The line cutting blade on the grass deflector is sharp. Avoid contact with the blade. Failure to avoid contact can result in serious personal injury.

Follow these steps to attach the grass deflector.

Install the flat washer, the lock washer, and the wing nut.

Tighten the wing nut securely.

Remove the protective packaging from the line cutting blade.

EXTENSION CORD RETAINER

An extension cord retainer is located on the bottom of the trimmer. This provides strain relief for the cord, preventing unwanted disconnects.

Note: To reduce the disconnection of the power cord from the extension cord during operation, use the extension cord retainer described below.

METHOD OF SECURING EXTENSION CORD

Use the extension cord retainer when you connect the extension cord to the power cord to prevent disconnection. Use only an outdoor approved extension cord as indicated by the letters “W-A” on the cord’s jacket.

Loop the extension cord through the extension cord retainer slot located on the bottom end of the trimmer. See Figure 5.

Pull loop of extension cord around tongue and pull tight. See Figure 6.
