3. Try to remove tube from switch handle and
motor housing. If the tube remains in place,
it is properly snapped into place. If the tube
will not remain in place, repeat steps 1 and
2. Push until the tube snaps into place.
ATTACHING THE SHIELD
WARNING:
The shield must be prop-
erly installed. The shield provides partial protec-
tion from the risk of thrown objects to the opera-
tor and others. Your unit is equipped with a line
limiter pin, which cuts excess line to the proper
length while running.
NOTE: If shield is not properly installed, dam-
age to unit (including motor failure) will result.
1. Place 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 (see il-
lustration).
