5.3 Cutter
installation
•
Position thrust piece (23) on gear shaf.
•
Rotate the gear shaft with the thrust piece, so
that the recess for retaining pin (allen
wrench)(24) is flush with the recess in winding
protection (25) or the gearbox casing.
•
Insert the retaining pin to lock the gearbox.
•
Rotate the complete nylon head (27) with the
additional line winding protection (26) on the
gear shaft against the thrust piece. Please note:
Left-hand thread! Tighten anti-clockwise against
the nylon head.
•
Push the protective bar (28) from below onto
the shield. For this, insert the hexagon nuts (29)
into the protective bar, then fit the protective bar
with the three screws (30).
Please Note:
When operating with the nylon head,
never start the engine without fitted protection bar
and line trimming blade (31).
Note:
When the nylon line length is adjusted (see
chapt. 6.3 "Adjusting the cutting line"), the line
trimmer blade (31) will trim the line automatically to
the correct length.
5.4 Shoulder strap adjustment
Before commencing work, adjust the shoulder
strap and handle according to the operator’s body
size.
Position the single shoulder strap over your l.h.
shoulder, so that, after adjusting the strap length,
the strap hook is located at your r.h. hip.
Balance the trimmer with fitted cutting tool so, that
the cutter hovers just above the ground, without
touching the suspended trimmer with your hands.
If the cutting tool hovers more than 10 cm above
the ground, secure the shoulder strap retainer
nearer to the motor.
If the cutter lies on the ground, secure the shoulder
strap retainer nearer the loop handle.
5.5 Connection to the mains supply
Always secure the extension cable on the cable
retainer (23) on the motor housing.
To isolate the equipment, always pull the mains
plug from its socket, i.e. never pull on the cable to
remove the plug.
