NOTE: If your unit has been assembled for trimmer head use, refer to the section ATTACH-
ING THE PLASTIC SHIELD AND TRIMMER HEAD and reverse the steps to remove the plas- tic shield and trimmer head before you mount the metal shield and blade. Store these parts for fu- ture use. Never use the trimmer head with the metal blade installed.
ASSEMBLY OF THE METAL SHIELD
DANGER: The metal shield must be properly installed on the tool anytime the tool is used with the 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 tube. The blade is sharp and can cut you. Be sure to wear gloves while working with blades.
S If your unit has a plastic cover over the threads on the shaft, remove the covering to expose the threads.
S Place the metal shield under the gearbox, and align the screw holes.
