only loosening screws and some adjustment. If this is the case,
go to step 4.

installed on the D-handle for shipping.
2. Place D-handle the over the shaft housing and onto the
bottom clamp (Fig. 1). Place it a minimum of 6 inches
(15.24 cm) from the end of the shaft grip.
INSTALLING THE CU'R'ING A'R'ACHMENT SHIELD

on your unit is not installed or if you ever need to re-install it.

the cutting attachment shield in place to prevent
serious personal injury.

3. Start screws with a large Flat-head or T-25 Torx
screwdriver. Do not tighten until you make the handle
adjustment.

handle just enough to move it.

position the D-handle to the location that provides you the
best grip.
6. Tighten the clamp screws evenly, until the D-handle is
secure.
