ATTACHING THE SHIELD
41_ WP, I'_I_IIN(.5: The shield must be prop-
erly installed.
If shield is not properly installed,

thrown objects. Your unit is equipped with a
line limiter blade, which cuts excess line to the
proper length while running. The line limiter
blade (on underside
of shield) is sharp and
can
cut
you.

If shield is not properly installed, dam-
age to unit (including motor failure) will result.

to installation on motor housing (see following il-
lustration).
