General rules
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended file gauge. An
incorrectly sharpened or damaged blade increases the risk of
accidents.
Keep the correct setting on the saw blade! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended setting tool. An
incorrectly set saw blade increases the risk of jamming and
blade thrust, and damage to the saw blade.
Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.
Sharpening grass cutters and grass
blades
See the cutting attachment packaging for correct
sharpening instructions. Sharpen blades and cutters
using a single-cut flat file.
Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of the
blade.

WARNING! Always stop the engine before
doing any work on the cutting attachment.
This continues to rotate even after the
throttle has been released. Ensure that the
cutting attachment has stopped completely
and disconnect the HT lead from the spark
plug before you start to work on it.
!
WARNING! Using an incorrect cutting
attachment or an incorrectly sharpened
blade increases the risk of blade thrust.
!
WARNING! Always discard a blade that is
bent, twisted, cracked, broken or damaged
in any other way. Never attempt to straighten
a twisted blade so that it can be reused. Only
use original blades of the specified type.
