Assembling the bearing and
guard
A
The bearing with guard can be mounted
on the inboard or outboard side of the
cast arm, depending on requirements.
Assembly on the inboard side is
recommended for freehand cutting on
account of the better balance; outboard
mounting is recommended when the
machine is mounted on a STIHL cut-off
machine cart.
For outboard mounting:
:
Secure adjustable handle (1) in
