Drive shaft
Lubricate the drive shaft at an interval of 3 months. Let a
service agent help you if you are not sure about the
procedure.
To attach and remove the locknut
WARNING: Stop the engine, use protective
gloves and be careful around the sharp
edges of the cutting attachment.
Use the locknut to attach some types of cutting
attachments. The locknut has a left thread.
• Use a socket wrench with a shaft that is sufficiently
long to let you keep your hand behind the cutting
attachment guard. The arrow in the illustration shows
the area where you can safely operate the socket
wrench.
• To attach, tighten the locknut in the opposite
direction to how the cutting attachment rotates.
• To remove the locknut, turn it in the same direction
as how the cutting attachment rotates.
• Keep count when you remove and attach the
locknut. Replace the locknut after approximately 10
times.
Note: Make sure that you can not turn the locknut by
hand. Replace the locknut if the nylon lining does not
have a resistance of a minimum of 1.5 Nm.
To sharpen the grass knife and grass
blade
WARNING: Stop the engine. Use protective
gloves.
• To sharpen the grass knife or grass blade correctly,
refer to the instructions that come with the cutting
attachment.
• Sharpen all edges equally to keep the balance.
• Use a single-cut flat file.
WARNING: Always discard a blade that is
damaged. Do not try to make a bent or
twisted blade straight and use it again.
To sharpen the saw blade
WARNING: Stop the engine. Use protective
gloves.
• To sharpen the blade correctly, refer to the
instructions that come with the blade.
• Make sure that the product and blade has sufficient
support when you sharpen it.
