6. Preparation for work – Installation
Switch off the power tool engine and remove the
spark plug before fitting (and later removing) the
hedge trimmer attachment. Always cover the
cutting blades with the blade sheath during
installation or dismantling of the hedge trimmer
attachment.
Fig. 4
Installation of the lower shaft tube into the hedge
trimmer attachment angular gear.
Release the lower shaft tube straining screw
(10) and fixing screw (11) at the hedge
trimmer attachment angular gear.
Push the lower shaft tube with the star toothed
drive shaft into the angular gear up to its end
stop.
Orient the lower shaft tube by gently rotating it,
so that the attachment fixing holes for
connecting the upper shaft tube are located to
the left and right hand side of the hedge
trimmer blades.
Tighten the shaft tube connection straining
screw (10) followed by the fixing screw (11) with
a Torx T25 spanner.
A simple, quick tool change is made possible as
the lower shaft tube can now be replaced with the
tool head attached.
When fitting the appliance to the power tool shaft,
ensure that the hollow shaft in the lower shaft
section mates with the quadrant in the upper
section of the drive shaft. When assembling it may
be necessary to lightly jiggle the lower shaft tube.
The fixing pin (2) must audibly lock into position in
the shaft tube holes.
Ten tighten the straining screw (1).

To separate the shaft sections:
Release the straining screw (1).
Pull out the fixing pin (2).
Pull the lower shaft tube (3) with gearbox from
the female coupling.
Tip: The holes on both sides enables the lower
shaft tube to be attached either way, i.e. turned
through 180°. This means the cutting tool can also
be angled against the shaft tube to point away from
the handle at 90°.
Accessories offered:
Shaft tube extension (SOLO part no. 69 00 608,
extension of about 800 mm) for a very long
reach.
Extra short lower shaft tube (SOLO part no. 69
00 265, approx. 210 mm) for close work.
