the cutting line away from items you 

don’t want cut, such as flowers, or 

damaged, such as fences or screens.
Each end of the wheel assembly guide  

is secured in its position on the motor

housing with two screws, included, see

Fig. 6. Check Edge Guide Wheels to

make sure they are properly located

and secure.

NOTE: THE SAFETY GUARD MUST BE ATTACHED to the trimmer head 

before use.

NOTE: 

Safety Guard will only fit one way.
