is tapped against the ground while the head is turning at normal operating speed.
9. CUT-OFF KNIFE - Automatically trims line to the correct length: 5" after head is tapped on the ground. If trimmer is
operated without a cut-off knife the line will become too long, the engine will overheat and engine damage may occur.
10. PLASTIC DEBRIS SHIELD ASSEMBLY - Included in plastic bag (co-pack). MUST be installed on unit before use,
see Assembly Instructions. Shield assembly includes the Cut-Off Knife and Safety Decal. Mounts on the Gear
Housing Assembly just above the cutting attachment. Helps protect the operator by deflecting debris produced

for best operating technique.
12. ARM REST - Provides arm rest during operation and protects arm from the hot engine.
13. SPARK PLUG - Provides spark to ignite fuel mixture.
14. MUFFLER/SPARK ARRESTOR - The muffler controls the exhaust noise while the spark arrestor prevents hot,
glowing particles of carbon from leaving the muffler where they could possibly start a fire. Built in accordance with

Washington if the spark arresting screen is in place and in good repair.
