Assembly
Warning! Before assembly, make sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged.
Fitting the guard (fig. A & B)
♦ Turn the trimmer upside down so that you are looking
down at the spool (10).
♦ Remove the screw from the guard with a phillips
screwdriver (not supplied).
♦ Turn the guard (9) upside down and slide it fully onto the
motor housing (7).
♦ Make sure the tabs (9a) on the guard engage the ribs
(11) on the motor housing as shown in Fig. A. The
locking tab (25) should have snapped into the housing
slot (26).
♦ Continue to slide the guard on until you hear it "snap"
into place.
♦ Insert the guard screw and tighten securely as shown in
Fig. B to complete the guard assembly.
♦ Once the guard is installed, remove the covering from
the line cut-off blade, located on the edge of the guard.
Warning! Never use the tool unless the guard is properly
fitted and firmly in place.
Attaching the auxiliary handle (Fig. C, D, E)
♦ To attach the handle (5), press in on the buttons (12) on
both sides of the upper housing as shown in Fig. C.
♦ Position the handle as shown in Fig. D, matching up the
grooved side of the handle with the grooved button.
♦ Partially push the handle on so that it will hold the
buttons in when you release them with your hand.
♦ Push the handle completely onto the housing and
position it slightly until it "snaps" into place (Fig. E).
♦ To adjust the handle up or down, press in on the button
(13) and raise or lower the handle.
♦ The handle should be adjusted so that your front arm is
straight when the trimmer is in the working position.
