Blade Guard; Reversible Cutting Head; Connect The Cooling Water - Husqvarna K6500 II Manuel D'utilisation

Blade guard

The guard for the cutting equipment should be adjusted
so that the rear section is flush with the work piece.
Spatter and sparks from the material being cut are then
collected up by the guard and led away from the user.
The blade guard is friction locked.
• Press the ends of the guard against the work piece or
adjust the guard with the adjustment handle. The
guard must always be fitted on the machine.

Reversible cutting head

The machine is fitted with a reversible cutting head
allowing cutting close to a wall or at ground level,
restricted only by the thickness of the blade guard.
There is an increased risk for kickback when cutting with
the cutting head reversed. The cutting blade is further
away for the centre of the machine which means the
handle and the cutting blade are no longer in alignment. It
is more difficult to restrain the machine if the blade gets
jammed or stuck in its kickback danger zone. See under
the "Kickback" heading in the "Operating" section for
additional information.
Some of the machine's good ergonomic features may
also be jeopardised. Cutting with the cutting head
reversed should only occur with cuts that are not possible
in a standard manner.
• First release the two bolts and then the adjuster screw
to release the belt tension.
• Now unscrew the bolts and dismantle the belt guard.
• Disconnect the water hose and handle from the blade
guard (A). Remove the stop (B).
