AST-210,AST-5000 Owner’s Manual

When using a trimmer head (2) with two-piece type blade guard, attach the guard extension to the blade guard. (Fig. 1-7)

Then locate the guard above the angle transmission. (Fig. 1-7B)

NOTE!

If your unit has guard location label on drive shaft tube, follow the indication.

NOTE!

To remove the guard extension, refer to the drawings. Wear gloves as the extension has a sharp line limiter, then push the four square tabs on the guard one by one in order. (Fig. 1 -7C)

Other blade guards

When using a trimmer head locate the guard 20 mm (1/4 in.) or 120mm (5 in.)above the gear case.

When using a blade, mount the guard against the gear case. (Fig. 1 -8, 8B)

Installation of cutting equipment (Fig.1-9)

When installing a cutting blade, make sure that there is no cracks or any damage in it and that the cutting edges are facing the correct direction.

NOTE! When installing cutter holder cap (1), be sure to set concave side upward.

Insert the allen wrench (2) into the hole of the angle transmission in order to lock the cutler holder (3). Please note that the cutter fixing bolt (4) has left handed threads, (clockwise to loosen/counter-clockwise to tighten). Tighten the fixing bolt with the box wrench.

CAUTION! Before operation, make sure the blade has been properly installed.

CAUTION! If your unit is equipped with protection cover under a cutting blade, check it for weariness or cracks before operation. If any damage or weariness is found, replace it, as it is an article of consumption.
