Correct height
Adjust the harness so that the cutting at-
tachment is parallel to the ground.
Correct balance
Let the cutting attachment rest lightly on the
ground. If you use a saw blade, it should bal-
ance about 4 inches (10 cm) above the
ground to prevent contact with stones and
the like. Adjust the position of the harness
clamp to balance the unit correctly.

WARNING:
When fitting blades,
it is extremely important that the
raised section on the retaining wash-
er engages correctly in the centre
hole of the blade. If the blade is fitted
incorrectly, it can result in serious
and/or fatal personal injury.
WARNING:
Never use a cutting
attachment without an approved
guard. See the section on Technic-
al data. If an incorrect or faulty
guard is fitted this can cause seri-
ous personal injury.

ASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT!
If a saw blade or grass blade is to be used,
the machine must be equipped with the cor-
rect handlebar, blade guard and harness.
Fitting a blade guard, grass
blade and grass cutter
S Hook the blade guard/combination guard
(A) onto the fitting on the shaft and secure
with the bolt.
CAUTION! Use the recommended blade
guard. See the Technical data section.
S Fit the drive disc (B) on the output shaft.
S Turn the blade shaft until one of the
holes in the drive disc aligns with the
corresponding hole in the gear housing.
S Insert the locking pin (C) in the hole to
lock the shaft.
S Place the blade (D), support cup (E) and
support flange (F) on the output shaft.
S Fit the nut (G). The nut must be tight-
ened to a torque of 35- -50 Nm (3.5- -5
kpm). Use the socket spanner in the tool
kit. Hold the shaft of the spanner as
close to the blade guard as possible.
To tighten the nut, turn the spanner in the
opposite direction to the direction of rota-
tion (CAUTION! left- -hand thread).
