Safety Instructions

6. Cutting equipment

The two basic rules:

1. Only use the cutting equip- ment we recommend! See chapter “Technical data”.

2.Check the cutting equip- ment with regard to dam- age and crack formation. Damaged cutting equip- ment should always be replaced.

!WARNING!

Always stop the engine before starting work on any part of the cutting equipment. This continues to rotate even after the throttle has been released. Ensure that the cutting equip- ment has stopped completely and remove the cable from the spark plug before you start to work on it.

7. Locking nut

• Protect your hand from injury when assembling, use the blade guard as protection when tightening with a socket spanner. Tighten the nut by turning against the direction of rotation. Loosen the nut by turning in the direction of rotation. (NOTE! the nut has a left-hand thread).

•Tighten the nut using a socket spanner, 35 - 50 Nm (3.5 - 5 kpm).

NOTE!

The locking nutʼs nylon lock must not be so worn that it can be turned by hand. The lock shall hold at least 1.5 Nm. The nut should be replaced after it has been put on approx. 10 times.

!WARNING!

Never use a machine with defective safety equipment. The safety equipment should be maintained as described in this section. If your machine does not meet any of these controls you should contact your service workshop.
