Shield installation
1. Bracket.
2. Shaft tube.
6. Four bolts (M5 X 45).
Insert the shield between the shaft tube and the bracket with a spacer.
Fit a spacer and the shield support on the shaft tube and tighten four bolts (M5 X 45) lightly.
Tighten the four bolts firmly.
Installing blade
If worn bolt and bolt guard for blade are used, there is a danger of blade getting loose.
Replace them with new ones.
Fasten output shaft using locking tool securely in order to avoid the possibility of
output shaft rotating when mounting cutting blade which will prevent the cutting
blade fastening bolt from being tightened sufficiently.
Wear gloves to reduce the risk of injury caused by unintentional contact with the
blade.
NOTE
Check to be sure the locking tool is fully engaged to prevent the output shaft from turning.
Inspect blades before installation.
Check for sharpness.
Dull blades increase the risk of blade kickback reactions.
Small cracks can develop into fractures resulting in a piece of blade flying off during operation.
Discard cracked blades no matter how small the crack.
