cutting attachment in  

 

 

 

central / side position

NOTE:

 The Fast-Cut is delivered with the cutting attachment 

mounted in the middle position (

1

). For cutting up against ob-

stacles, such as curbs or walls, the cutting attachment can be 

mounted to one side (

2

). Use this position only when actually 

necessary, and afterwards return the cutting attachment to the 

middle position
 In this position the Fast-Cut has better balance, is easier to 

guide, and is not as fatiguing for the operator.

Use the combination tool (

8

) to lever out the stop pin (

9

) as 

shown in the illustration, until the protective hood (

11

) can be 

turned.

NOTE: 

The turn stop (

7

) is deactivated when the stop pin (

8

) is 

removed. This permits the hood (

11

) to be turned farther than 

the turn stop (

7

).

Unscrew  the  grip  (

10

)  and  turn  the  protective  hood  (

11

)  as 

shown in the illustration.
Disengage  the  V-belt  (

12

)  and  remove  the  cutting  attach-

ment.

NOTE:

 The illustration shows the V-belt for models FC7312 

and FC7314).
