Stop s witch
Use the stop s witch to switch off the engine.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
Muffl er
The m uffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a
significant risk of fire. We therefore fit certain mufflers with
a spark arrestor mesh. Check whether the muffler on your
machine is fitted with this kind of mesh.
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the
instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your
machine.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.
