This machine may only be utilized for the purpose for which it was designed, i.e. to cut 18in
(45.7 cm) wide strips of turf. Make sure that all operators of this equipment are trained in
general machine use and safety.
WARNING: During operation the lawn and turf are cut into strips. Should the cutter’s wheels
skid during use it is advisable to adjust the cutting depth. If this operation does not prevent this
occurrence check the state of the terrain. If it is too dry it should be wetted so that the blade
encounters a slight resistance, thus making cutting operations easier.
