Install and Adjust the D-handle
1. Remove the screws and bottom clamp piece that
were installed on the D-handle for shipping.
2. Place D-handle over the shaft housing and onto the
bottom clamp (Fig. 3-1). Place it a minimum of 6
inches (15.24 cm) from the end of the shaft grip.
3. Start screws with a large Flat-head or T-25 Torx
screwdriver. Do not tighten until you make the
handle adjustment.
4. If it was pre-installed, loosen the screws on the
D-handle just enough to move the D-handle.
5. While holding the unit in the operating position
(Fig. 3-2), move the D-handle to the location that
provides you the best grip.
6. Tighten the clamp screws evenly, until the D-handle
is secure.
Install the CuttingAttachmentShield
Use the following instructions if the cutting attachment
shield on your unit is not installed.
1. Place the cutting attachment shield onto the shaft
housing above the clamp assembly (Fig. 3-3).
To prevent serious personal injury, never operate
the trimmer without the cutting attachment shield
in place.
2. Push the cutting attachment shield down to the top of
the cutting attachment assembly and then rotate the
cutting attachment shield until the screw holes align
and the guard fits into the recessed pocket (Fig. 3-3).
3. Install the screws with a Phillips screwdriver (Fig. 3-4).
