ASSEMBLY

Fitting the J-handle

•Clip the loop handle onto the shaft. Note that the loop handle must be fitted between the arrows on the shaft.

•Slide the spacer into the slot in the loop handle.

•Fit the nut, knob and screw. Do not overtighten.

•Attach the J-handle to the loop handle using the three screws, as shown.

•Now adjust the trimmer to give a comfortable working position. Tighten the bolt/knob.

WARNING! Only grass blades/grass cutters

!or trimmer heads/plastic blades may be used when the J-handle is fitted. Saw blades must never be used with the J-handle.

Fitting blades and trimmer heads

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.

WARNING! Never use a cutting attachment

!without an approved guard. See the chapter on Technical data. If an incorrect or faulty guard is fitted this can cause serious personal injury.

•Fit the correct trimmer guard (A) for use with the trimmer head. Hook the guard onto the fitting on the shaft and secure it with the bolt (L).

•Fit the drive disc (B) on the output shaft.

•Turn the blade shaft until one of the holes in the drive disc aligns with the corresponding hole in the gear housing.

•Insert the locking pin (C) in the hole to lock the shaft.

•To fit the trimmer head, first separate the two halves (see diagram). Proceed as follows:

•Insert a finger into the centre hole of the cover (I) while grasping the cover with your other fingers. Using the index finger and thumb of your other hand, release the two catches (J) that engage in the cut-outs in the bottom half

(K). Pull apart the trimmer head, grasping the cover firmly.

•Place the cover (I) and the support flange (F) on the output shaft.

•Fit the nut (G). The nut must be tightened 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 rotation (Caution! left-hand thread).

•Fit the bottom half of the trimmer head (K) to the cover (I) by pressing them together, with the cut-outs on the bottom half aligned with the catches on the cover.

•To dismantle, follow the instructions in the reverse order.
