To do a check of the hand guard (HA200, for gasoline
products only)
The hand guard prevents hands from coming in contact
with the moving blades, for example, if the operator
loses grip on the front handle.
1. Check that the hand guard is fitted correctly.
2. Check that the hand guard is undamaged.
To do a check of the blades
To ensure good cutting results it is important that the
contact pressure between the blades is correct.

as they will go.
2. Then turn the screws anticlockwise a 1/4 turn.
3. Lock the screws using the locking nut on the top of
the bar.

between the blades should be 0,2–0,4 mm,
