NOTE: Remove the blade and metal shield before attaching the plastic shield and trimmer head. To remove blade, align hole in the dust cup with the hole in the side of the gearbox by rotating the blade. Insert a small screwdriver into aligned holes. This will keep the shaft from turning while loosening the blade nut. Remove blade nut by turning clockwise. Remove the screwdriver. Remove both washers and blade. To remove metal shield, loosen and re-

move the four mounting screws. See AT- TACHING THE METALSHIELD and INSTALLATIONOF THE METAL BLADE for

illustrations. Be sure to store all parts and instructions for future use.
