ARNING! Under no circumstances may the
design of the machine be modi
fi
ed without
the permission of the manufacturer. Always
use genuine accessories. Non-authorized
modi
fi
cations and/or accessories can result
in serious personal injury or the death of the
operator or others.
!
W
ARNING! This accessory may only be used
together with the intended trimmer, see
under heading ”Approved accessories” in
chapter Technical data in the machine's
Operator's Manual.
!
W
ARNING! Only grass blades/grass cutters
or trimmer heads/plastic blades may be used
when the J-handle is
fi
tted. Saw blades must
never be used with the J-handle.
IMPOR
TANT! The trimmer guard must be replaced with the
accompanying combination guard if a grass blade is
fi
tted
to the machine.
IMPORTANT! Wear boots with steel toe-caps and non-slip

SAFETY INSTR
UCTIONS
Cutting equipment
This section descr
ibes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
•
Reduce the risk of kickback.
•
Obtain maximum cutting performance.
•
Extend the life of cutting equipment.
General rules
1
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
2
Maintain the correct blade setting! Follow our instructions
and use the recommended blade setting tool. An
incorrectly set blade increases the risk of jamming and
kickback.
3
Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.
Sharpening grass cutter
s and grass
blades
•
See the cutting attachment packaging for correct
sharpening instructions. Sharpen blades and cutters
using a single-cut
fl
at
fi
le.
•
Sharpen all edges equally to maintain blade balance.
General w
orking instructions
•
Always carry out clearing and trimming at full throttle.
•
Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working
operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on
the engine (i.e. without the resistance that the cutting
attachment exerts on the engine when you are using the
machine) can lead to serious engine damage.
T
erms
•
Brush cutting is a general term for clearing grass. Grass
blades and grass cutters are used for this purpose.
•
Grass trimming is a general term for light clearing, e.g.
around edges or around trees. A trimmer head or plastic
blades are used.
!
W
ARNING! Using an incorrect cutting
attachment or an incorrectly sharpened
blade increases the risk of kickback.
!
W
ARNING! Avoid cutting with the area of the
blade between the 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock
positions. Because of the speed of rotation
of the blade kickback can occur if you
attempt to cut thick stems with this area of
the blade.
!
W
ARNING! Always discard a blade that is
bent, twisted, cracked, broken or damaged
in any other way. Never attempt to straighten
a twisted blade so that it can be reused. Only
use original blades of the speci
fi
ed type.
!
W
ARNING! Sometimes branches or grass
get caught between the guard and cutting
attachment. Always stop the engine before
cleaning.

SAFETY INSTR
UCTIONS
Grass c
learing using a grass blade
•
Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on
woody stems.
•
A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse grass.
•
The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging
movement, where the movement from right-to-left is the
clearing stroke and the movement from left-to-right is the
return stroke. Let the left-hand side of the blade (between
8 and 12 o’clock) do the cutting.
•
If the blade is angled to the left when clearing grass, the
grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier to collect,
e.g. by raking.
•
Try to work rhythmically. Stand
fi
rmly with your feet apart.
Move forward after the return stroke and stand
fi
rmly
again.
•
Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It is
used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.
•
Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by
following these instructions:
1
Always work at full throttle.
2
Avoid the previously cut material during the return
stroke.
•
Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the
machine on the ground before you start to collect the cut
material.
!
W
ARNING! Neither the operator of the
machine nor anyone else may attempt to
remove the cut material while the engine is
running or the cutting equipment is rotating,
as this can result in serious injury.
Stop the engine and cutting equipment
before you remove material that has wound
around the blade shaft as otherwise there is
a risk of injury.
!
W
ARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.
Always wear approved eye protection. Never
lean over the cutting attachment guard.
Stones, rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into
the eyes causing blindness or serious injury.
Keep unauthorised persons at a distance.
Children, animals, onlookers and helpers
should be kept outside the safety zone of 15
m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone
approaches.

Fitting the J-handle
•
Clip the loop handle onto the shaft. Note that the loop
handle must be
fi
tted between the arrows on the shaft.
Slide the spacer into the slot in the loop handle.
•
Fit the nut, knob and screw. Do not overtighten.
•
Attach the J-handle to the loop handle using the three
screws, as shown.
•
Now adjust the trimmer to give a comfortable working
position. Tighten the bolt/knob.
Adjusting the harness
Put on the har
ness and hang the machine from the support
hook. Now make a
fi
nal adjustment so that the machine is in
a comfortable working position when it hangs from the
harness.

Fitting the guard extension
CA
UTION!
The guard extension shall always be
fi
tted when
using the trimmer head/plastic blades and combination
guard. The guard extension shall always be removed when
using the grass blade and combination guard.
Enter the guard extension guide in the slot of the combination
guard. Then click the guard extension into position on the
guard with the four quick-fasteners.
The guard extension is removed easily using the spark plug
spanner, see illustration.
!
W
ARNING! Only grass blades/grass cutters
or trimmer heads/plastic blades may be used
when the J-handle is
fi
tted. Saw blades must
never be used with the J-handle.
!
W
ARNING!
When
fi
tting the cutting attachment it is
extremely important that the raised section
on the drive disc/support
fl
ange engages
correctly in the centre hole of the cutting
attachment. If the cutting attachment is
fi
tted
incorrectly it can result in serious and/or
fatal personal injury.
!
W
ARNING! Never use a cutting attachment
without an approved guard. See the chapter
on Technical data. If an incorrect or faulty
guard is
fi
tted this can cause serious
personal injury.

Fitting the combination guar
d, grass
blade and grass cutter
•
Hook the guard onto the
fi
tting on the shaft and secure it
with the bolt.
CAUTION!
Ensure that the guard extension
is removed.
Use the recommended blade guard. See the Technical
data section.
•
Fit the drive disc (B) on the output shaft.
•
Turn the blade shaft until one of the holes in the drive disc
aligns with the corresponding hole in the gear housing.
•
Insert the locking pin (C) in the hole to lock the shaft.
•
Place the blade (D), support cup (E) and support
fl
ange
(F) on the output shaft.
•
Fit the nut (G). The nut must be tightened to a torque of
35-50 Nm (3.5-5 kpm). Use the socket spanner in the tool
kit. Hold the shaft of the spanner as close to the blade
guard as possible. To tighten the nut, turn the spanner in
the opposite direction to the direction of rotation (Caution!
left-hand thread).

or safety reasons follow these recommendations!
•
Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed at
the bottom of the teeth or by the centre hole. The most
common reason why cracks are formed is that sharp
corners have been formed at the bottom of the teeth while
sharpening or that the blade has been used with dull
teeth. Discard a blade if cracks are found.
•
Check that the support
fl
ange is not cracked due to fatigue
or due to being tightened too much. Discard the support
fl
ange if it is cracked.
•
Ensure the locking nut has not lost its captive force. The
nut lock should have a locking force of at least 1.5 Nm.
The tightening torque of the locking nut should be 35-50
Nm.
•
Check that the blade guard is not damaged or cracked.
Replace the blade guard if it is exposed to impact or is
cracked.
•
Check that the trimmer head and trimmer guard are not
damaged or cracked. Replace the trimmer head or
trimmer guard if they have been exposed to impact or are
cracked.
•
Never use the machine without a guard nor with a
defective guard.
•
All covers must be correctly
fi
tted and undamaged before
you start the machine.
