6 17 QUICK-RELEASE SUPPORTS

These support allows the user to swap from
one accessory to another quickly and ea-
sily.
The quick-release supports allow the user to move
the cutting device quickly and easily between two
positions, i.e.:
ENGLISH
• Normal position with the belt fully tensioned.
• Positioned 4 cm behind the normal position,
with the belt slackened, so that the cutting
device moves closer to the base of the machine.
Being as the belt tensioner is released from the
belt, the quick-release supports simplify belt and
cutting device replacement, and also make shifting
to the washing position and service positions
easier.
