Cutting performance of your machine
depends a great deal on proper cutter
blade adjustment. Properly adjusted
blades will oscillate freely yet help
prevent binding of cut material between
blades. Adjust blades as follows:
1. Loosen all blade locknuts at least
one full turn.
2. Tighten each blade shoulder bolt
rmly, and then loosen the shoulder
bolts 1/4 to 1/2 turn.

3. Working from the gearcase end, lock
each bolt in place by rmly tightening
its locknut while preventing the
shoulder bolt from turning.
When shoulder bolt adjustment is
correct, there should be a gap of
0.25 - 0.50 mm (0.010 - 0.020 in.)
between the cutter blades and the at
washers, and the at washer beneath
each bolt head should turn freely.
WARNING!
The cutter blades are very sharp!
Always wear gloves when working
around the cutter assembly.
CAUTION!
Operating the trimmer with worn or
improperly adjusted cutters will reduce
cutter performance and may also
damage your machine. Never operate
the machine with damaged or worn
cutters.
