upward, on the bracket already fitted to the drive
shaft. Fit the plate (Ref. 2) on the inside of the
deflector and line it up. Insert the four screws
and tighten them down.
3. When using the nylon line trimmer, attach the
deflector (B) with a chopper blade on your
brushcutter in order to keep the line at the proper
length. Failure to follow this procedure may
damage your brushcutter.
To reduce the risk of injury from thrown objects
or blade contact, never operate the trimmer
without a properly mounted deflector.
C. MOUNTING THE CUTTING TOOL:
