SECTION 3: ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Installing the Cutting Attachment Shield
Use the following instructions if the cutting attachment
shield on your unit is not installed.
WARNING: To prevent serious personal
injury, never operate the trimmer without
the cutting attachment shield in place.
1. Place the cutting attachment shield onto the shaft
housing. Be sure the guard mounting bracket slides
into the slot on the edge of the cutting shield. Rotate
the shield into place, counterclockwise. The holes in
the guard mounting bracket and cutting attachment
shield will line up. See Figure 3.

Installing and Adjusting the D-handle
1. Push the D-handle down onto the shaft housing so
that the handle slants towards the shaft grip. Make
sure the squared bolt hole in the handle is to the
right. See Figure 1.
2. Insert the shoulder bolt into the squared hole in the
handle and push through. On the left side of the
handle, place the washer on the bolt, then screw the
wing nut onto the bolt. Do not tighten until you make
the handle adjustment.
3. Rotate the D-handle until the grip is above the top of
the shaft housing. Place it a minimum of 6 inches
(15.24 cm) from the end of the shaft grip.
