Installing blade
Wear heavy duty gloves when working with the trimmer blade.
When replacing the trimmer blade during a trimming task, ensure that the engine is switched off and that the blades
have stopped.
When turning the product over to replace the trimmer blade, ensure that the fuel tank cap is securely in place.
Do not attempt to fit the trimmer blade with one hand or without using the socket spanner. Fit the trimmer blade ac-
curately using the supplied socket spanner and tighten firmly in position.
Do not use any tools other than the provided socket spanner to tighten the blade; a pneumatic or electric tool may
tighten the blade more than necessary and cause the nut or the output shaft to break.
If worn nut and cup for blade are used, there is a danger of blade getting loose. Replace them with new one.
Failure to do so could lead to an injury or serious accident, or cause a fire.
1. Fit shield (A) to mounting portion of angle transmission and
tighten 4 bolts (B).

sively for metal blade. When using nylon line cutting head, use
the shield for nylon line cutting head.

move it.
3. Put shield of other type (E) into groove and slide it to the right
until it stops. Be sure to tighten the bolt.

1. Inspect blades (C) before installation. Check for sharpness.
Dull blades increase the risk of blade kickback reac-
tions.Small cracks can develop into fractures resulting in a
piece of blade flying off during operation. Discard cracked
blades no matter how small the crack.

retainer (D), cup (E), and nut (F) by hand.
