4. If the D-handle was pre-installed, loosen the wing nut
just enough so it is movable.
5. While holding the unit in the operating position,
arrange or rotate the D-handle to the location that
provides you the best grip (Fig. 2).
6. Tighten the wing nut until the D-handle is secure.

shield on your unit is not installed or if you ever need to
re-install it.

housing above the clamp assembly (Fig. 3).
2. Push the cutting attachment shield down to the top
of the cutting attachment assembly. Then rotate the
shield until its screw holes line up with the holes in
the cutting attachment. The shield guard should fit
