ne, silencer, battery and fuel tank free
from grass, leaves and oil .
To reduce the risk of fire, regularly
check the machine for oil and/or fuel

an the machine adhere to the instructions
provided below:
• Clean the motor (17:A) cooling air intake.
• After cleaning using water, start the machine
and any cutting device assy to remove any wa-
ter which may otherwise end up in the bearings
and cause damage..

8 USING THE ACCESSORY

Make sure the grass to be cut is com-
pletely free of foreign objects such as
stones etc .
8 .1

CUTTING HEIGHT

For best results, cut off the top third of the grass.
See fig. (18). To adjust the cutting height see
heading 6.9.
If the grass is long and needs cutting back signifi-
cantly, cut twice using two different cutting heights.
Do not use the lowest cutting heights if the lawn
surface is uneven.
This would entail a risk of the cutting devices being
damaged against the surface and the lawn's top
layer of soil being removed.
