Angle gear
The angle gear has two purposes:
The fi rst is to gear down the engine’s high speed to better suit the lower speed a saw blade or
trimmer requires to work effi
ciently.
Secondly, the angle gear contributes towards the operator’s working stance so that it is comfor-
table and at the same time effi
cient. In other words, the power from the engine via the drive axle
should be angled so that the cutting tool works parallel with the ground.
Remove the circlips holding the bearings
on the input respective output shafts. 4. Remove the support washers and the
dust protection washer.
5. Use a pair of circlip pliers to remove the
circlips holding the ball bearings by the
output shaft (see picture) and the input
shaft respectively.
Dismantling
1. Remove the cutting equipment and
guard.
2. Remove the screw (A) and lift off the
plate (B).
3. Loosen the screw (C) holding the bevel
gear against the shaft and remove the
bevel gear.
Dismantling
Remove the angle gear from the shaft.
Heat the entire angle gear to approx.
140°C and fi rst dismantle the input axle
and then the output axle. Heat the entire angle gear using a hot air
gun to approx. 140°C.
Knock the gear against a wooden block so
that the input axle and the bearing fall out.
Now lift out the output axle.
Wear protective gloves.
