This is the front-assist handle assembly that comes with 4 screws that secure it in place. It is black with an over molding for added comfort and grip. It is the handle that is located about halfway down the shaft. Replace it if it is cracked, warped, bent, or damaged in any way. For this repair, disconnect the battery, loosen the 4 screws in the handle with a hex wrench (might have been included with your equipment) and remove the screws and lower clamp from the handle. Attach the front-assist handle and lower clamp on the shaft and secure them by pre-tightening the screws. Turn the front assist handle upwards so that it points toward the top of the handle. Adjust the handle position so it is between the rear handle housing and the warning label on the shaft. The handle can be adjusted according to your height. It should be adjusted so your front arm is straight while using the trimmer. Tighten the 4 screws so that the handle cannot be rotated on the shaft.Be sure to keep the handles dry, clean, free from oil and grease, and inspected on a regular basis. Never use harsh detergents on the handle as it can be damaged by certain oils, such as pine and lemon. Never use solvents such as kerosene. Always wipe off any wetness with a gentle dry cloth.
