Throttle lockout The throttle lockout 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 lockout 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. B A Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting when the throttle lockout is released. Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its original position when you release it.

Never use a cutting attachment without an approved guard. See the chapter on Technical data. If an incorrect or faulty guard is fitted this can cause serious personal injury. Vibration damping system Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to reduce vibration and make operation easier. Use of incorrectly wound cord or an incorrect cutting attachment increases the level of vibration. See instructions under the heading Cutting equipment. The machine.s vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machine.s handle unit. Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation. Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged and securely attached. ! WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage in people who have impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration. Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists.
