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 opera- tor or bystanders. 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.

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 tum- ing while loosening the _mmer head, Remove the trimmer head by turning
gloves when handling or performing maintenance on the blade to avoid in- jury. The blade is sharp and can cut you even when it is not moving.
