ASSEMBLY
Checking the drive axle and flange
washers
Check that the threads on the drive shaft are undamaged.
Check that the contact surfaces of the cutting blade and
flanges are flat, run correctly on the spindle and are free from
foreign objects.
Do not use warped, notched, indented or dirty flange
washers. Do not use different dimensions of flange washers.
Fitting the cutting blade
Husqvarna cutting blades are manufactured and approved for
freehand cutting. The paper labels on each side of the blade
are there to distribute the pressure from the flange washer
and prevent the blade from slipping.
The blade is placed on the bushing between the inner flange
washer (A) and the flange washer (B). The flange washer is
turned so that it fits on the axle.
The shaft can be locked using a screwdriver, steel pin or the
like. This is slid in as far as possible. The blade is tightened
clockwise.
Tightening torque for the bolt holding the blade is: 15-25 Nm
(130-215 in.lb).
Guard for the blade
The guard must always be fitted on the machine. The guard
for the cutting equipment should be adjusted so 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.
!
WARNING! A 16 inch blade guard should
only be used on power cutters initially
equipped with a 16 inch blade guard. If a
guard obtained as a spare part is fitted on a
power cutter which is equipped with a 12 or
14 inch guard, a 16 inch blade will run too
fast. A cutting blade running at a too high
speed can break or cause serious damage.
