possible. To tighten the nut, turn 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 other guards and cutting
attachments
• Fit the trimmer guard/combination guard (A) intended
for use with the trimmer head/plastic blades. Hang the
trimmer guard/combination guard (A) on the two
hooks on the plate holder (M). Bend the guard around
the shaft and tighten it with the bolt (L) on the opposite
side of the shaft. Use the locking pin (C). Place the
locking pin in the groove on the screw head and
tighten. See diagram.
