Installation of shield
Installing blade
Wear heavy duty gloves when working with the trimmer blade.
When replacing the trimmer blade during a trimming task, ensure that the engine is switched off and that the blades
have stopped.
When turning the product over to replace the trimmer blade, ensure that the fuel tank cap is securely in place.
Do not attempt to fit the trimmer blade with one hand or without using the socket spanner. Fit the trimmer blade ac-
curately using the supplied socket spanner and tighten firmly in position.
Do not use any tools other than the provided socket spanner to tighten the blade; a pneumatic or electric tool may
tighten the blade more than necessary and cause the nut or the output shaft to break.
If worn nut and cup for blade are used, there is a danger of blade getting loose. Replace them with new one.
Failure to do so could lead to an injury or serious accident, or cause a fire.
Fix the throttle cable to the right handle (D) with the band
(short) (E).
Align the right handle (D) so the gap is approximately 200 mm.

Fit shield (A) to mounting portion of angle transmission and
tighten 4 bolts (B).

Inspect blades (A) before installation. Check for sharpness.
Dull blades increase the risk of blade kickback reac-
tions.Small cracks can develop into fractures resulting in a
piece of blade flying off during operation. Discard cracked
blades no matter how small the crack.
2.
Use a locking tool to prevent the output shaft from turning-
during blade installation.
3.
Install blade retainer (B), blade, lower blade retainer (C), cup
washer (D) and nut (E) finger tight.
