Installing the line blade and cutter guard

On the basis of legal accident preven-
tion regulations, the cutter guard in-
cluded in the scope of delivery (and no
other cutter guard) must be installed!
To ensure your personal protection, the
brushcutter is not allowed to be put into
operation without the cutter guard un-
der no circumstances whatsoever!
Caution: The enclosed blade, which is fastened
to the cutter guard in order to adjust the lines of
the 2-line trimmer head, is sharp!
The tools you will require are the Phillips screwdriver and the
medium-sized Allen key.

Fastening the line blade to the cutter guard

If the brushcutter is to be used with the -line trimmer head,
the line blade must be fastened to the cutter guard so that it
can cut the line automatically to the same length during the
readjustment operation.
1 Use the enclosed Phillips screwdriver to fasten the line
blade (1), as shown in the illustration, to the protective
strip (2).
 Lay the cutter guard (3) down on the top side.
3 Bend the protective strip slightly with the line blade on the
inside and insert into the mounts on the bottom edge of the
cutter guard until the snap-fit closures snap into place on
both sides.

Installing the cutter guard

To install the cutter guard, lay down the brushcutter so that it is
resting on its handle in stable position.
1 Insert the four nuts (1) from the side into the provided cut-
outs (2) in the mount (3).
 Place the cutter guard (4) on the mount so that the fastening
holes (5) in the cutter guard line up with the nuts.
3 Use four screws (6) (do not forget the washers (7)) to fasten
the cutter guard.

Installing the cutting tool

Use only the cutting tools included in the scope
of delivery!
Installing other cutting tools can result in an
increased risk of accidents and damage to the
machine and is therefore not permitted!
Before installing the cutting tool, you must install
the cutter guard first (see previous section).
The brushcutter can be operated using two different cutting tools:
either with the 4-tooth star blade in order to cut thick material,
such as weeds, high grass etc.; or with the 2-line trimmer head
in order to cut remaining grass along walls, fences lawn edges,
trees, posts, etc.
