– Guard ring (3) for brush knives and 
shredder blades.
Both these parts have the same 
function:
– Nut (4) and thread on shaft are 
protected against wear.
– Ground contact with metal cutting 
attachment is minimized.
– Rider plate allows cutting 
attachment to glide along close to 
ground.
Always replace a worn rider plate and 
guard ring in good time.
Nut and combination wrench
Metal cutting attachments are mounted 
to the gearbox with the nut (4).
N Loosen and tighten the nut (4) with 
the combination wrench (5).
If the mounting nut turns too freely, fit a 
new one.
Cleaning the Gearbox and Cutting 
Attachment Mounting Hardware
Clean the gearbox, the area surrounding 
it, inside the grass shield and the cutting 
attachment mounting hardware at 
regular intervals. Also check for 
contamination when changing the 
cutting attachment and clean thoroughly 
if necessary.
N Remove all cutting attachment 
mounting hardware from the 
gearbox for this purpose.
Preparations
N Lay your power tool on its back so 
that the cutting attachment 
mounting face is pointing up.
Fitting the Thrust Plate
N Slip the thrust plate (1) over the 
shaft (2).
Block the drive shaft.
The shaft (2) must be blocked to install 
and remove cutting attachments.
The shaft (2) can be blocked only if the 
thrust plate (1) is properly fitted – the 
stop pin (3) has to engage the thrust 
plate.
N Insert the stop pin (3) in the bore in 
the gearbox – apply slight pressure.
N Rotate shaft or cutting attachment 
until the stop pin slips into position 
and blocks the shaft.
The stop pin is held in position in the 
gearbox by a rubber element.
