Attention: The engine speed can be adjusted while
driving. Push the throttle (3) forwards or backwards to
adjust the engine speed. It is recommended to leave
the throttle in the centre position to reduce vibrations.

Due to the design of the single-sided moving blade, the
vibrations can be very strong.

embankments or ditches where it may tip over or slip.
On slopes, the cutting path should be made perpendic-
