4.4 RAISING/ LOWERING TO CUT.
The machine raises and lowers using a gas shock absorber. This is activated by the lever located on the handle
bar.
RAISING THE MACHINE UP
1.
Press the lever down all the way with your
thumb.
2.
Press the handle bar down at the same time to
raise the cutting head.
3.
When the desired height is reached release the
shock absorber lever and stop pushing down on
the handle bar..
LOWERING TO CUT.
1.
Press the lever gently with your thumb to gauge the downward movement of the machine. Once the lever is
fully depressed you should assume the weight of the machine and guide it down smoothly so that the
machine is not ´dropped ´and damaged.
2.
To stop the raising and/or lowering process release the shock absorber lever.
ADVISE: Practice this a few times before you try to use the machine with a blade.
IMPORTANT: When a blade is mounted the lowering of the machine should be very smooth
until the blade contacts with the surface, once the blade is cutting the machine can be
lowered as normal.
4.5 FITTING THE BLADE
You will always get better results by using the most appropriate blade for the surface you are cutting. The
blades are cooled by water. The cooling s ystem guarantees the correct flow for the cooling of the disc.
Installing the blade.
1.
Please remove blade protection.
2.
Lose the screw that holds the blade protection in place. The nut loosens in the same direction as the
movement of the blade.
3.
Remove the screw and the exterior flange and fit the blade against the inside flange.
4.
Reassemble the exterior flange and the security device in order to avoid any skid.
5.
Fit the screw with both supply keys.
6.
Replace disc protector in its place and tighten the screws.
• The screw loosens in the same direction as the direction of the blade.
• Never start or use the machine without the blade protector fitted.
• Make sure that the blade cutting direction is correct. Match the arrow on the blade and the arrow on
the blade protector and make sure they are pointing the same way.
• Make sure that the blade is flush on the flange before tightening the screw.
