Cutting Attachment; General Rules; Sharpening Grass Cutters And Grass Blades - Ducati DBC 4600R Manual De Instrucciones

A locking nut is used to secure some types of
cutting attachment. When fitting, tighten the
nut in the opposite direction to the direction of
rotation of the cutting attachment. To remove
it, undo the nut in the same direction as the
cutting attachment rotates. (CAUTION! The nut
has a left‐hand thread.) Tighten the nut using
the socket spanner. The nylon lining inside
the locking nut must not be so worn that you
can turn it by hand. The lining should offer a
resistance of at least 1.5 Nm. The nut should
be replaced after it has been put on approx. 20
times.

4.8 Cutting attachment

This section describes how to choose and
maintain your cutting equipment in order to:
• Reduce the risk of blade thrust.
• Obtain maximum cutting performance.
• Extend the life of cutting equipment.
IMPORTANT. Only use cutting attachments
with the guards we recommend! Refer to
the instructions for the cutting attachment to
check the correct way to load the cord and
the correct cord diameter. Keep the teeth of
the blade correctly sharpened! Follow our
recommendations. Also refer to the instructions
on the blade packaging.
WARNING! Always stop the engine before
doing any work on the cutting attachment. This
continues to rotate even after the throttle has
been released. Ensure that the cutting
attachment has stopped completely and
disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug
before you start to work on it. Using an
incorrect cutting attachment or an incorrectly
sharpened blade increases the risk of blade
thrust.
