purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried

Thr
ottle lock
The throttle loc
k 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.
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.
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.

witch

witch to switch off the engine.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you
