ENGLISH
When replacing the blade, the blade screw should also be replaced.
The guarantee does not cover damage to the blade, blade holder or engine caused by running into ob- stacles.
When replacing the blade, blade holder and blade screw, always use genuine spare parts.
SHARPENING THE BLADES
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet method grinding, using a whetstone or a grind- stone.
For safety reasons, the blades should not be sharp- ened on an emery wheel. A very high temperature could cause the blades to become brittle.
Once the blade has been sharpened, it must then be balanced to avoid vibra- tion damage.
STORAGE
WINTER STORAGE
Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run until it stops. The same petrol must not remain in the tank for more than one month.
Tip up the mower and unscrew the spark plug. Pour a tablespoon of engine oil into the spark plug hole. Pull out the starter handle slowly so that the oil is distributed in the cylinder. Screw in the spark plug.
Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in a dry place.
SERVICING
Genuine spare parts are supplied by service work- shops and by many dealers.
