14 Assembling the Trimmer / Brushcutter
► Position the unit so that you are facing the
underside of the deflector and the drive shaft
is pointed upwards.
► Slip the thrust plate (2) onto the drive shaft (3),
keeping the side of the thrust plate with the
smaller diameter facing upwards toward the
mowing head (1).
► Insert the stop pin (4) in the hole in the gear‐
box and rotate the drive shaft until the stop pin
slips into position and blocks the rotation of
the drive shaft.
► By hand, screw the mowing head counter‐
clockwise onto the drive shaft while keeping
the stop pin inserted. The drive shaft must be
blocked with the stop pin to mount or remove
a cutting attachment.
► Continue screwing down the mowing head
until it is properly and securely tightened.
► Remove the stop pin from the hole in the gear‐
box.
NOTICE
■ Using the trimmer with overly long trimmer line
increases the load on the motor and reduces
its operating speed. This may result in over‐
heating and damage to important components.
NOTICE
■ After mounting or removing the cutting attach‐
ment, always remove the stop pin used to
block the drive shaft.
