Put the front grip on the front grip holder and secure it
with a hex bolt and the clamping nut provided with the
string trimmer as shown in the figure. At this time, the
hex bolt needs to be installed from the side in which the
hex bolt lock port is located and the clamping nut needs
to be installed from the opposite side.
NOTE:
The front grip has a edge-to-edge cut slit in its
•
mounting area. Using this slit allows you to easily
install the front grip on the front grip holder.
The front grip angle is adjustable. To adjust the front
grip angle, loosen the claming nut, set the front grip at
an proper angle according to your work and then tighten
the nut clockwise firmly.
