INSTALLING THE GUARD and EDGE GUIDE (Figs. 4, 4a and 4b)
I WARNING: To avoid injury, ALWAYS turn off and disconnect the
trimmer from the power outlet BEFORE installing parts or cleaning the
trimmer or making any adjustments.
1. Turn the trimmer over to provide access to trimmer head.
2. Remove the four screws from the base of the motor housing (see Fig. 4).
3. Take edge guide and fit its two curved ends into the slots in the upper side
of the guard. These ends of the guide will fit into the slots in the guard by
snapping into place (see Fig. 4a).
4. With the edge guide in place, fit the guard over the trimmer head.
(The edge guide should now be positioned between the trimmer head
and the guard). Fit the guard onto the trimmer head so that it is seated
completely on the head. The larger side of the guard will be facing the
same direction as illustrated on page 10.
5. Align the four screw holes on the guard with the four screw holes on the
trimmer head (see Fig. 4b).
6. Insert the four screws and tighten. DO NOT over-tighten.
