On some units, the D-handle may be preinstalled and
only require loosening the screws and adjusting the
D-handle to the operator. Go to step 4 for adjusting the
D-handle if preinstalled.
INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE D-HANDLE
1. Remove the screws, nuts and bottom clamp piece
that were installed on the D-handle for shipping.
2. Place D-handle the over the shaft housing and onto
the bottom clamp (Fig. 3-1). Place it a minimum of
6 inches (15.24 cm) from the end of the shaft grip.
3. Hold each hex nut in the bottom clamp recess with
a finger. Start screws with a screwdriver. Do not
tighten until you make the handle adjustment.
4. If it was preinstalled, loosen the screws on the
D-handle just enough to move the D-handle.
5. While holding the unit in the operating position
(Fig. 3-2), position the D-handle to the location
that provides you the best grip.
6. Tighten the clamp screws evenly, until the D-handle
is secure.
INSTALLING THE CUTTING ATTACHMENT
SHIELD
Use the following instructions if the cutting attachment
shield on your unit is not installed.
Never operate the trimmer without the cutting
attachment shield in place to prevent serious
personal injury.
1. Place the cutting attachment shield onto the shaft
housing above the clamp assembly (Fig. 3-3).
2. Push the cutting attachment shield down to the top
of the cutting attachment assembly and then rotate
the cutting attachment shield until the screw holes
align and the guard fits into the recessed pocket
(Fig. 3-3).
3. Install the four (4) screws with a Phillips screwdriver
(Fig. 3-4).
