KNOW YOUR UNIT
APPLICATIONS
As a trimmer:
• Cutting grass and light weeds.
• Edging
• Decorative trimming around trees, fences, etc.
Other optional accessories may be used.
INSTALL CUTTING ATTACHMENT SHIELD
Use the following instructions if the cutting
attachment shield on your unit is not installed.
Use only the instructions that apply to the type of
shaft and shield that your unit is equipped with.
1. Place the cutting head shield onto the guard
mount bracket, making sure to align the
holes on the shield with the holes in the
guard mount bracket. (Fig. 1)
2. Take the 2 shield screws and screw each
one into the shield until finger tight.
3. Using an appropriate screw driver, tighten
the screws until the shield is firmly in place.
Make sure the screws are tightened equally
so there is a balanced gap between the
bracket and the shield on each side.
ADJUSTING THE D-HANDLE
1. Loosen the bolt on the handle just enough
to move it (Fig. 2).
2. While holding the unit in the operating position (Fig. 13), move the D-
handle to the location that provides the best grip.
3. Tighten the bolt until the D-handle is secure. (Fig. 2)
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury, never operate
the trimmer without the cutting attachment shield in place.
