Blade Replacement; Sharpening The Line Cutting Knife; Storing The Battery - Mountfield BC 500 Li 48 Manual De Instrucciones

8.1.1 Blade sharpening/balancing
For safety reasons, sharpening and
balancing should be performed by an
Authorised Service Centre with suitable
skills and equipment for the job; without
risking any damage to the blade which
would make it unsafe when used.
Blades can be used on both sides. When
one side of the points is worn, the blade
can be turned and the other side used.
When both sides of the points are
worn, have them sharpened.

8.1.2 Blade replacement

The blade must never be repaired,
but must be replaced as soon as
signs of breaking are noted or the
sharpening limit is exceeded:
For replacement procedures, see chapter 4.3
8.1.3 Replacing the cutting line head
1. Only use wire of 2 mm in diameter and cut the
new line to the indicated length (Fig. 21.A).
2. Rotate the winding knob (Fig. 23.A) to align
the reference on the knob (Fig. 22.B) with
the reference on the head body (Fig. 22.C).
3. Insert one end of the line (Fig. 22.D) in
one of the two output holes and pass
the line through the opposite hole.
4. Align the lines that exit the two holes evenly.
5. Rotate the winding knob (Fig. 23.A)
following the direction of the arrows to
wind the line, being careful to leave about
150 mm from both holes (Fig. 23.B).
If old line is left in the head or if broken
inside it, remove it as described below:
1. press the tabs on the sides of the cutting line
head, where marked "PUSH" (Fig. 24.A), and
detach the lower part of the head (Fig. 24.B);
2. remove the line left inside;
3. replace the reel (Fig. 25.A) in its housing;
4. close the head by fastening the tabs (Fig.
25.B) in the slots (Fig. 25.C), pushing them
fully in until they click to lock the bottom
part of the head (Fig. 25.D) in place.
