your unit is equipped with.

1. Place the cutting attachment shield onto the shaft
housing. Be sure the guard mounting bracket slides
into the slot on the edge of the cutting shield. Rotate
the shield into place, counterclockwise. The holes in

To prevent serious
personal injury,
never operate the trimmer without the
cutting attachment shield in place.
WARNING:

bolt through the hole until the threaded end protrudes
