ASSEMBLY

Fitting the hand guard and loop 
handle

(326HDA55/326HE3)

1

Assemble the hand guard and loop handle by screwing 
them together. Take care to align the holes in both parts.

2

Slide the loop handle and hand guard onto the shaft.

3

Slide the spacer into the slot in the loop handle.

4

Fit the nut and screw. Do not overtighten.

5

Now make a final adjustment to give yourself a 
comfortable working position. Tighten the screw. 
CAUTION! The loop handle and hand guard must not be 
fitted behind the arrow marked on the shaft.

Fitting the handle

(326HE3, 326HE4)

Fit the handle using two screws.

Fitting the cutting head

It is important that the hedge trimmer is laid on a flat surface 
when you fit the cutting head. Otherwise the cutting head may 
not be fitted straight.

1

Fit the cutting head to the shaft. CAUTION! Make sure the 
drive shaft inside the shaft engages with the recess in the 
cutting head.

2

Tighten the lower screw first, then the upper screw.

Adjusting the harness

(326HE4)

You should always use the harness with the machine to give 
maximum control over the machine and reduce the risk of 
fatigue in your arms and back.

1

Put on the harness.

2

Hook the machine onto the harness support hook.

3

Adjust the length of the harness so that the support hook 
is roughly level with your right hip.

Fitting the impact guard

(326HE4)

Fit the guard using the three screws and washers. Fit the two 
short screws in hole A. Tighten the screws to a torque of 4 
Nm. After the machine has been in use for around 20 hours, 
re-tighten the screws to 4 Nm.
