OPERATING THE COUPLER

The coupler enables the use of both trimmer and blower.

Removing Add-On Attachments:

plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore,
they are always in operating condition. To
prevent serious personal injury, take extra
precaution and care when removing or
installing add-on attachments.

1. Turn the knob counterclockwise to loosen (Fig. 6).

NOTE:

To make installing or removing the add-on
attachment easier, place the unit on the ground
or on a work bench.
