ASSEMBLY
16 – English
Fitting the cutting head
•
Fit the cutting head on the shaft so that the screw (A)
is aligned with the hole in the shaft as shown.
•
Tighten screw A.
•
Tighten screw B.
CAUTION! Make sure that the drive shaft inside the shaft
engages with the cut-out in the cutting head.
Fitting the bar and chain
•
Unscrew the bar nut and remove the protective cover.
•
Fit the bar over the bar bolt. Place the bar in its
rearmost position. Place the chain over the drive
sprocket and in the groove on the bar. Begin on the
top side of the bar.
•
Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are
facing forward on the top edge of the bar.
•
Fit the cover and locate the chain adjuster pin (A) in
the hole in the bar. Check that the drive links of the
chain fit correctly on the drive sprocket (B) and that
the chain is in the groove in the bar (C). Tighten the
bar nut finger-tight.
•
Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning
screw clockwise using the combination spanner. The
chain should be tensioned until it does not sag from
the underside of the bar.
•
The chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag
from the underside of the bar, but can still be turned
easily by hand. Hold up the bar tip and tighten the bar
nuts with the combination spanner.
•
When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be
checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the
chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain
ensures good cutting performance and long life.
Fitting the suspension ring
Fit the suspension ring between the rear handle and the
loop handle. Position the hanging ring so that the machine
is balanced and comfortable to work with.
Adjusting the harness
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.
•
Put on the harness.
•
Hook the machine onto the harness support hook.
•
Adjust the length of the harness so that the support
hook is roughly level with your right hip.
