The engine may be very warm immedia-
tely after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling fins. This
can cause burn injuries .

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
leaks .
Never use high-pressure water jets .
This can damage shaft seals, electrical
components or hydraulic valves .
Always clean the machine after use. To clean
the machine adhere to the instructions provided
below:
• Do not spray water directly onto the engine.
• Clean the engine with a brush and/or
compressed air.
• Clean the motor cooling air intake.

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. 23.
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.
