CUTTING HEAD COMPONENTS

! CAUTION
Improper installation can cause damage to the cutting
head bearings. Follow directions carefully to protect the
string trimmer from damage.
Assemble components in the order shown (see figure 13.)
1. Place the spacer and bearing cover (with the lip facing up)
onto the shaft (Figure 13).
2. Align the flats at the center of the plates with the flat on the
shaft and slide the line plate onto the shaft. Ensure they
are facing top side up as shown.
3. Place the cutting head bolt so it is sitting in the hex cavity
at the bottom of the cutting head.
4. Looking down at the top of the frame, hold the bolt
head in place with your finger and turn the cutting head
counterclockwise to start the bolt into the shaft.
5. Insert the screwdriver as shown in Figure 12 and tighten
the assembly securely by turning the cutting head
counterclockwise when looking down on the top of the
frame.
NOTE: When finished there should be no gaps between
any of the components.
! WARNING
Always make sure you remove the screwdriver from the
head assembly when finished. Failure to remove the
screwdriver could cause injury when the head assembly is
engaged.
