in good condition. Never use the machine if the cord
is damaged, hand it in to an authorized service
workshop for repair.
• Check that nuts and screws are tight.
Drive belt
Check the tension of the drive belt.
• For correct tensioning of the drive belt, the square nut
should be positioned opposite the marking on the belt
cover.
Tensioning the drive belt
• A new drive belt should be retightened after about one
hour's use.

dust and dirt.
• When the drive belt is to be tensioned, release the
bolts holding the cutting arm.

nut comes opposite the marking on the cover. This
automatically ensures that the belt has the correct
tension.
