(42) Adjust the cutting settings according to the crop that you are planning to harvest with the machine.
See Managing the operating settings.
The cutting settings must be set when the machine is shut down.
(43) To start the machine, pull the cord. It is a "dead man" safety control device:
• The machine will operate while the cord is held taut.
• When the cord is released, even accidentally, the machine shuts down completely.
(44) You can spread the produce of the harvest by hand in the harvest bag without letting go of the cord with the other hand.
Do not bypass this safety mechanism by blocking the cord: both hands of the user must hold the cord taut.
Empty or full harvesting crates must be laid out beside the path of the harvester.
Do not touch the hazardous parts, i.e. moving parts, hot areas (speed reducer, flexible shaft, combi-drill).
Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
END OF HARVEST
(45) When the harvest bag is full, let go of the cord: this will stop the machine, so that you can empty the full bag.

Before starting the machine, make sure that nobody is near the machine (see 35).
NORMAL START
JAMMING
An incorrect setting of the cutting parameters or harvesting conditions can result in a jam at the cutter bar.
To prevent this problem, the machine has a safety CUT OFF that reduces the torque of the cutter bar, thereby preventing any damage to
the mechanical parts in case of a blockage.
To clean out the machine, carefully carry out the following steps:
(46) Stop the machine immediately by letting go of the cord;
(47) Analyse the situation to find out the cause of the jam,
(48) Wear protective equipment such as cut resistant gloves to clear any goods that have become stuck.
It is important not to put your fingers in the cutting blades to avoid any risk of getting cut or even severing fingers.
