Assembling and fitting the safety guard
1. Place the safety guard on the
lower shaft, ensuring that the
four screws in the safety guard
align with the holes in the lower
shaft.
2. Fix the screws in place with the
supplied screwdriver.
3. Align the tabs on the safety guard
with the slots on the underside of the
safety guard and clip them securely
into place. Ensure the knife edge
faces inward.
NOTE:
The knife edge on the underside
of the safety guard automatically
cuts the line to the optimum
length. The knife edge can be
left fitted when using the brush cutter blade.
4. Remove the knife edge cover before you start
working and replace it when you have finished
working.
Fitting the brush cutter blade
1. Unscrew the nut on the spindle,
in a clockwise direction (left handed
thread).
2. Remove the nut, the pressure plate
cover and the pressure plate.
Ensure the carrier plate remains
fitted.
3. Place the cutting blade onto the
carrier plate, ensuring that the hole
in the blade is correctly seated over
the central disc of the plate. Also
ensure that the direction of rotation
arrows on the blade match the arrow
on the blade guard.
4. Place the pressure plate on the
shaft, followed by the pressure plate cover and the nut.
5. Before tightening the nut, align the
hole in the inner flange with the hole
in the carrier plate and insert the
hex key. While holding the hex key
in place, screw on the nut, turning
counter clockwise (The nut has a
left-hand thread). Remove the hex
key
2. SAFETY GUARD & BLADE & LINE
Fitting the line spool
1. Unscrew the nut on the spindle,
in a clockwise direction (left hand
thread).
2. Remove the nut, the pressure
plate cover and the pressure
plate. If the cutting blade has been
installed previously, remove that
also.
Ensure the carrier plate remains
fitted as this provides the ability
to lock the spindle from turning to
later remove the line spool.
3. Align the hole in the inner flange with
the hole in the carrier plate and insert
the hex key. While holding the hex key,
screw the spool set onto shaft, turning
counter clockwise until tight. Remove
the hex key.
To dismantle, proceed in reverse order.
IMPORTANT!
THE SAFETY GUARD MUST BE FITTED
BEFORE USE.
WARNING!
DO NOT USE ANY KIND OF METAL
WIRE OR METAL WIRE ENCASED IN PLASTIC IN
THE LINE SPOOL. THIS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURIES TO THE USER.
