ASSEMBLY

When loosening and tightening the saw blade nut, there is a risk of injury from the teeth of the saw blade.You should therefore always ensure that your hand is shielded by the blade guard when doing this. Always use a socket spanner with a shaft that is long enough to allow this. The arrow in the diagram shows the area where you should operate the socket spanner when loosening or tightening the nut.

Fitting other guards and cutting attachments

Fit the trimmer guard/combination guard (A) intended for use with the trimmer head/plastic blades. CAUTION! Ensure that the guard extension is fitted.

Hang the trimmer guard/combination guard (A) on the two hooks on the plate holder (M). Bend the guard around the shaft and tighten it with the bolt (L) on the opposite side of the shaft. Use the locking pin (C). Place the locking pin in the groove on the screw head and tighten. See diagram.

Correct height

The machine should be supported in a harness when forestry clearing so that the cutting equipment is angled slightly forwards in relation to the ground. Adjust the height using the strap on the harness for the support hook.
