Maintaining And Sharpening The Blade; Installing The Attachment - IKRA Mogatec Gardol GMTI 33 Operating Instructions Manual

- the protective devices are fitted tightly and provide ad-
equate protection
- the handgrips are properly secured
• Possible applications
- The branches being cut must not be more than 5mm
thick; using the hedge cutter attachment to chop
through thicker branches may cause irreparable dam-
age to the attachment.
- The cutting angle may ONLY be adjusted when the mo-
tor is switched off. The motor must also be SWITCHED
OFF before removing branches or foliage stuck in the
attachment.
- Always hold the cutting unit away from the body during
operation.
- When the unit is stopped, always fit the guard.
• Adjusting the angle of the blade
- Switch off the motor and wait until the blade comes
to a stop.
- Firmly hold the grip (1) and then, holding the rod (3)
with the other hand, push the unlocking lever (2) and
move the grip (1) to change the angle of the blade (4).
- When the lever (2) is released again, the blade stays
locked in the desired position.
Lubricating the blade during use
If the cutting unit gets too hot during operation, the internal
faces of the blade must be lubricated using a specific oil.
Please note: This procedure may only be car-
ried out when the motor is switched off and the
blade has come to a stop.
Blade drive housing
- Lubricate at intervals of 20 hours via the lubricating
nipple.
- Use lithium-based lubricating grease for high tempera-
tures and pressure values to lubricate your machine.

Maintaining and sharpening the blade

Please note: Check regularly to ensure that the
blades are not warped or damaged and that the
blade bed is in good condition.
The blade spacing does not have to be set, this tolerance
is pre-set in the factory.
If the blades are used in accordance with the instructions,
no maintenance or sharpening is required.
Re-sharpening is only necessary if the cutting perfor-
mance deteriorates and branches often become entan-
gled.
Important: Should it be required, any work on the blade
must be carried out by a specialised centre, which has
specialised equipment at its disposal and is in a position
to perform the necessary work without negatively affect-
ing the safety of the machine.

Installing the attachment

Undo the wing screw (4) on the coupling sleeve, pull out
the knob (1) and push the drive axle (2) into the connec-
tor by gently turning it back and forth. The locking knob
(1) must engage fully into its hole (3). Tighten the wing
screw (4).
