Preparing the equipment for use
ENGLISH 11
B) Fitting the nylon head
(subject to model or as accessory)
Note: When fitting the nylon head, the collar
washer (Fig. 6 item 5),
the disc (Fig. 6 item 6),
the spring washer (Fig. 6 item 7)
and the locking nut (Fig. 6 item 8)
are not required.
• Position thrust piece (2) on gear shaft (1). Ensure
that the chamfered edge points towards the
gearbox.
• Rotate the gear shaft with the thrust piece, so
that the recess for retaining pin (3) is flush with
the recess in winding protection (4) or the
gearbox casing.
• Insert the retaining pin to lock the gearbox.
• Rotate the complete nylon head with the
additional line winding protection (9) on the
gear shaft against the thrust piece. Please note:
Left-hand thread! Tighten anti-clockwise against
the nylon head.
• Fit the line cutter blade (11) with screw (12) and
washer (13) to the protective bar (10).
• Push the protective bar (10) from below onto the
shield. Slightly bend the protective bar in the
process.
Please Note: When operating with the nylon head,
never start the engine without fitted protection bar
and line trimming blade.
Note: When the nylon line length is adjusted (
see
chapt."8.3 Adjusting the nylon line"
), the line trimmer
blade will trim the line automatically to the correct
length.
Information regarding the guard bar:
Always operate without the guard bar when using
the grass cutting blade.
When operating with other cutting tools, which are
available as accessories, always fit the guard bar, but
without line trimming blade. For a more detailed
overview, see chapter "10. Accessories".
5.5 Shoulder strap adjustment
Before commencing work, adjust the shoulder strap
and handle according to the operator’s body size.
Position the single shoulder strap over your l.h.
shoulder, so that, after adjusting the strap length,
the strap hook is located at your r.h. hip.
Note: Whilst working, carry the brushcutter with
the loop handle (only model 121L, 129L and
129LTS) on the l.h. side of your body; consequently
put the shoulder strap over the other shoulder.
Please note: With the two-hand bicycle handle,
carry the brushcutter on the r.h. side of your body
during work!
After hook (1) has been hooked into the shoulder
strap rail on the protection tube, balance the
brushcutter with fitted cutter so, that the cutter just
touches the ground, without touching the
suspended brushcutter with your hands. To do this,
insert the hook into one of the various fixing holes.
To release the single shoulder strap, open the
bayonet fitting by pushing together the catch. The
hook in the bottom part of the strap can remain
attached to the equipment.
