Assembling the Edger Attachment to the
Powerhead (Fig.A,B, E)
1. The upper powerhead pole
5
is equipped with three
latching holes
6
,
7
,
8
for the latching button
9
.
2. When installing the edger attachment pole
3
into the
upper powerhead pole
5
, use the arrows
10
to align
the latching button
9
with latching hole
6
, as shown
in Fig. B
NOTE: To properly engage the latching button
9
with
the latching hole
6
, slightly rotate the powerhead
pole
5
and move it axially until the latching button
engages the latching hole.
DO NOT insert the latching button into latching hole
7
,
or
8
. Doing so will position the edger head in an
incorrect orientation which could create a safety hazard.
Latching holes 
7
and
8
are for otherattachments.
3. Turn the knob
4
to secure theattachment.
4. When properly assembled, it should look like Fig. E. If it
does not, do not use, disassemble and re‑align the edger
attachment
3
so the latching button
9
engages with
latching hole
6
as shown in Fig. B.

WARNING: Always check to make sure that the knobs
are completely secured in place. If the knobs are not
completely secured it could result in the assemblies
becoming disconnected creating a hazardous
condition. Periodically check the connections to ensure
that the knobs are completely secured inplace.
NOTE: Ensure the attachment is fully engaged and the
knob is fully tightened before operating. Check for proper
engagement and tightness duringuse.
