How To Set Up Your 52cc 5in1 Cutting Multi Tool Garden Set

As well as the actual engine section, you'll need to find out the four nuts and bolts (packed in your toolkit), the two sections of the handle and the smaller hex key. You might also find a tape measure useful for this bit.

The handle is going to sit over the black piece of plastic, shown in the red box. The plastic section should slide freely up and down the shaft. You can connect the handle where ever is comfortable for you. We suggest measuring 540mm from the neck of the shaft (pictured) and placing the plastic section there. You can always adjust the positioning later.

Locate the four nuts into the counter sunk holes in the lower section of the handle.

Fit the bottom section of the handle underneath the plastic section on the shaft. The handle and plastic section have grooves so the handle should fit snugly and only in one direction.

Now, push the top section of the handle on top of the bottom section.

Insert all four of your bolts through the top section of the handle. If you've lined everything up correctly you should be able to tighten them into your nuts. You might find it easiest to tighten the bolts which are diagonally opposite to one another first.

Your handle shouldn't move up or down the shaft if you've tighten everything correctly. You can always loosen off these bolts later and adjust the position of the handle.

You can adjust the harness bracket for your own comfort, however we suggest that you measure 355mm down from the neck of the shaft and place it there.

Make sure the bracket is completely straight and then tighten up the bolt with your hex key. That's all the set up required for the engine section.

For this bit, you'll need to pull out the chainsaw pole, chain bar and packaged chain. You also want a pair of gardening gloves for handling the chain - it's very sharp!

Take your chain and bar. Loosely drape your chain around the bar, being sure to pay attention to the direction of the chain. There's a graphic on the bar and arrows on chain itself which should help you get it the right way round. Remember your gloves.

Remove the casing for the pole saw attachment by twisting the tensioning screw anticlockwise.

Affix the chain and bar around the sprocket. Be sure that the the chain fits comfortably around the bar and sprocket with the pin fitting within the centre of bar.

Pull the chain and bar tight.

You now need to replace the casing of the pruning saw (red pin to the red threaded hole in the casing) making sure that the tensioning pin (green) lines up with with the bottom hole in the chain bar (green).

If the pin doesn't align perfectly, you can move the position of the pin (green) by holding it with a finger and rotating the blue tensioning knob as appropriate.

Once everything's properly lined up you should be able to continue to tighten the tensioning screw until the casing sits perfectly around the chain, bar and pole.

Double check your chain moves freely around the bar by pulling it around the guide bar.

Finally, you need to make sure you have the correct chain tension. Adjust the chain tension by turning the tensioning screw until the chain just touches the bottom side of the bar. Tighten the tensioning screw securely with the bar tip held up to mimic how the bar will sit when it cuts. Check again that the chain can freely rotate around the bar. If necessary, re-adjust.

Find the blue strimmer/brushcutter guard and the brushcutter and strimmer pole. You'll also need your hex key.

Remove the four nuts and bolts on the brackets at the end of your strimmer/brushcutter pole. They're normally only loosely fitted so you can do it by hand. Alternatively, use the hex key provided.

Loosen the bolt securing the bracket. You should now be able to move the bracket anti-clockwise, making a gap for your guard to fit between.

In the gap you've just made you can now slip the guard into place. The holes should align through both halves of the bracket and the guard.

Put the bolts through the top half of the bracket, the guard and the bottom half of the bracket.

Make sure everything lines up nicely and then attach the nuts to the bolts, hand tight. Turn the attachment over and secure the bolts firmly with your hex key. There should be little to no movement in the guard when installed correctly.

For this bit you'll need the brushcutting blade, the brushcutter/strimmer pole, your hex key and wrench.

Take your hex key and use it to secure the brass washer through the black casing as pictured. You will now be able to use your wrench (provided in the toolkit) to remove the brass nut. The nut is reverse threaded so you need to use your wrench clockwise to remove it.

Remove the chrome casing and brass washer, leaving you one remaining brass collar in the black case.

Take your brushcutter blade and mount it upside-down on top of the brass collar. We've left the protective blue plastic on as the blades pretty sharp.

Now we need to put everything we've just taken off the mechanism back. Place the brass washer on top of the blade, then the chrome casing and then reattach the brass nut with your wrench. Because the nut is reverse threaded you need to tighten it by twisting anticlockwise.

Remove the hex key and the blue plastic protecting the blade. Your brushcutting head is now all set up.

To set up your multi-tool as a strimmer you'll need the nylon bump spool, line cutter (and three small screws), the wrench, hex key and a crosshead screwdriver (one is provided in your toolkit).

Take your hex key and use it to secure the brass washer through the black casing as pictured. You will now be able to use your wrench (provided in the toolkit) to remove the brass nut. The nut is reverse threaded so you need to move your wrench clockwise to remove it.

Take the nylon bump spool and twist it on to the the shaft. The spool is reverse threaded so you need to twist it on anti-clockwise.

Take the three small screws from your toolkit and the line trimmer, See the picture above for where to fit the trimmer so it best maintains the optimum line length. A screwdriver is included in your toolkit.

All you need for this attachment is the hedge trimming blade section and the hedge trimmer shaft (plus your trusty hex key). The hedge trimmer shaft is easy to find as it has a sticker on one end with a diagram of the assembly instructions.

There's two bolts you need to loosen with your hex key on the hedge trimmer attachment. This will allow you to slip it on to the shaft piece piece.

The shaft piece has two very similar ends. Remove the rubber protective pieces and find the end with a circular hole (the other end has a square hole). This circular hole needs to be properly aligned with the bolt on the hedge trimmer blade (pictured).

Tighten both bolts to clamp the shaft piece in place.

1. Loosen off the blue tension nut below the handle of the engine section.

2. Press the silver lever down on the engine section.

3. You now need to align your attachment piece so the little square is facing up and can be clamped by the tooth on the lever. Push the attachment piece into the engine section and release the silver lever so it clamps down into the square hole on the attachment. Tighten the blue tension screw and you're ready to go.

The extension pole fits in exactly the same way, except one of the ends has another tensioning nut and silver lever. Simply follow the process above once for attaching the extension pole, and then again for securing an attachment.

NOTE: the extension pole is not suitable for the brushcutter or strimming head. Only use the extension pole for the chainsaw and hedge trimmer attachments.
