Looks like it is a screen connected to the muffler with one screw. May have to remove that small screw and then slide it out of the slotted pocket that it sits in.

It's called a exhaust muffler for a reason.

The HS60 is a odd looking hedger when compared to the normal ones I see here.

Fish, we are talking about the spark arrester, OP has it confused with the air filter.
