BLADE REPLACEMENT
SAFETY RULES
1. Shut down the trimmer to make certain the blade cannot turn while working with
the blade.
2. Make certain the correct shield is securely attached and in the correct position.
3. Always wear gloves when working with the blade.
4. Never attempt to sharpen the blade. If the blade is dull, cracked, bent or out of
balance replace the blade with the replacement blade made specifically for this
unit. A worn, damaged or cracked blade can beak and pieces of the damaged
blade can become dangerous projectiles. Although aftermarket blades may fit
this unit, it is potentially dangerous to put these blades on your unit. Use only a
new 4 point 8 inch brush blade intended for this unit.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:
1. Insert a 1/8 in., 4 mm hex tool or equivalent fully into the gear case hole.
2. Turn the blade until you feel the tool drop into the hole in cover plate/spacer A. Verify the blade
does not turn. The blade nut is a left-hand thread. Turn clockwise to loosen and counter-
clockwise to tighten. Make sure the tool remains in the hole, then loosen the blade nut as
shown. Pay attention to the order and orientation of the parts as they are removed.
3. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten the blade nut with a torque wrench.
Blade nut torque: 14 ft-lb
