Sharpen correctly
• File only the back of the tooth (1).
• If slightly dull: Use
flat file (2) 0814 212 3310.
In case of more serious wear or
nicks: Resharpen with a grinder -
until the tips (3) of the teeth are
restored to full sharpness.
• Resharpen frequently, take away
as little material as possible - two or
three strokes of the file are usually
enough.
• Do not alter tooth profile.
Removing rewind starter
• Lay your brushculler on its back
with the gear head facing up.
• Remove the four screws (1) from
the machine support (2) and lift it
away.
• Take out the screws (3).
• Remove the starter cover (4)
together with rewind starter
mechanism.
Replacing a broken starter rope
• Take out the screw (5).
• Remove the washer (6).
• Remove the rope rotor very
carefully - the rewind spring is
seated in the starter cover and
may pop out and cause injury if
care is not taken.
