ASSEMBLY

TO ADJUST THE FRONT-ASSIST 

HANDLE POSITION

The handle should be adjusted so that your 
front arm will be straight when using the 
trimmer.
To adjust the front-assist handle position, 
loosen the screw knob so that the front-
assist handle can be moved to the desired 
position of the shaft. Tighten the screw knob 
so that the handle cannot move on the shaft 
during operation.
