9.3 Sharpening instructions – metal cutting
blades (subject to model)
Fig. 17
(Diagram: 3-tooth brush cutting blade)
When the blades become slightly blunt, sharpen
the edges of the cutting tips with a flat file at a 30°
angle.
For the 3-tooth brush cutting blade, file the
edges from both sides; for the 4-tooth grass
cutting blade, file only from one side.
All cutting edges need to be filed back equally, if
the wear and tear is substantial, or if there are
broken-off cutting edges. It is necessary to check
for imbalance and if necessary, to make
corrections by additional filing. The sharpening
angle is 30°.
For the 3-tooth brush cutting blade, your dealer
offers a sharpening jig (part no.: 0080548) to help
with sharpening.

9.4 Gearbox lubrication

To lubricate the bevel gear drive, use SOLO
"Special gearbox grease" (part no. 008318025).
Check the grease level weekly and top up, if
required (approx. every 20 - 50 hours).

Remove the filler plug from the side of the gearbox.
If no grease is visible inside, top up with grease
(top-up quantity approx. 5 – 10 g).
Replace and tighten the filler plug.
Please note: Do not overfill with grease, as that
may lead to the gearbox overheating. Never fill the
gearbox casing to the top with grease.
Tip: If required, top up with a maximum of 5g
grease. It is preferable to check more frequently
(e.g. before you start working) whether grease is
still visible.
Your SOLO dealer workshop is happy to help you
in case of doubt.

9.5 Shutdown and storage

Clean the power tool after use.
 Never use aggressive cleaning solutions or
those containing solvents to clean any part of the
engine. Never hose down the engine. For best
results, simply wipe down the entire engine with
a dry or slightly damp cloth.
 Clean leftover cuttings off the blades using a
small brush.
 Ingrained plant remains on the blades can be
removed with the SOLO Universal Cleaner
"
(part no.: 00 83 116). Leave it to work for a short
time, then residues become soft and partially
dissolve, and can be wiped off with a cloth.
 To prevent corrosion, we recommend treating
metal cutting tools with the
and Care Oil (part no.: 00 83 163).
"
Store the device in a dry, safe location inside a
building (garage, basement, ...). There must not be
any open fires or similar nearby. Ensure that the
device cannot be used by unauthorised persons,
especially children.
If not in use for more than four weeks, drain the
fuel tank in a well ventilated location before storing.
Start the engine with an empty fuel tank and drain
the carburettor until the engine stops.
