NOTE: If your unit has been as-
sembled for trimmer head use, refer to
the section "ATTACHING THE PLASTIC
SHIELD AND TRIMMER HEAD" and re-
verse the steps to remove the plastic
shield and trimmer head before you
mount the metal shield and blade.
Store these parts for future use. Never
use the trimmer head with the metal
blade installed.
ASSEMBLY OF THE METAL SHIELD
DANGER: The metal shield must be
properly installed on the tool anytime
the tool is used with the blade. The for-
ward top of the metal shield helps to
reduce the occurrence of blade thrust
which can cause serious injury such
as amputation to the operator or by-
standers. Failure to install the shield in
the position shown can result in seri-
ous injury to the operator. The length
of the shield must be aligned with the
length of the tube. The blade is sharp
and can cut you. Be sure to wear
gloves while working with blades.
• Place the metal shield under the
gearbox, and align the screw holes.
• Insert the 4 mounting screws
through the bottom of the shield.
Thread them into the gearbox. Tight-
en evenly and securely with one of
the hex wrenches provided.

ASSEMBLY OF THE METAL BLADE
WARNING: Do not use any blades or
fastening hardware other than those il-
lustrated in this manual. These items
must be Craftsman parts and installed
as shown below. Failure to use proper
parts can cause the blade to fly off and
seriously hurt you or others.
NOTE: The weed blade is reversible; it
can be installed with either side facing
up. The brushblade must be installed
with the correct side facing up. The cor-
rect side will be marked on the blade. If
you are re-installing an older blade and
the writing has worn off, install it using
the following illustration as a guide.
