housing above the clamp assembly. See Figure 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. See

NOTE: The holes in the top and middle clamp will line
up only when assembled correctly.
3. Place the clamps and the J-handle over the shaft
housing and onto the bottom clamp.

finger. Start screws with a large Phillips screwdriver.
Do not tighten until you make the handle adjustment.

loosen the screws if the handle is pre-installed. See Figure

position the J-handle to the location that provides you
the best grip. See Figure 2.
7. Tighten the clamp screws evenly, until the J-handle
