WARNING!
When fitting the cutting attachment it is
extremely important that the raised section

correctly in the centre hole of the cutting
attachment. If the cutting attachment is fitted
incorrectly it can result in serious and/or
fatal personal injury.
!
WARNING! Never use a cutting attachment
without an approved guard. See the chapter
on Technical data. If an incorrect or faulty
guard is fitted this can cause serious
personal injury.
IMPORTANT! If a saw blade or grass blade are to be used
the machine must be equipped with the correct handlebar,

center hole of the support cup. Tighten to a
torque of 35-50 Nm (3.5-5.0 kpm), CAUTION!
Left-hand thread. If the lock screw is not
fitted in the support cup, there is a risk that
the support cup will come unscrewed. This
means that the blade will also come loose,
which could result in serious or fatal injury
to the operator or others.
