On some units, the handle may be pre-installed. In this case
you must loosen hardware and adjust the handle to fit the
operator. Go to step 3 if the D-handle is pre-installed.
INSTALL AND ADJUST THE D-HANDLE
1. Push the D-handle down onto the shaft housing so that
the handle slants towards the shaft grip (Fig. 1). The
squared bolt hole in the handle is to the right.
2. Insert the shoulder bolt into the squared hole in the
handle and push through. On the left side of the handle,
place the washer on the bolt, then screw the wing nut
onto the bolt. Do not tighten until you make the handle
adjustment.
3. If the D-handle was pre-installed, loosen the wing nut on
it just enough so the handle can freely move. Rotate the
D-handle to place the grip above the top of the shaft
housing. Place it a minimum of 6 inches (15.24 cm) from
the end of the shaft grip.
4. While holding the unit in the operating position (Fig. 2),
position the D-handle to the location that provides you
the best grip.
5. Tighten the wing nut until the D-handle is secure.

INSTALLING THE CUTTING SHIELD
Use the following instructions if the cutting attachment shield
on your unit is not installed or if you ever need to re-install it.
1. Slide the cutting attachment shield into the shield mount
on the cutting attachment. Align the screw holes in the
shield with the holes in the cutting attachment shield
mount (Fig. 3).
2. Place one of the three (3) supplied hex lock nuts into one
of the three recessed holes on the top of the cutting
attachment shield (Fig 4).
3. Install a screw into the hole from the bottom of the cutting
attachment shield. Screw it into the nut installed in step 2
until it is started (Fig 5). Do not tighten.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all three screws have been
started. Then tighten all screws securely with a Phillips
head screwdriver.
WARNING: To prevent serious personal injury,
never operate the trimmer without the cutting
attachment shield in place.
