Assembly - Husqvarna K3000 Cut-n-Break Operator's Manual

Assembly

WARNING! Always pull out the plug from the
!
outlet socket before cleaning, maintenance
or assembly.
Assembling the blades
• Husqvarna blades are especially manufactured and
approved for freehand cutting with the K3000 Cut-n-
Break. The blades have integrated belt pulley halves and
are to be changed in pairs.
• Loosen the nuts and clamping bolt which release the bar.
This will position the drive belt in a more favourable
position with regard to assembling the new blades. The
drive belt is not clamped so easily.
• Dismantle the old blades by loosening the centre nut.
Check the drive belt for wear when the blades are
dismantled. When changing the drive belt see the
instructions under the heading "Replacing the drive belt".
• Position the blades on each side of the cutting arm. Make
sure that the holes for both guide pins in the drive belt
halves are aligned so that they correspond with the holes
in the washer, and the nut too. Now fit the bolt and washer
unit with guide pins.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE!
It is very important that the blades rotate when the nut is
tightened. This is to ensure that the belt is not clamped
between the integrated drive belt halves on the blades when
the blades/drive belt are pulled together with the nut. Ideally
this is done alternately, i.e. tighten a little, rotate a little and
repeat until the blades are secured.
IMPORTANT! Do not forget to tighten the belt and check the
belt adjustment before cutting. See the instructions under
the heading "Inspecting and adjusting the drive belt".
Protection for the blades
• The guards should always be fitted on the machine.
Check that the guards are properly secured and work
before starting to cut.
