guard must always be properly attached on the tool to protect the user.
• Remove the screw from the guard.
• Keeping the guard square to the trimmer head slide it into place until the retaining tab clicks

• To attach the handle, press in on the buttons (D1) on both sides of the upper housing as
shown in figure D.
• Position the handle as shown in figure E (with the Black & Decker logo facing upward). Partially
push the handle on so that it will hold the buttons in when you release them with your hand.
• Push the handle completely onto the housing and position it slightly until it "snaps" into
place (figure E).
• To adjust the handle up or down, press in on the button (F1) and raise or lower the handle.
• The handle should be adjusted so that your front arm is straight when the trimmer is in the
working position.
