NOTE: Remove the trimmer head and plastic shield before attaching the metal shield and installing the weed blade. To remove the trimmer head, align hole in the dust cup with the hole in the side of the gearbox by rotating the dust cup. Insert a small screwdriver into aligned holes. This will keep the shaft from turning while loos- ening the trimmer head. Remove the trimmer head by turning clockwise. Remove the screw- driver. To remove the plastic shield, loosen and remove wing nut. Pivot shield to release bracket from slot. See INSTALLATION OF THE TRIM- MER HEAD and ATTACHING THE PLASTIC SHIELD for illustrations. Be sure to store all parts and instructions for future use. Never use the trimmer head with the metal blade installed.

ATTACHING THE METAL SHIELD

WARNING: The metal shield must be properly installed on the tool anytime the tool is used with a blade. The forward tip of the metal shield helps to reduce the occurrence of blade thrust which can cause serious injury such as amputation to the operator or by- standers. Failure to install the shield in the position shown can result in serious injury to the operator. The length of the shield must be aligned with the length of the shaft.

1.Place the metal shield under the gearbox, and align the screw holes.

WARNING: Wear protective gloves when handling or performing maintenance on the blade to avoid injury. The blade is sharp and can cut you even when it is not moving.

WARNING: Do not use any blades, or fastening hardware other than the washers and nuts shown in the following illustrations. These parts must be provided by Poulan/Weed Eater and installed as shown below. Failure to use proper parts can cause the blade to fly off and seriously hurt you or others.
