General Maintenance And Care - Sabo MS-36 Mode D'emploi

WARNING
Keep the brushcutter away from the body at all times and keep it at a safe distance. Any contact with the trimmer head or blade while the unit is in use can lead to serious injuries.
OPERATING TIPS
See figure 7
·
Hold the machine with the correctly connected shoulder harness.
·
Hold the machine to the right of the body at all times. Otherwise the grass deflector cannot provide full protection.
·
Hold the machine firmly with both hands at all times during operation.
·
Cut high grass from top to bottom. This prevents grass from winding around the shaft housing and the spool, which could lead to damage to the device due to overheating.
If grass wraps around the trimmer head or the shaft housing
See figure 5 and 6
· Release the switch trigger (1) to stop the brushcutter.
·
Remove the battery.
·
Remove the grass on the trimmer head or the shaft housing.
TIPS FOR CUTTING
See figure 8
·
Hold the brushcutter tilted slightly forward. This achieves the best cutting results.
·
The brushcutter cuts best when it moves from left to right across the cutting area.
·
Use the tips of the cutting line to cut and cut grass starting from the edge of the lawn. Do not push the trimmer head into the middle of uncut grass.
·
Frequent contact between the cutting line with stationary objects such as curbstones, walls, fences, trees, can result in increased wear and tear and cause the line to break.
·
Avoid contact between the blade with stationary objects such as curbstones, walls, fences, trees. This can cause damage to the blade and to the object.
·
Avoid cutting trees and bushes. Tree bark, wooden ornaments, external wall cladding and fence posts can be easily damaged by the line and blade.
FEEDING THE LINE
See figure 9 and 10
·
When the brushcutter is being used, the cutting line becomes worn and shorter.
·
This brushcutter includes a bump feed with line advance (27).
·
The line is lengthened by hitting the trimmer head (8) against the ground while the motor is running.
Feed line every time you hear that the motor is running faster than normal or if the cutting performance deteriorates.
This maintains the optimum performance and the line is long enough that it can be fed properly.
·
The blade (7) shortens the line to achieve optimal line length.
SETTING THE CUTTING DIAMETER
See figure 10
NOTE
The machine is set to a cutting diameter of 356 mm at delivery. You can also set a cutting diameter of 406 mm.
With a cutting diameter of 356 mm, you have a longer running time and with a cutting diameter of 406 mm you can cut larger areas faster.
·
Remove the battery.
·
Remove the screws from the cut-off blade (7).
·
Rotate the cut-off blade by 180°.
·
Tighten the screws.
