Angle Gear - Husqvarna R135 Workshop Manual

5
The angle gear has two purposes:
The fi rst is to gear down the engine's high speed to better suit the lower speed a saw blade or trimmer re-
quires to work effi ciently.
Secondly, the angle gear contributes towards the operator's working stance so that it is comfortable and
at the same time effi cient. In other words, the power from the engine via the drive axle should be angled so
that the cutting tool works parallel with the ground.
