Recommendations for cutting
Only accelerate as much as necessary.
Prolonged operation at low speed can lead to premature wear of the clutch. On the other hand, the engine
speed should not be kept at the maximum speed after cutting. Prolonged operation at the highest speed
can shorten the life of the motor.
Vertical cut
•
Cut in an arcing motion from the bottom upwards and
then downwards so that the blades are used at both
sides of the blade bar.
Horizontal cut:
•
For optimum cutting results, tilt the blade bar slightly (5-
10°) in the cutting direction.

Cleaning
Regular cleaning guarantees the long service life of your machine and is a prerequisite for its safe operation.

The use of solvents, aggressive chemicals or scouring agents can cause damage to the plastic
parts of the machine!
Thus, when cleaning, use only water and, if necessary, mild detergents.
•
Always wear eye protection when cleaning the machine.

Pay special attention to the air vents. Clean them with a soft brush or blow them out with com-
pressed air at low pressure.
