Push the lower cutter plate 1 below the heads of the clamping
screws 9 all the way on to the cutter head shell and screw both
clamping screws 9 tight.
Tighten the adjusting screw 4 until both cutter plates are pressing
slightly against one another, see Fig. A.
Adjusting the plate pressure
Note
The plate pressure must be set with the machine running and without
auxiliary tools.
Note
If the plate pressure is too high, this results in the build-up of heat and
greater wear to the cutter plates.
Carefully loosen the locking cap 3 and adjusting screw 4 until the
upper cutter plate 2 is no longer pressing against the lower cutter
plate 1 (the sound of the motor becomes noticeably higher-pitched),
see Fig. A.
Screw in the adjusting screw 4 until you feel slight resistance. From
this point, keep turning approximately one full sun and then tightened
the locking cap 3.
Cleaning the cutter head
The cutter head must be cleaned at least after each day of clipping
time or if it gets dirty.
Unlocking and removing the lithium ion battery 39.
Remove both screws 6, see Fig. B.
Then turn the cutter head very slightly (about 15°) counterclockwise
and remove it from the motor shell.
Remove the cutter plates, see Changing the cutter plate.
Thoroughly clean the interior part and individual parts of the cutter
head using a brush.
Insert the cutter plate and tighten, see Changing the cutter plate.
Lubricate the gear wheel, see Lubricating the gear wheel.
Carefully place the cutter head on the motor. When re-attaching the
cutter head, ensure that it is turned 15° counterclockwise in such a
way that its lower flange engages with the groove of the motor
housing.
Lubricate the cutter head, see Lubricating the cutter head.
Cleaning the air filter
Clean the airfilter 37/38 at least once per day or if it gets dirty.
Remove the airfilter 37/38 from the battery-operated clipping
machine, see Fig. G.
Thoroughly clean the airfilter 37/38 in warm water with a brush.
Leave the airfilter 37/38 to dry.
Clean the battery-operated clipping machine.
Place the airfilter 37/38 on the battery-operated clipping machine.
Re-sharpen the cutter plates.
In order to re-sharpen the cutter plates, contact Technical Service, see
Technical Service.
4.6 Storage
Clean the clipping machine and cutter plates thoroughly before
