Adjust correctly
The depth of cut is influenced by uneven
ground as well as height and working
position of the operator. For this reason,
N adjust the wheel (2) so that the
blade (3) barely touches the ground
when the machine is held in a
normal working posture or
penetrates the ground at most to a
depth (B) of 5 mm.
N Tighten wingnut clockwise
N Standing in the normal working
position, check the depth of cut
again – correct it if necessary
WARNING
Do not adjust the deflector.
The deflector has been set by the
manufacturer so that the arrow on the
deflector and the open side point away
from the operator. This ensures that
cuttings and other debris will be directed
away from the machine and operator.
Edging
N Start the engine
N Start the cut at at least half throttle
and continue cutting at full throttle
N Hold and guide the unit so that the
blade is vertical
N Cut steadily so that the engine
speed does not decline to any major
extent – do not apply force
N Cut at a normal walking pace
N Do not push the blade into the
ground
N Always walk forwards when cutting,
do not pull the unit towards you
N Cut at a steady pace – this avoids
having to make several passes
