SECTION 3: ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
On some units, the J-handle may be pre-installed. In this
case you must loosen screws and adjust the handle to fit
the operator. Go to step 4 if the J-handle is pre-installed.
Install and Adjust the D-handle
1. Remove the screws and bottom clamp piece that
were installed on the D-handle for shipping.
2. Place D-handle the over the shaft housing and onto
the bottom clamp. See Figure 1. Place it a minimum
of 6 inches (15.24 cm) from the end of the shaft grip.
3. Start screws with a large Flat-head or T-25 Torx
screwdriver. Do not tighten until you make the handle
adjustment.
4. If it was pre-installed, loosen the screws on the
D-handle just enough to move the D-handle.
5. While holding the unit in the operating position,
position the D-handle to the location that provides
you the best grip. See Figure 2.
6. Tighten the clamp screws evenly, until the D-handle
is secure.
Installing the Cutting Attachment Shield
Use the following instructions if the cutting attachment
shield on your unit is not installed or if you ever need to
re-install it.
WARNING: To prevent serious personal
injury, never operate the trimmer without
the cutting attachment shield in place.
1. Place the cutting attachment shield onto the shaft
housing above the clamp assembly. See Figure 3.
2. Push the cutting attachment shield down to the top of
the cutting attachment assembly and then rotate the
cutting attachment shield until the screw holes align and
the guard fits into the recessed pocket. See Figure 4.
3. Install the four (4) screws with a Phillips screwdriver.
