► Screw on the nut (1) counterclockwise and tighten it down
until the cutting attachment is properly and securely
attached.
► Remove the stop pin from the hole in the gearbox.
Cutting attachments with more than 4 cutting edges must be

rotation. Otherwise, the cutting attachment will not cut. The
direction of rotation is indicated by an arrow on the

show the correct direction of rotation of the cutting
attachment. When viewed from above, however, the cutting
attachment rotates counterclockwise.

remove the stop pin used to block rotation of the drive shaft.
