INSTALLING THE CUTTING HEAD GUARD
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,
never operate the trimmer without the cutting
head guard in place.
1. Place the cutting head guard onto the shaft tube
above the clamp assembly, Figure 3.
2. Push the cutting guard down to the top of the
cutting head assembly and then rotate the cutting
head guard until the screw holes align and the guard
fits into the recessed pocket, Figure 3.
3. Install the four (4) screws with a Phillips screwdriver,
Figure 4.
INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE D-HANDLE
1. Push the D-handle down onto the shaft tube so that
the handle slants towards the shaft grip, Figure 1.
The squared bolt hole in the handle is to the right.
2. Insert the shoulder bolt into the squared hole in the
handle. Place the washer on the bolt, and screw the
wing nut onto the bolt. Do not tighten until you make
the handle adjustment.
3. Rotate the D-handle to place the grip above the top
of the shaft tube. Place it a minimum of 15.24 cm
(6 inches) from the end of the shaft grip.
4. While holding the unit in the operating position,
position the D-handle to the location that provides
you the best grip, Figure 2.
5. Tighten the wing nut until the D-handle is secure.
