The skirt and line limiting blade are
not required on the deflector for grass
cutting blades 230-4 (1) and 230-8 (2) or

plate (5, next illustration) for metal
cutting attachments – have your
servicing dealer check the
machine if necessary.
If your new brushcutter came equipped
with a metal cutting attachment, the
correct thrust plate (5) will already be
mounted.

Cutting edges of grass cutting blade (1)
may point in either direction.
Cutting edges of grass cutting blade (2)
must point clockwise.

an arrow on the inside of the
deflector.
