• Check that the contact surfaces on the blade and the
flange washers are undamaged, of the correct dimension,
clean, and that they run properly on the drive axle.
• Do not use warped, notched, indented or dirty flange
washers. Do not use different dimensions of flange
washers.

Fitting the cutting blade

• Husqvarna's blades are approved for hand-held power
cutters.
• Bushings can be fitted on the machine axle to adjust the
machine to the centre hole of the blade. Use a bushing
with the correct diameter! The blades are marked with the
diameter of the centre hole.
• When a diamond blade is mounted on the power cutter
make sure that the diamond blade will rotate in the
direction indicated by the arrow on the blade.
• The blade is placed on the bushing (A) between the inner
flange washer (B) and the flange washer (C). The flange
washer is turned so that it fits on the axle.

Guard for the blade

that the rear section is flush with the work piece. Spatter
and sparks from the material being cut are then collected
up by the guard and led away from the user. The guard
must always be fitted on the machine.
