Install trimmer head
1. Turn the trimmer over so that the gear case output shaft faces UP.
2. Remove and discard the black plastic protective cap from the output shaft.
3. Rotate the holder until the hole in the holder aligns with the notch on the
gear case. Use the long end of the hex wrench to lock the holder and output
shaft.
4. While holding the hex wrench, thread the trimmer head onto the output
shaft, turning counter-clockwise. Using hand pressure only, tighten the trim-
mer head firmly on the output shaft.
IMPORTANT!
The trimmer head has a left-hand thread. For removal turn the trimmer head
clockwise.
5. Remove the hex wrench.
6. Adjust the trimmer line length to reach no further than the line cutter on the
cutting attachment shield. Trim to the correct length if necessary.
The unit should now be
completely assembled and ready for use with a trimmer head.

WARNING!
A standard grass trimmer with a loop handle should NEVER be
operated with blade-type attachments. For blade use the trimmer must be
fitted with a bicycle-type handlebar or a barrier bar that is located in front of
the operator to reduce the risk of the operator from coming in contact with
the cutting attachment (per ANSI B175.3). When using a blade, the unit
must also be equipped with a harness or strap.
Installing Brushcutter Blade
CAUTION!
Install the blade so its printed surface is visible to the operator when the
brushcutter is in the normal operating position.
WARNING!
The blade must fit flat against the holder flange. The blade mounting
hole must be centered over the raised boss on blade Holder A.
WARNING!
Holder B must fit flush against the blade and the splines engaged to
the output shaft.
1. Turn the trimmer over so that the gear case output shaft faces UP.
2. Remove and discard the black plastic protective cap (D) from the output
shaft.
3. Remove fixing plate (C)
4. Install blade holder A (A).
5. Align the hole in blade holder A with the matching hole in the gear case
flange and then temporarily lock the output shaft by inserting a hex wrench
through both holes.
