owners manual supplied with your grass trimmer. Be sure to
follow all warnings and safety instructions. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury to the operator and/or bystanders.
2.) Wear eye protection that complies with ANSI Z87-1 std.

Many gear cases utilize a separate piece or cover which includes
a mounting shoulder which is used to hold and center cutting

head to be held flush and tight, BOTH the mounting spacer (first)
and washer (second) must be used as shown in Ref. 4.

such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which can be
thrown or become entangled in the cutting head. Clear the area
of children, bystanders, and pets in a 50 foot (15m) radius. It is
recommended that bystanders wear eye protection. If you are
approached, stop the engine and cutting attachment immediately.
