WARNING!

A standard grass trimmer with a loop handle should NEVER be operated with blade-type attachments. For blade use the trimmer must be fitted with a bicycle-type handlebar or a barrier bar that is located in front of the operator to reduce the risk of the operator coming in contact with the cutting attachment (per ANSI B175.3). When using a blade, the unit must also be equipped with a harness or strap.

Install the Trimmer Head.

1.Turn the trimmer over so that the gear case output shaft faces UP.

2.Remove and discard the black plastic protective cap from the output shaft. See Figure 9.
