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.
