3.3 ROTOR AND CUTTING BLADE ADJUSTMENT
Your new machine is set up and adjusted from the manufacturer. To ensure the proper
functionality and durability please pay attention to the following instructions:
1. The cutting blade is adjusted to the rotor using the two handling wheels positioned on
the back of the machine.
2. Rotating the wheels to the right moves the blade to the rotor making the gap between
the blade and rotor smaller. Always turn the wheels not more than ¼ of the circle. Pay
close attention during the process.
3. You can test the optimal position with piece of paper. Insert the paper between the
rotor and cutting blade. Turn the rotor carefully. If the paper is cut, turn the handling
wheel by ¼ turn to the left and leave it in this position.
4. The cutting blade has to be adjusted from both ends using the two handling wheels –
see picture from the back of the trimmer where the two handling wheels are positioned.
Always remove the top cover in order to adjust the cutting blade!
Always make sure the rotor and cutting blade are not in collision with each other.
