Preparing for use
ENGLISH

The power tool is delivered for operation of the cutting disc in the centre position by default. Generally, the
power tool is more balanced in the centre position, because the weight is distributed symmetrically to the
centre axis and the cut therefore is easier to guide.
If obstacles are very close to the cutting course, it may be required to install the cutting device in the outer
position so that the cutting disc is located farther towards the outside.
When working with the cutting disc in the outer position, observe the asymmetric weight distribution!
If possible, work in the centre position.
Conversion from centre to outer position
Preparation
•
Put the power tool on a level underground.
•
Uninstall the cutting disc:
è
Chap. 5.3, page 17
•
Uninstall the water supply line (30):
Screw off the attachment screw (a) of the water
supply line on the right and left sides of the
protective cowl (2).
Remove both adapter pieces (b) including the
line from the protective cowl. Put down adapter
pieces including line so that the line does not
interfere with the following work steps and is not
clamped.
•
Uninstall handle for protective cowl
adjustment (3). Loosen both attachment
screws (c) of the handle for protective cowl
adjustment and remove the handle.
•
Loosen both attachment nuts (d) of the ribbed
belt cover (14).
•
Turn ribbed belt tension screw (13) towards the
left, e.g. counter-clockwise, to reduce the ribbed
belt tension.
Turn until the square nut (e) has been moved
towards the mark "−" (f) as far as possible. When
installing the cutting device in the centre position
(cf. figure), the square nut is all the way to the
left; in case of installation in the outer position, it
is located all the way to the right.
•
Remove both attachment nuts (d) entirely.
•
Remove the ribbed belt cover (14).
Remove protective cowl (2)
•
Carefully move the protective cowl towards the
motor unit. The screws (g) of the assembly
flange (j) are moved within the oblong holes.
•
Once the protective cowl has been moved
towards the motor unit until the ribbed belt
support (i) can be pulled through the ribbed
belt (h), remove the protective cowl. Observe that
the ribbed belt is not damaged by this.
