fatigue or due to being tightened too much. Discard the
support flange if it is cracked.

nut lock should have a locking force of at least 1.5 Nm.
The tightening torque of the locking nut should be 35-50
Nm.

damaged or cracked. Replace the trimmer head or
trimmer guard if they have been exposed to impact or are
cracked.

defective guard.

you start the machine.
