PUTTING INTO OPERATION

CAUTION:

Always turn off the engine and pull off the spark plug cap
before doing any work on the Power Cut! Always wear
protective gloves!

CAUTION:

Start the Power Cut only after complete assembly and
inspection.

Sequence

For the the following work, use the assembly tools included
with delivery:

1. 13/19 AF combination wrench

2. Allen key

3. Carburetor adjustment screwdriver

Place the Power Cut on a stable surface and carry out the fol-
lowing assembly steps:

Mounting the cutting disc

Inspect the disc for damage.

See SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, Page 6.

Unscrew screw (9) and remove the spring washer (8).

Place the cutting disc (5) on the arbour (7).

NOTE: The arbor hole of the cutting disc must be an exact Þ t
with the arbor or shaft.

For cutoff discs with 25.4 mm (1”) arbor holes, use the cor-
rect size disc holder (supplied only with cutoff discs with 25.4
mm (1”) arbor holes). Non-compliance can cause serious
injury!

Make sure the cutting disc is installed so it turns in the right
direction, if a direction is marked on the disc.

Place the spring washer (8) on the arbour and insert the screw
(9) and tighten by hand.

Slowly turn the cutoff disc until a hole (11) in the V-belt pulley is
visible in the counter-holding opening (10) of the cutting arm.

Insert the Allen key (2) as far as it will go. The shaft is now
blocked.

Tighten the screw with the combination wrench (1).

NOTE: Tighten the screw Þ rmly (30 ± 2 Nm), as otherwise
the cutting wheel may slip during cutting.

Remove the Allen key and combination tool.
