the spanner in the opposite direction to the direction
of rotation (Caution! left-hand thread).
• When loosening and tightening the saw blade nut,
there is a risk of injury from the teeth of the saw blade.
You should therefore always ensure that your hand is
shielded by the blade guard when doing this. Always
use a socket spanner with a shaft that is long enough
to allow this. The arrow in the diagram shows the area
where you should operate the socket spanner when
loosening or tightening the nut.

Fitting the transport guard

Attach the transport cover on the blade as shown.
Adjusting the harness and brush
cutter
WARNING! When using a brush cutter it
!
must always be hooked securely to the
harness. Otherwise you will be unable to
control the brush cutter safely and this
can result in injury to yourself or others.
Never use a harness with a defective
quick release.
ASSEMBLY
Quick release
At the front is an easily accessible, quick release. Use this
if the engine catches fire or in any other emergency
situation that requires you to free yourself from the
machine and harness.
Spreading the load on your shoulders
A well-adjusted harness and machine makes work much
easier. Adjust the harness for the best working position.
Tension the side straps so that the weight is evenly
distributed across both shoulders.
Correct height
Adjust the shoulder strap so that the cutting attachment is
parallel to the ground.
Correct balance
Let the cutting attachment rest lightly on the ground.
Adjust the position of the suspension ring to balance the
brush cutter correctly.
