SECTION 3: ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Installing and Adjusting the D-Handle
NOTE: The D-handle is already mounted in position on
the backside of the shaft. Very little, if any, repositioning
should be necessary.
1. Locate the wing nut on the D-Handle. Untighten the
wing nut enough to loosen the D-Handle. See Figure 1.
NOTE: Do not remove wing nut, washer, or bolt.
2. Rotate the D-Handle to the upright position on the
front side of the shaft housing. See Figure 1.
NOTE: The D-handle should slant towards the
powerhead of the unit.
Figure 1
3. Hold the unit in the operating position. If necessary,
reposition the D-handle to the location that provides
the best grip. See Figure 2.

4. Tighten the wing nut 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.
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. Be sure the guard mounting bracket slides
into the slot on the edge of the cutting shield. Rotate
the shield into place, counterclockwise. The holes in
the guard mounting bracket and cutting attachment
shield will line up. See Figure 3.

2. From inside the cutting attachment shield, push the square
bolt through the hole until the threaded end protrudes
through the guard mounting bracket. See Figure 4.
