NOTE: Remove the blade and metal shield be-
fore attaching the plastic shield and trimmer
head. To remove blade, align hole in the dust
cup with the hole in the side of the gearbox by
rotating the blade. Insert a small screwdriver
into aligned holes. This will keep the shaft from
turning while loosening the blade nut. Remove
blade nut by turning clockwise. Remove the
screwdriver. Remove both washers and blade.
