PREPARATION
 When mowing, always wear solid footwear and long pants, do not operate the device without shoes or wearing sandals.
 Check carefully the area where the device will work and remove all stones, branches, wires, bones and other foreign objects.
 In high grass, you may not notice obstacles (e.g. stumps, roots), so before starting work with the device, mark all obstacles
hidden in the grass that cannot be removed.
 Always check the blades, bolts and knife assembly for wear and damage before use. Replace worn or damaged knives and bolts
in pairs to maintain balance.
 In the case of multi-knife devices, be careful, because the rotation of one knife may cause the rotation of other knives.
KNIFE SHARPENING
 To ensure optimal working conditions for the mower, the machine's knife should be sharpened. This seemingly simple operation
must be carried out with special care. It requires a lot of technical knowledge and necessary service equipment. The
manufacturer is not responsible for any damage to the mower related to improper knife sharpening. The recommended angle
is 30 °.
 It is safe to have the knife sharpened by an authorized NAX service center.
 Before sharpening, the mower should be turned off, allow the engine to cool down, remove the high voltage cable from the spark
plug, if necessary remove the battery and unscrew the knife.
 The knife can be sharpened manually, using a whetstone or a suitable metal file, it is preferable to sharpen with a professional
sharpener, all the time bearing in mind that the blade may overheat, thus it will not be suitable for work. It is recommended to use
liquid coolant for metalworking, it is permissible to use water all the time, bearing in mind that not all sharpening machines can
work in the coolant stream. The blue surface of the blade indicates damage to the knife, which should no longer be used.
 After each sharpening, the knife must be balanced. If the user does not have a balancing machine and the appropriate
knowledge, it is necessary to return the knife to a specialized service for balancing. Working with an unbalanced knife causes
excessive vibration and, as a consequence, may cause loosening of the screw connections of the entire device, including
the knife attachment screw, which may be dangerous to the health and life of the user.
