HEAD
NOTE: Remove the blade before attaching the
trimmer head. To remove blade, align hole in the
dust cup with the hole in the side of the gearbox
by rotating the blade. Insert a small screwdriver
into aligned holes. This will keep the shaft from
turning while loosening the blade nut. Remove
blade nut by turning clockwise. Remove the
screwdriver. Remove both washers and blade.
See INSTALLATION OF THE METAL BLADE
for illustrations. Be sure to store all parts and in-
structions for future use. Never use the trimmer
head with the metal blade installed.
