The machine�s safety equipment must be checked and maintained as described in this section. If your machine fails any of these checks contact your service agent to get it repaired. WARNING!

Locking nut
!
The locking nut secures the cutting attachment on the output shaft. Protect your hand from injury when assembling, use the blade guard as protection when tightening with a socket spanner.
Cutting attachment guard
When �tting, tighten the nut in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the cutting attachment. To remove it, undo the nut in the same direction as the cutting attachment rotates. (CAUTION! The nut has a left-hand thread.)
This guard is intended to prevent loose objects from being thrown towards the operator. The guard also protects the operator from accidental contact with the cutting attachment.
CAUTION! The nylon lining inside the locking nut must not be so worn that you can turn it by hand. The lining should offer a resistance of at least 1.5 Nm. The nut should be replaced after it has been put on approx. 10 times.
General safety precautions
� Check that the guard is undamaged and not cracked. Replace the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is cracked. Only use cutting attachments with the guards we recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
