I recently bought a new KM straight shaft strimmer attachment, previously i had the bent shaft one but its now knackered.
The guard that comes with the new one is the usual huge cumbersome thing, i hate it! a lot of my strimming is path edges with the machine held up at an angle accordingly. Trouble is now i cant see what im doing because of the stupidly large guard, the one on the bent shaft attachment was smaller allowing you to see what your doing.
There is a different/smaller guard available 4133 007 1006 but from what i can work out its not available in the UK
I spoke to F R Jones about fitting a different guard when i bought the new attachment, but they said no others will fit, plus it would invalidate any guarantee anyway.
So, question is, has any one else managed to find one of said above guards or fitted another from a different machine?

I always thought the large guard was fitted to the KM-MB attachment and a smaller guard with line cutter was fitted to the KM-AC?
I know some there was some little trick of buying one attachment that could be used for both AC & MB use...can't remember what it was, but FRJ's are really good and would guess their advice is watertight.
I think your right Gary
Now that you've said that i realised i actually bought the KM-MB and a new autocut 25-2 head so i could swap them around if needed, fitted the strimmer head and completely forgot about the metal blade!
Doh!! too late now ive used it! had a look at FRJ's website and they do appear to list a guard 41330071007 that fits the same machines as the bigger guard does and therefore will also fit the KM attachment
