ASSEMBLY

Assembly of the blade and trimmer head

Assembling the blade guard and clearing blade

It is extremely important that the disc drive’s/support flange’s guide engages correctly in the cutting equipment’s centre hole when assembling the cutting equipment. Cutting equipment assembled incorrectly can result in serious and/or fatal personal injury.

!WARNING!

Do not attach any blade to the unit without proper installation of all required parts. Failure to use the proper parts can cause the blade to fly off and seriously injure the operator and/or bystanders.

Under no circumstances may the cutting equipment be used without an approved guard fitted. See the chapter “Technical data”. If the wrong guard or a defective guard is fitted this can cause serious personal injury.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The machine must be equipped with the correct handlebars, blade guard and harness if either a clearing blade or grass blade are to be used.

support flange (F) on the

 

output axle.

 

• Fit the nut (G). The

 

tightening torque of the

 

nut is 35-50 Nm (3,5 - 5

 

kpm). Use the socket

 

spanner in the tool kit.

 

Hold the handle of the

 

spanner as close to the blade guard as possible. The nut is tightened when the spanner is turned against the direction of rotation (left-hand thread).

Place the blade (D) and support flange (F) on the output axle.

Fit the nut (G). The tightening torque of the nut is 35-50 Nm (3.5 - 5 kpm). Use the socket spanner in the tool kit. Hold the handle of the spanner as close to the blade guard as possible. The nut is tightened when the spanner is turned against the direction of rotation (left-hand thread).

When slacking off and tightening the saw blade nut, the hands may be injured by the blade teeth. Always hold your hand protected by the blade guard. This is facilitated by the use of a long box spanner. The illustration shows the area in which you should keep the box spanner.
