SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6. Cutting equipment
The section describes how through
correct maintenance
and
through
using the right type of cutting equipment
you can:
• Obtain maximum
clearing capacity.
• Increase the service life of the cutting equipment.
Two
basic
rules:
1) Only use the cutting
and guard equipment
we recommend!
See
chapter
"Technical
data".
2) Check the cutting
equipment
with regard
to damage and crack
formation.
Damaged
cutting equipment
should always be
replaced.
7. Locking
nut
• Protect your hand from
injury when assembling,
use the blade guard as
protection
when tightening
with a socket spanner.
Tighten
the nut by turning
against the direction
of
rotation.
Loosen the nut by
turning
in the direction
of
rotation.
(NOTE!
the nut
has a left-hand thread).
• Tighten
the nut using a
socket spanner, 35 - 50
Nm (3.5 - 5 kpm).
NOTE!
The locking nut's nylon lock must not be so worn that it can
be turned
by hand. The lock shall hold at least 1.5 Nm. The
nut should be replaced after it has been put on approx.
10
times.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The section describes how through correct
maintenance
and through using the right type of
cutting equipment you can obtain maximum
clearing capacity and increase the service life of
the cutting equipment.
•
Only use the cutting and guard equipment we
recommend! See chapter "Technical data".
Trimmer head
Only use a trimmer head
and trimmer cord that is
recommended.
These
have been tested by the
manufacturer
to suit a
particular engine size.
This is especially
important
when a fully
automatic
trimmer head
is used. Only use the
cutting equipment
we
recommend!
See chapter
"Technical data ".
Generally
smaller machines require a small trimmer head
and vice versa. This is because when clearing using a cord
the engine must throw out the cord radially from the
trimmer head and also meet resistance from the grass being
cleared.
The length of the cord is also important.
A longer cord
requires greater engine power than a shorter cord of the
same diameter.
Make sure the knife positioned
on the trimmer guard is
intact. This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.
To
increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in water for
a few days. This will make the line tougher
and it will keep
longer.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly
and evenly around the drum, otherwise harmful
vibrations will occur.
