SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cutting equipment

This section describes 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

Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow
our instructions and use the recommended file gauge. An
incorrectly sharpened or damaged blade increases the
risk of accidents.

3

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.

4

Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.

Quick release

Check that the harness straps are correctly positioned. Once
the harness and machine have been adjusted, check that the
harness quick release works correctly.

Locking nut

When fitting, tighten the nut in the opposite direction to the
direction of rotation of the cutting attachment. To remove
it, undo the nut in the same direction as the cutting
attachment rotates. (CAUTION! The nut has a left-hand
thread.)

Tighten the nut using the socket spanner. 35-50 Nm (3.5-
5 kpm).

CAUTION!

The nylon lining inside the locking nut must not

be so worn that you can turn it by hand. The lining should
offer a resistance of at least 1.5 Nm. The nut should be
replaced after it has been put on approx. 10 times.

!

WARNING! Never use a machine with faulty
safety equipment. The machine’s safety
equipment must be checked and maintained
as described in this section. If your machine
fails any of these checks contact your
service agent to get it repaired.
