the cutting attachment stops and remains at a
standstill. If the cutting attachment rotates with the throttle
in the idle position then the carburettor idle setting must be
checked. See instructions under the heading
Maintenance.
Stop switch
• Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
Cutting attachment guard
• Ensure that the guard is undamaged and is not cracked.
• Replace the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is
cracked.
• Always use the recommended guard for the cutting
attachment you are using. See chapter on Technical data.
