To attach and remove the locknut
WARNING: Stop the engine, use protective
gloves and be careful around the sharp
edges of the cutting attachment.
A locknut is used to attach some types of cutting
attachments. The locknut has a left thread.
• To attach, tighten the locknut in the opposite
direction to the direction of turning of the cutting
attachment.
• To remove the locknut, loosen the locknut in the
same direction as the cutting attachment rotates.
• To loosen and tighten the locknut, use a socket
wrench with a long shaft. The arrow in the picture
shows the area where you can operate the socket
wrench.
WARNING: When you loosen and
tighten the locknut, there is a risk of
injury from the blade. You must always
make sure that the blade guard prevents
injury to your hand when you do this.
Note: Make sure that you can not turn the locknut by
hand. Replace the nut if the nylon lining does not have a
resistance of a minimum of 1.5 Nm. The locknut must be
replaced after it has been put on approximately 10
times.
