Caution:
Never start the machine if there is dust or dirt on the engine or between the
cooling fins of the engine This prevents optimal cooling of the engine and
more importantly can cause fire.
Warning:
The drive shaft for the blades is directly driven by the engine. The blades
cannot be disengaged. The machine is therefore dangerous as soon as the
engine is running. Consequently, the engine must be switched OFF
immediately if a situation occurs where a person looses control of the work.
How to switch the machine off quickly:
1. By pushing the emergency stop lever backwards, the engine is switched
OFF.
2. The engine can be switched off using the stop switch or the rotary knob.
3. By raising the safety net, the engine is also switched OFF.

The starting procedure for the engine can vary slightly from one engine
make to another. Please also refer to the engine manual.
