ASSEMBLY

Transport position, handlebar

• The handlebar can easily be turned to fit along the shaft
for easier transportation and storage.
• Loosen the knob. Turn the handlebar clockwise so that the
throttle handle rests against the engine.
• Now twist the handlebar around the shaft. Tighten the
knob.
• Fit the transport guard to the cutting attachment.

Fitting blades and trimmer heads

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.
!
IMPORTANT! If a saw blade or grass blade are to be used
the machine must be equipped with the correct handlebar,
blade guard and harness.
WARNING! 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.
