SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cutting equipment
This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
•Reduce the risk of kickback.
•Obtain maximum cutting performance.
•Extend the life of cutting equipment.
General rules
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
2 Maintain the correct blade setting! Follow our instructions
and use the recommended blade setting tool. An
incorrectly set blade increases the risk of jamming and
kickback.
Sharpening grass cutters and grass
blades
See the cutting attachment packaging for correct
sharpening instructions. Sharpen blades and cutters
using a single-cut flat file.
•Sharpen all edges equally to maintain blade balance.
ARNING! Always discard a blade that is
bent, twisted, cracked, broken or damaged
!
in any other way. Never attempt to straighten
a twisted blade so that it can be reused. Only
use original blades of the specified type.
3 Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.
ARNING! Using an incorrect cutting
attachment or an incorrectly sharpened
!
blade increases the risk of kickback.
ARNING! Avoid cutting with the area of the
blade between the 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock
!
positions. Because of the speed of rotation
of the blade kickback can occur if you
attempt to cut thick stems with this area of
the blade.
General working instructions
Always carry out clearing and trimming at full throttle.
•Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working
operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on
the engine (i.e. without the resistance that the cutting
attachment exerts on the engine when you are using the
machine) can lead to serious engine damage.
erms
Brush cutting is a general term for clearing grass. Grass
blades and grass cutters are used for this purpose.
•Grass trimming is a general term for light clearing, e.g.
around edges or around trees. A trimmer head or plastic
blades are used.
ARNING! Sometimes branches or grass
get caught between the guard and cutting
!
attachment. Always stop the engine before
cleaning.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Grass clearing using a grass blade
Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on
woody stems.
•A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse grass.
•The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging
movement, where the movement from right-to-left is the
clearing stroke and the movement from left-to-right is the
return stroke. Let the left-hand side of the blade (between
8 and 12 o’clock) do the cutting.
•
W
W
•If the blade is angled to the left when clearing grass, the
grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier to collect,
e.g. by raking.
•Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet apart.
Move forward after the return stroke and stand firmly
again.
•Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It is
used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.
•Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by
following these instructions:
1 Always work at full throttle.
2 Avoid the previously cut material during the return
stroke.
•Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the
machine on the ground before you start to collect the cut
material.
ARNING! Neither the operator of the
machine nor anyone else may attempt to
!
remove the cut material while the engine is
running or the cutting equipment is rotating,
as this can result in serious injury.
Stop the engine and cutting equipment
before you remove material that has wound
around the blade shaft as otherwise there is
a risk of injury.
ARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.
Always wear approved eye protection. Never
!
lean over the cutting attachment guard.
Stones, rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into
the eyes causing blindness or serious injury.
Keep unauthorised persons at a distance.
Children, animals, onlookers and helpers
should be kept outside the safety zone of 15
m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone
approaches.

Fitting the J-handle
ARNING! Only grass blades/grass cutters
or trimmer heads/plastic blades may be used
!
when the J-handle is fitted. Saw blades must
never be used with the J-handle.
Clip the loop handle onto the shaft. Note that the loop
handle must be fitted between the arrows on the shaft.
Slide the spacer into the slot in the loop handle.
•Fit the nut, knob and screw. Do not overtighten.
•Attach the J-handle to the loop handle using the three
screws, as shown.
Assembling the cutting equipment
ARNING!
When fitting the cutting attachment it is
!
extremely important that the raised section
on the drive disc/support flange engages
correctly in the centre hole of the cutting
attachment. If the cutting attachment is fitted
incorrectly it can result in serious and/or
fatal personal injury.
ARNING! Never use a cutting attachment
without an approved guard. See the chapter
!
on Technical data. If an incorrect or faulty
guard is fitted this can cause serious
personal injury.
•Now adjust the trimmer to give a comfortable working
position. Tighten the bolt/knob.
Adjusting the harness
Put on the harness and hang the machine from the support
hook. Now make a final adjustment so that the machine is in
a comfortable working position when it hangs from the
harness.
Fitting the guard extension
UTION! The guard extension shall always be fitted when
using the trimmer head/plastic blades and combination
guard. The guard extension shall always be removed when
using the grass blade and combination guard.
Enter the guard extension guide in the slot of the combination
guard. Then click the guard extension into position on the
guard with the four quick-fasteners.
The guard extension is removed easily using the spark plug
spanner, see illustration.

Hook the guard onto the fitting on the shaft and secure it
with the bolt. CAUTION! Ensure that the guard extension
is removed.
Use the recommended blade guard. See the Technical
data section.
•Fit the drive disc (B) on the output shaft.
•Turn the blade shaft until one of the holes in the drive disc
aligns with the corresponding hole in the gear housing.
•Insert the locking pin (C) in the hole to lock the shaft.
•Place the blade (D), support cup (E) and support flange
(F) on the output shaft.
•Fit the nut (G). The nut must be tightened 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 rotation (Caution!
left-hand thread).

Check before starting
or safety reasons follow these recommendations!
•Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed at
the bottom of the teeth or by the centre hole. The most
common reason why cracks are formed is that sharp
corners have been formed at the bottom of the teeth while
sharpening or that the blade has been used with dull
teeth. Discard a blade if cracks are found.
•Check that the support flange is not cracked due to fatigue
or due to being tightened too much. Discard the support
flange if it is cracked.
•Ensure the locking nut has not lost its captive force. The
nut lock should have a locking force of at least 1.5 Nm.
The tightening torque of the locking nut should be 35-50
Nm.
