Installing a Blade

CAUTION!
Install the blade so its printed surface
is visible to the operator when the
brushcutter is in the normal operating
position.

WARNING!

The blade must fit flat against the

holder flange. The blade mounting hole
must be centered over the raised boss
on blade holder A.

IMPORTANT!

Both holders must be flat against the
surface of the blade.

3. Install blade holder B on the output

shaft. See Figure 13.

4. Install the bolt guard and then the blade

retaining bolt. Using the combination

spark plug wrench/screwdriver, tighten

the bolt firmly in a counter-clockwise

direction. The holder B must fit flush

against the blade.
