• The grass must be cut in alternating lateral movements, whereby the movement from right to left
is the thinning action and the movement from left to right is the return stroke. The cut is made
with the left side of the disc, as shown in fig. 23.
• If the disc is tilted to the left during the thinning action, the grass falls along a line and can be
collected more easily, for example, with a rake.
• Try to move forward with an even rhythm. Stand firm with your legs slightly apart. Move forward at
the end of the return stroke and stand firm again.
• Allow the support cup to just touch the ground, so that the disc does not touch the ground.
• To reduce the risk of material becoming entangled around the disc, the following instructions
should be followed:
• Always cut with the engine at full speed.
• Avoid previously cut material during the return stroke.
• Stop the engine, release the harness and place the machine on the ground before starting to
collect the cut material.
11 TRANSPORT
• Stop the engine and wait for it to cool down.
• Fit the disc cover (Fig. 3.A).
• Hold the machine by the handles only and point the cutting device in the opposite direction to the
direction of travel. (Fig. 3).
