BLADE REPLACEMENT

WARNING:

The blade will con­

tinue to spin after the engine stops or

after the throttle trigger has been re­
leased. To avoid serious injury, make
sure the blade has stopped coasting
and disconnect the spark plug (or dis­
connect powerhead from power
source) before performing work on the
blade.

WARNING:

Wear protective

gloves when handling or performing

maintenance on the blade to avoid
injury. The blade is sharp and can cut

you even when it is not moving.

1. To remove the blade, align hole in

the dust cup with the hole in the

side of the gearbox by rotating the
blade.

2. Insert a small screwdriver into

aligned holes. This will keep the
shaft from turning while loosening

the blade nut.

binds against the shield, or appears

to be uneven, the blade is not cen­
tered, and you must reinstall.
