ASSEMBLY
Fitting the cutting head
• Fit the cutting head on the
shaft so that the screw (A)
is aligned with the hole in
the shaft as shown.
• Tighten screw A.
• Tighten screw B.
NOTE! Make sure that the
drive shaft inside the shaft
engages with the cut-out in
the cutting head.
Mounting guide bar and chain
• Unscrew the bar nut and
remove the guard.
• Fit the bar over the bar
bolt.Place the bar in its
rearmost position. Place
the chain over the drive
sprocket and in the groove
on the bar. Begin on the
top side of the bar.
• Make sure that the edges
on the cutting links are
facing forward on the top
side of the bar.
• Fit the clutch cover and
locate the chain adjuster
pin in the hole on the bar.
Check that the drive links
of the chain fit correctly on
the drive sprocket and that
the chain is in the groove
on the bar. Tighten the bar
nut finger tight.
• Tension the chain by using
the combination wrench.
Turn the chain adjuster
screw clockwise. The chain
should be tensioned until it
fits snugly on the
underside of the bar.
• The chain is correctly
tensioned when there is no
slack on the underside of the
bar, but it can still be turned
easily by hand. Hold up the
bar tip and tighten the bar
nuts with the combination
wrench.
• When fitting a new chain,
the chain tension has to be
checked frequently until the
chain is run-in. Check the
chain tension regularly. A
correctly tensioned chain
gives good cutting
performance and long
lifetime.

You should always use the
harness with the machine to
give maximum control and
reduce strain on your arms
and back.
1. Put on the harness.
2. Hook the machine onto
the hook on the harness.
3. Adjust the length of the
harness so that the hook
is roughly level with your
right hip.

the cutting head.
