ASSEMBLY
Fitting a blade guard, grass
blade and grass cutter
S Hook the blade guard/combination guard
(A) onto the fitting on the shaft and secure
with the b olt.
CAUTION! Use the recommended blade
guard. See the Technical data section.
S Fit the drive d isc (B) on the output shaft.
S Turn the blade shaft until one of the
holes in the drive disc aligns with the
corresponding hole in the gear housing.
S Insert hex wrench (C) in the hole to lock
the shaft.
S Place the blade (D), support cup (E) and
support flange (F) on the output shaft.
S Fit the nut (G). The nut must be tight-
ened to a torque of 35--50 Nm (3.5--5
kpm). Use the socket spanner in the tool
kit. Hold the shaft of the spanner as
close to the blade guard as possible. To
tighten the nut, turn the spanner in the
opposite direction to the direction of rota-
tion (CAUTION! left--hand thread).
Fitting blades and trimmer
heads
S When fitting the cutting attachment it is
extremely important that the raised section
on the drive disc/support flange engages
correctly in the centre hole of the cutting
attachment. If the cutting attachment is
fitted incorrectly it can result in serious and/
or fatal personal injury .
W ARNING: Never use a cutting
attachment without an approved
guard. See the section on Techni-
cal data. If an incorrect or faulty
guard is fitted this can cause seri-
ous personal injury.
IM P ORTANT!
If a grass blade is to be used, the machine
must be equipped with the correct handle-
bar, blade guard and harness.
Correct balance
Let the cutting attachment rest lightly on
the ground. If you use a grass blade, it
should balance about 10 cm above the
ground to prevent contact with stones and
the like. Adjust the position of the harness
clamp to balance the unit correctly.
Correct height
Adjust the harness so that the cutting a t-
tachment is parallel to the ground.
