MOUNTING OF CUTTER BLADE OR NYLON CUTTING HEAD
Mounting of cutterblade
With the hex wrench still in place.
– Mount the cutter blade onto the shaft so that the guide of the receiver washer
(4) fits in the arbor hole in the cutter blade. Install the clamp washer (3), cup
(2), and secure the cutter blade with the nut (1).
[Tightening torque: 13 - 23 N-m]
NOTE: Always wear gloves when handling the cutter blade.
NOTE: The cutter blade-fastening nut (with spring washer) is a consumable
part.
If there appears any wear or deformation on the spring washer, replace
the nut.
Mounting of nylon cutting head
– The clamp washer (3), cup (2), and nut (1) are not necessary for mounting
the nylon cutting head. The nylon cutting head should go on top of the
receiver washer (4).
– Insert the hex wrench through the hole in the gear case and rotate the
receiver washer (4) until it is locked with the hex wrench.
– Then screw the nylon cutting head onto the shaft by turning it counter-
clockwise.
– Remove the hex wrench.
Rotation
– Make sure that the blade is the left way up.
