For mowing unobstructed edges of meadows
(without posts, fences, trees or similar obsta‐

It is important to follow the maintenance instruc‐
tions for the Polycut mowing head.
Check the wear limit marks!
Wear limit marks are integrated in the base of
the PolyCut.
Do not continue using the PolyCut 6-3 if one of
the circular holes (1; arrow) becomes visible or if
the projecting rim (2; arrow) has worn away.
Install a new mowing head.
WARNING
If the wear limit marks are ignored, there is a risk
of the cutting tool shattering and flying parts
injuring the operator or bystanders.
To reduce the risk of accidents from shattered
blades, avoid contact with stones, metal and sim‐
ilar solid objects.
Check PolyCut blades for cracks at regular inter‐
vals. If a crack is found in one of the blades,
always replace all the blades.
