IV. GETTING STARTED
4.1- Installing the hedge trimmer cutter (Fig.HT3 & 4)
WARNING! The cutter blades are very sharp. Do not handle the cutter assembly unless the
protective blade cover is in place.
IMPORTANT! Always wear gloves when working with or near the cutter assembly.
1. Make sure the cutter bar is locked in the storage/transport position (folded back) and the protective
cover is installed over the cutter blades.
2. Insert the end of the outer tube into the hedge trimmer cutter gearcase clamp assembly and push
until it bottoms.
The outer tube should go into the gearcase about 1-1/2 in. (38 mm).
If the outer tube stops before bottoming, rotate it until you feel the inner main shaft (driveshaft)
splines engage the gearcase.
Then push the outer tube all the way in.
3. Rotate the gearcase/cutter assembly so that index screw aligns with the hole in the outer tube.
With the powerhead in the upright position, the cutter assembly will appear to be upside down while
in the storage/transport position.
4. Use a 4mm Allen wrench to tighten the hedge trimmer gearcase index screw first, then the gearcase
clamp screw.
5. Adjust the hand protector/cutter rest so that the tip of the cutter bar fits into the support notch.
Make sure the cutter bar also lifts out of the notch easily.
Then tighten the hand protector clamp screw with a screw driver.
