when assembling, use the
blade guard as protection
when tightening with a socket
spanner. Tighten the nut by
turning against the direction
of rotation. Loosen the nut
by turning in the direction of
rotation. (NOTE! the nut has
a left-hand thread).
• Tighten the nut using a
socket spanner, 35 - 50 Nm

WARNING!
Always stop the engine before starting work
on any part of the cutting equipment. This
continues to rotate even after the throttle has
been released. Ensure that the cutting equip-
ment has stopped completely and remove the
cable from the spark plug before you start to
work on it.
WARNING!
Never use a machine with defective safety
equipment. The safety equipment should
be maintained as described in this section.
If your machine does not meet any of these
controls you should contact your service
workshop.
