Q. What are the safety features on my machine?

Electric mowers have lock-off buttons, which means the machine needs a double operation to start; also steel blade machines have a brake fitted, which stops the blade within 3 seconds. Petrol Mowers have an OPC (Operator Presence control) lever - when the lever is pressed, it sparks the ignition and releases the brake. When releases it kills the ignition and applies the brake stopping the blade in 3 seconds. Electric Trimmers have lock off buttons or the switch lever has a guard to stop accidental starting. Garden vacs cannot be activated unless the bag is attached.

Chainsaws have numerous safety features - chain brake to stop the chain or kick back chains, throttle lock, centrifugal clutches, etc.
