WARNING DANGER

One of the intended purposes of the debris shield is to reduce the risk of the operator’s legs from being struck by thrown objects. The debris shield, however, should NOT be relied upon to provide protection for the eyes from thrown objects. Always wear approved eye protection goggles. The debris shield is also intended to assist the operator when starting the unit on the ground (the unit is rested on the debris shield, thus helping to keep the cutting line or blade in the clear). The debris shield can also help the operator determine the reach of the cutting line during operation as well as provide a limited barrier between the operator’s feet and the cutting attach- ment.

NOTE

There are two columns of pictures for each column of proce- dures in this part of the manual. One column shows curved- shaft units, the other column is for straight-shaft units. Disregard the column which does not apply to your unit. Study the pictures which apply to your unit.

WARNING DANGER

Some units have a plastic debris shield. The plastic shield has a razor-sharp knife which trims the line whenever it becomes too long. If your unit has a debris shield with a cut-off knife, do not cut yourself when handling the line head and shield. Do not operate if the cut-off knife is missing.
