4. Preparing the equipment for use
For shipping purposes, the brushcutter is partly
disassembled and has to be reassembled prior to
use.
Only use the brushcutter after it has been fully
assembled.
4.1 Loop handle assembly
Fig. 2
Install the safety stop (5) pointing to the left
(viewed from the operator position).
Initially tighten the screws only lightly.
Push the handle, in accordance with your body
size, into its optimum position.
Then tighten the screws.
4.2 Fitting the nylon head
Fig. 3
Lock the drive shaft with the locking pin (allen
wrench). Wind the line head clockwise onto the
drive shaft.
Note: When adjusting the cord length (see
"Adjusting the cutting line", chapter 5.3), the cord
trimming blade in the contact protector
automatically cuts the cord end to the correct
length, as soon as the tool is started.
Preparing the equipment for use
Please note: Never start the brush cutter without
fitted line trimming blade.
To replace the line head, unwind it, with the drive
shaft blocked, by rotating it anti-clockwise.
4.3 Shield installation
Fig. 4
Guide the contact protector from the top over the
shaft tube into the correct position. In the correct
working position, the protector must point towards
the user.

Also guide the fixing part over the shaft tube into
its correct position, so that the open part of the ring
points towards the user.
Fig. 6
Secure the contact protector and fixing part with
the four screws (14), washers (15) and spring washer
