Handle
WARNING!
A standard grass trimmer unit with loop handle should NEVER be operated
with blade-type attachments. For blade use, the trimmer must be fitted with a
bicycle-type handlebar or barrier bar that is located in front of the operator to
reduce the risk of the operator coming in contact with the cutting attachment.
(Per ANSI B175.3). When using a blade, the unit must be equipped with a
harness or strap.
1. Remove bolt (A) and remove handle spacer (B).
2. Position the handle forward of the Handle Positioning Label (D) at the best position for
operator comfort.
3. Install barrier bar (C) and secure with bolt (A).
