To use the correct working technique
•
Stay away from the blade path while the engine is
on. The correct operator position is between the
handles.
•
Examine the cutting blade frequently for cracks and
broken parts during the work day. Do not use a
damaged cutting blade.
WARNING: Stop the engine before you
examine the cutting blade.
•
Do not grind with the side of the cutting blade. The
cutting blade can break and cause injury to the
operator or bystanders. Only use the cutting edge.
•
Do not bend or twist the cutting blade in the cut.
•
Make sure that the cutting blade moves freely and
does not catch in the cut.
Straight operation of the product
During operation, the cutting blade causes resistance to
the forward movement from the rear wheels. This
causes the product to steer in the same direction as the
cutting blade is installed. To prevent a bent cut, the
angle of the rear axle can be adjusted. There are 2
procedures to adjust the rear axle, with the E-track
function or with a manual axle adjustment.
To adjust the rear axle with the E-track
function
You can do the rear axle adjustment with the E-track
function during operation or when the product is
stationary.
