CONFIGURING YOUR UNIT

You can configure your unit using a cut- ting head for grass and light weeds, or a weed blade for cutting grass, weeds, and brush up to 1/2 inch in diameter. To assemble your unit, go to the section for

the desired configuration and follow the instructions.

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 dust cup. Insert a small screwdriv- er into aligned holes. This will keep the

blade nut. Remove blade nut by turning clockwise. Remove the screwdriver.

move the four mounting screws. See ATTACHING THE METAL SHIELD and
