SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7. Locking nut
• Protect your hand from
injury when assembling,
use the blade guard as
protection when tightening
with a socket spanner.
Tighten the nut by turning
against the direction of
rotation. Loosen the nut by
turning in the direction of
rotation. (NOTE! the nut
has a left-hand thread).
• Tighten the nut using a
socket spanner, 35 - 50 Nm
(3.5 - 5 kpm).
NOTE!
The locking nut‘s nylon lock must not be so worn that it can
be turned by hand. The lock shall hold at least 1.5 Nm. The
nut should be replaced after it has been put on approx. 10
times.
6. Cutting equipment
This section describes how through correct maintenance and
through using the right type of cutting equipment you can:
• Reduce the machine‘s tendency to kickback
• Obtain maximum cutting capacity.
• Increase the service life of the cutting equipment.
The three basic rules:
1 Only use the cutting and
guard equipment we
recommend! See chapter
“Technical data“.
2 Keep the blade‘s teeth well
and correctly sharpened!
Follow our instructions
and use the recommended
filing gauge. An incorrectly
sharpened or damaged
blade increases the risk of
an accident.
3 Check the cutting
equipment with regard to
damage and crack
formation. Damaged
cutting equipment should
always be replaced.
WARNING!
Never use a machine with defective
safety equipment. The safety equipment
should be maintained as described in this
section. If your machine does not meet
any of these controls you should contact
your service workshop.
