Maintenance work
Replacement return springs are delivered already under tension in the
housing.
CAUTION. The spring can snap out.
A released spring can
be reinserted as in the illustration (
Make sure to note the rotation di-
rection!
)
Apply a light coat of multipurpose grease to the new return spring (
4
)
before you install it in the valve housing. Insert the return spring (
4
) and
press gently against it so that the tabs (
5
) snap into the holders. Screw
in the screw (
3
) and tighten only slightly. When attaching the rope
drum, turn it slightly until it you feel it snap into place. Mount the retain-
ing clip. Wind up the starter rope (see chapter "Replacing the starter
rope"). Do not lubricate the rope drum (
2
) or the journals!
Attach the air horn (see chapter "Replacing the starter rope"). When at-
taching the valve housing pull the recoil starter handle lightly, if neces-
sary, until the starting device engages.
8.10 Cutting attachment in the center/outer position
NOTE:
The cutting attachment is mounted at the factory for operation
in the center position (
1
). The cutting attachment can be mounted in
the outer position (
2
) to maneuver around obstacles that are very close
to the cutting line (for curbs, or brick walls). Use the outer position for
guiding the cut-off saw by hand only for the work at hand. Afterwards,
mount the cutting attachment back to the center position. A cut-off saw
with the cutting attachment in the center position has a better center of
gravity, which helps prevent early fatigue.
