|
Long service intervals |
A strong Poly-V belt combined with our maintenance-free starter DuraStarter™ and efficient filter-system Active Air Filtration™ ensures long service intervals. |
|
Reduced wear |
Reduced wear thanks to the drive belt with fully sealed transmission, which keeps out the cutting dust. |
|
Anti-vibration system |
Our anti-vibration system reduces vibrations in the cutter handles, so they are more comfortable to hold and can be used for longer periods. The distance between the handles is large to enable the user a comfortable operating position and to reduce strain. The handles and the short engine body mean the user always stands close to the machine, for easier handling and control. |
