Fitting blades
IM PORTANT!
If a grass blade is to be used, the machine
must be equipped with the correct handle-
bar, blade guard and harness.
Correct balance
Let the cutting attachment rest lightly on
the ground. If you use a grass blade, it
should balance about 10 cm above the
ground to prevent contact with stones and
the like. Adjust the position of the harness
clamp to balance the unit correctly.
Correct height
Adjust the harness so that the cutting at-
tachment is parallel to the ground.

W ARNING: Never use a cutting
attachment without an approved
guard. See the section on Techni-
cal data. If an incorrect or faulty
guard is fitted this can cause seri-
ous personal injury.
W ARNING: When fitting blades,
it is extremely important that the
raised section on the retaining wash-
er engages correctly in the centre
hole of the blade. If the blade is fitted
incorrectly , it can result in serious
and/or fatal personal injury .
