SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!
WARNING!
Never use a machine with defective safety
equipment. Follow the control, maintenance
and service instructions described in this
section.
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.
