ATTACHING THE PLASTIC SHIELD
AND TRIMMER HEAD
WARNING:
The shield must be prop-
erly installed. The shield provides partial
protection from the risk of thrown objects to
the operator and others and is equipped with
a line limiter blade which cuts excess line to
the proper length. The line limiter blade (on
underside of shield) is sharp and can cut you.

3. Pivot shield until bolt passes through hole
in bracket.

NOTE:
If your unit has a plastic cover over
the threads on the threaded shaft, remove the
covering to expose the threads. Before
installing the trimmer head, make sure the
dust cup is positioned on the gearbox as
