⚠ WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, wear goggles or safety glasses at all times when operating this unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in dusty locations.

Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or line, that can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting attachment. Clear the area of children, bystanders, and pets. At a minimum, keep all children, bystanders, and pets at least 15m away; there still may be risk to bystanders from thrown objects. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye protection.

1. Place the gear case of the ROTOCUT head against a solid surface. Clamp the up and down blades with pliers or in a vise, then use the wrench to loosen the nut (Fig. D2).

1. Remove the nut, gliding bowl, washer, support cup, down blade, up blade, and shaft cup in sequence as Fig. D1 shown.

1. Before installing new blades, put the shaft cup on the shaft (Fig. D3). Put the top blade with a big hexagonal hole onto the shaft with the surface printed “EGO” logo facing toward the gear case (Fig. D4), then put the bottom blade with a small hexagonal hole onto the shaft with the surface printed “EGO” logo facing toward the operator (Fig. D5).

NOTICE: Make sure the hexagon holes on the blades and hexagon shaft shoulder fit in place. Otherwise, once the blades are mounted reversely, the ROTOCUT ATTACHMENT cannot work correctly and will damage the blades.

1. Follow the sequence shown in Fig. D1 to reassemble them.
