4. Assembly and Setup
Follow these steps to assemble your Aokia Cordless Weed Wacker.
4.1 Attaching the Protection Cover and Anti-Collision Bar

Image 4.1.2: The anti-collision bar, which protects plants and the weed wacker from damage during use.
Securely attach the grass protection cover and the anti-collision bar to the trimmer head. These components are crucial for user safety and protecting the device and surrounding plants.
4.2 Blade Installation
The Aokia Cordless Weed Wacker supports various blade types for different cutting needs. We strongly recommend using metal blades for most applications due to their durability and effectiveness. Plastic blades are prone to breakage and should be used for very light trimming only.
Image 4.2.1: Examples of metal blades (top) and circular saw blades (bottom) for the weed wacker. Metal blades are suitable for general weeding, while circular blades are for tougher branches.
Refer to the following steps for blade installation:

It shows removing the metal base, installing the grass protection cover, attaching the anti-collision bar, reinstalling the metal base, placing the blade and iron piece, and finally tightening the nut with the L-type socket wrench.
- Step 1: Remove the Metal Base. Use the provided wrench to remove the nut and blade counter-clockwise.
- Step 2: Install the Grass Protection Cover. Slide the grass protection cover into position.
- Step 3: Install the Anti-Collision Bar. Attach the anti-collision bar to the trimmer head.
- Step 4: Install the Metal Base. Place the metal base back onto the shaft.
- Step 5: Install the Blade and Iron Piece. Position your chosen blade (metal or circular) and the iron piece onto the shaft.
- Step 6: Tighten the Nut. Use the wrench to tighten the nut clockwise until secure. Ensure the blade is firmly attached and does not wobble.
4.3 Adjusting the Length and Handle
The weed wacker features a detachable extension pole, allowing for three different lengths: 32 inches, 48 inches, and 65 inches, to suit various gardening tasks and user heights.
