fitting on the shaft and secure with the bolt (L). Use the
recommended blade guard. See the Technical data

• Fit the drive disc (B) on the output shaft.
• Turn the output shaft until one of the holes in the drive
disc aligns with the corresponding hole in the gear
housing.
• Insert the locking pin (C) in the hole to lock the shaft.
• Place the blade (D), support flange (E) and support
