1.  Turn the trimmer over so that the 

gearcase output shaft faces UP.

2.  Remove and discard the vinyl shaft 

protector.

3.  Position the tool holder as shown, and 

slide the holder onto the output shaft.

4.  Rotate the tool holder and shaft until the 

notch in the holder aligns with the notch 

on the gearcase flange, and use the long 

end of the hex wrench to lock the output 

shaft in position. See Figure 16.

5.  While holding the hex wrench, thread 

the trimmer head onto the output shaft 

in a counter clockwise rotation. Using 

hand pressure only, tighten the trimmer 

head firmly on the gearshaft.

IMPORTANT!

The trimmer head has a left-hand thread. 

Turn the trimmer head counter-clockwise 

to install.

 WARNING!

A standard T-series unit should NEVER 

be operated with blade-type attachments. 

For blade use the trimmer must first be 

fitted with a bicycle-type handlebar or 

barrier bar that is located in front of the 

operator to reduce risk for the operator to 

come in contact with cutting attachment 

(per ANSI B175.3).  When using a blade, 

the unit must be equipped with a harness 

or a strap.
