IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

• Please note that the cutting blade

continues to run for a short period

after you let go of the throttle trigger

–This is called the flywheel effect.

• Do not lend or rent your power tool

without the instruction manual. Be

sure that anyone using your power

tool understands the information

contained in this manual.

• Persons with pacemakers only: The

ignition system of your power tool

produces an electromagnetic field of a

very low intensity. This field may

interfere with some pacemakers.

Consult your doctor if you have

concerns.

• Do not use a pressure washer to clean

your power tool. The solid jet of water

may damage parts of the power tool.

• Do not spray the machine with water.

• Work calmly and carefully – in

daylight conditions and only when

visibility is good. Stay alert so as not

to endanger others.

• Your power tool produces toxic

exhaust fumes as soon as the engine

is running. These fumes may be

colourless and odourless and contain

unburned hydrocarbons and benzoyl.

4 x locking nuts

4 x washers

1 x 4mm Allen key

1 x spanner

• Loosen the metal mounting bracket using

the 4mm Allen key and spanner

• Once loosened, pull the metal bracket away

from the plastic mounting on the pole.

• Place the blade guard up to the mounting

bracket.

• Make sure that the holes on the mounting

bracket and blade guard line-up.

• Insert the locking bolts through the plastic

retaining bracket on the main pole.

2 x Phillips screws

1 x small Philips screwdriver

• Locate the mounting block on the guard.

• Place the line cutting blade up to the

mounting block as shown.

• Fix the blade to the mounting block using

the two Philips screws.

• Fasten them both together using the Allen

key, locking nuts and washers.

Now that the guard is attached, we will now fix

the
