ATTACHING THE SHIELD

WARNING: The shield must be prop-

erly installed. The shield provides partial

protection from the risk of thrown objects to

the operator and others. Your unit is equipped

with a line limiter blade, which cuts excess

line to the proper length while running. The

line limiter blade (on underside of shield) is

sharp and can cut you.

NOTE: If shield is not properly installed, dam-

age to unit (including motor failure) will result.

1. Align the installation arrow on the shield

with the installation arrow on the motor

housing (see illustration below).

2. Insert the shield onto the motor housing.

Ensure the cutting head remains free to

rotate and the line is not caught between

the shield and the motor housing.

3. Twist the shield as illustrated until it snaps

securely into place. Make sure the shield

is assembled to the unit as shown in the

illustration below and in the KNOW

YOUR UNIT section of this manual.
