IMPORTANT! If a saw blade or grass blade are to be
used the machine must be equipped with the correct

engages correctly in the centre hole of
the cutting attachment. If the cutting
attachment is fitted incorrectly it can
result in serious and/or fatal personal
injury.
WARNING! Never use a cutting
attachment without an approved guard.
See the chapter on Technical data. If an
incorrect or faulty guard is fitted this can
cause serious personal injury.
