5.8 Relocating cutting device from center position to outer position
Preparation
• Put the power tool on level ground.
• Remove the cut off wheel: Chap. 5.3, page 17
• Remove the water supply line (30):
Unscrew the attachment screw (a) of the water supply line on
the right and left sides of the wheel guard (2).
Remove both adapter pieces (b) including the line from the
wheel guard. Put down adapter pieces including line so that
the line does not interfere with the following work steps and
is not clamped.
• Remove handle for wheel guard adjustment (3). Loosen
both attachment screws (c) of the handle for wheel guard
adjustment and remove the handle.
• Loosen both attachment nuts (d) of the ribbed belt cover
(14).
• Turn ribbed belt tension screw (13) towards the left, e.g.
counter-clockwise, to reduce the ribbed belt tension.
Turn until the square nut (e) has been moved towards the
mark “−” (f) as far as possible. When installing the cutting
deviceinthecenterposition(cf.gure),thesquarenutisall
the way to the left; in case of installation in the outer position,
it is located all the way to the right.
• Remove both attachment nuts (d) entirely.
• Remove the ribbed belt cover (14).
Remove wheel guard (2)
• Carefully move the wheel guard towards the motor unit.

the oblong holes.
• Once the wheel guard has been moved towards the motor
unit until the ribbed belt support (i) can be pulled through the
ribbed belt (h), remove the wheel guard. Observe that the
ribbed belt is not damaged by this.
When working with the cut off wheel in the outer position, observe the asymmetric weight distribution! If possible,
work in the center position.
The power tool is delivered for operation of the cut off wheel in the center position by default. Generally, the power tool
is more balanced in the center position, because the weight is distributed symmetrically to the center axis and the cut
therefore is easier to guide.
If obstacles are very close to the cutting location, it may be required to install the cutting device in the outer position so
that the cut off wheel is located farther towards the outside.

• Twist the assembly ange against the wheel guard so
that the receptacle bore for the screw (k) is located between
the center stop and the right stop (m) on the wheel guard.
