SAW BLADE
The U-type handlebar models are shipped with a manual nylon
cutting-line head installed on the trimmer. If the saw blade is needed,
move the ignition switch to the STOP (O) position and disconnect the
spark plug cap from the spark plug. Wear protective gloves when
working around the cutting-line head and saw blade.
Cutting-Line Head Removal

Insert a 4 mm hex wrench or equivalent into the gear case hole to
prevent the left-hand threaded output shaft from turning.
2. Hold the wrench and rotate the cutting-line head in the direction of
the arrow and remove the cutting-line head assembly.
Remove the cutting-line head as an assembly. Do not remove the
knob. Refer to page 20 for a cutting-line head assembly drawing.
