it, undo the nut in the same direction as the cutting
attachment rotates. (CAUTION! The nut has a left-hand
thread.)
Tighten the nut using the socket spanner. 35-50 Nm (3.5-

The nylon lining inside the locking nut must not be so worn

resistance of at least 1.5 Nm. The nut should be replaced
after it has been put on approx. 10 times.
