a blade cover surrounding the edge of the blade.
For safety, and to protect the blade, the cover
should be installed whenever the trimmer is not in
use.
If installing a metal blade on a Honda trimmer
equipped with a loop handle, also install the
optional barrier kit that includes a full shoulder
harness, a barrier bar, and a debris shield for
metal blades. Follow the installation instructions
and safety information that come with the kit.
Grassmeed Blades
GRASSMEED BLADE
Grass/weed blades, which may be plastic or
metal, are used as an alternative to nylon

However, blades should never be used for edging
against solid surfaces.

Weed/Brush Blades
These metal blades have chisel-shaped teeth that
are used for cutting tough field grass, thick
weeds, and light brush. They are not designed for
sawing woody material. The teeth must be sharp
for good results.
BrushNood Blades
These metal saw-tooth blades are used for
sawing through saplings, shrubs, and woody
brush. The teeth must be sharp for good results.
Brush/wood blades will also cut grass and weeds,
but they are not efficient for that purpose.
