Lower Clamp
4. Adjust the front-assist handle position between the rear handle housing and the joint of the shaft, as shown in Fig. 7. For ST1500F, adjust the handle position so that it is between the rear handle housing and the warning label on the shaft. Shorter users may adjust the handle to a lower position (away from you) and taller users may adjust the handle to an upper position (towards you). The handle should be adjusted so your front arm will be straight when using the trimmer.
5. Tighten the four screws so that the handle cannot be rotated on the shaft.
