• Regular stops should be made during work sessions to ensure that the tightening bolt is still
properly screwed on. This bolt was made so that it can be tightened without the use of any
tools.
• Disassemble the blade (read § 11.4.2.5.). It is important to check whether the two pins are not
worn down. The blade should also be checked to ensure that the holes at the end of the blade
did not become oval.
• If necessary, the pin plate and blade should be removed completely. Order these parts from an
authorised dealer (pin plate order code: MPA 01 121 040).
• Additionally check to make sure the screw thread of the mounting bolt is not damaged. A
damaged or dirty screw thread could give rise to inadequate tension being able to be exerted
on the blade restraint.
• Check to ensure that the blade does not exhibit any signs of bending or defects.
• Due to all the scraping into the ground, the steel alloy can wear off in some areas, making the
blade’s thickness slightly less. If the blade becomes less than 2 mm thick, then it should be
replaced to avoid breakage.
• Check whether the edge of the blade is still sharp enough. If the edge has become dull, then it
should be sharpened prior to using it again (read § 11.4.2.7. ).
Sharpening the blade
While operating the machine, the blade chops its way through the ground. All sorts of obstruc-
tions also get in the way during this process; not to mention, the blade is also susceptible to the
eroding effects of sand and dirt. As previously described, the resistance against the blade is a
crucial factor for the proper functioning of the machine. A sharp cutting edge is, therefore, es-
sential.
• Inspect the blade regularly.
• For this, switch the blade arm into transport mode. Always switch
off the machine.
• A new blade will have a sharp, frontal cutting edge (the slicing side).
The angle of the cutting edge is approximately 20°.
• Due to how the blade works, the sharp angle of the cut will become
rounded off or fatten out to a wider edge (1). If this is noticed, then
the blade must be sharpened.
• For this, disassemble the blade (read § 11.4.2.5.).
• Clamp the blade into a vice.
• The blade can be sharpened using an angel grinder.
