ATTACHMENT
PROTECTORS
Your brushcutter is supplied with a
guard. Install the guard on the
machine with the four screws, the
spacer [7] supplied with the Torx
wrench (The 4 screws and the
spacer are secured to the protector).
Never use the brushcutter without its debris shield. Stones or
other foreign objects thrown outward by the wheeling cutting
attachment (nylon line, cutting head or cutting blade) or
contact with the wheeling cutting attachment could cause
personal injury or property damage.
UTILIZATION WITH NYLON
LINE CUTTING HEAD
Fit the two sections [10] and [9]
and clamp them into place as
shown in the diagram. Screw the
3 screws and the washers by
using the torx wrench.
UTILIZATION WITH BLADE
Do not fit the lower section [10].
UMK435E UEET type:
While using the Honda circular
saw blade [11] (optional),
always replace the standard
protector [10] and [9] by the
special Honda protector [12],
available as an accessory.
Assembly is the same as for
the standard protector (The 4
screws and the spacer are
secured to the protector).

ASSEMBLING THE
CUTTING SYSTEM
CAUTION:
• Pay special attention when fitting
the spacer [13]. The concave side
must face the transmission [15].
NYLON LINE CUTTING HEAD
With the spacer [13] already fitted on
the transmission shaft, screw on the
nylon line cuttinghead. It is tightened
by turning counterclockwise.
Use the hexagonal wrench [14] to immobilize the transmission so
that the nylon line cutting head is properly tightened.
3-TOOTH BLADE
Place the grass-cutting disc [16]
between the spacers [13] and [17]
so that the grooves on the spacers
fit perfectly onto the shaft.
Install the stabilizer [18]. Block the
rotation of the shaft with the
hexagonal wrench [14]. Securely
tighten the locknut [19] in the
counterclockwise direction with the
appropriate wrench.
CIRCULAR SAW BLADE
(OPTIONAL ACCESSORY)
Assemble in the same way as the
3-tooth blades.
• Use of this accessory is
restricted to the UMK435E
UEET model only, and it must
be fitted together with the
special Honda protector [22].
• Install the blade in the
appropriate way. The arrow
on the blade [23] must point in
the same direction as the one
on the protector [22].
FITTING AND ADJUSTING
THE HARNESS
For operator safety and comfort,
it is important to adjust the
harness straps so they can be
worn comfortably and so that the
machine is properly balanced in
the working position.
Machines are supplied with a
double harness [24].
Put on the harness and fasten it
with the quick fastener [25].
Adjust the straps with the
buckles [26] so that the machine
hangs at hip height.
There is a quick release chest plate on the front of the
harness to ensure a high level of safety in the event of
a situation when the machine and the harness must be
released quickly.
