GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Press the throttle lock--out and make sure
it returns to its original position when you
release it.
Check that the throttle control and throttle
lock--out move freely and that the return
springs work properly.
GLOVES
Gloves should be worn when necessary,
e.g., when fitting cutting attachments.
BOOTS
Wear anti--slip and stable boots.
Throttle lock --out
The throttle lock--out is designed to prevent
accidental operation of the throttle control.
When you press the lock--out (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--out both move back to their original
positions. This movement is controlled by
two independent return springs. This ar-
rangement means that the throttle control is
automatically locked at the idle setting.
CLOTHING
Wear clothes made of a strong fabric and
avoid loose clothing that can catch on
shrubs and branches. Always wear heavy,
long pants. Do not wear jewelry, shorts
sandals or go barefoot. Secure hair so it is
above shoulder level.
FIRST AID KIT
A first aid kit should be carried by opera-
tors of clearing saws, brushcutters or trim-
mers.
