ON/STOP SWITCH
The ON/STOP switch is located on tile

PRIMER BULB
The PRIMER BULB removes air from
the carburetor and fuel lines and fills
them with fuel. This allows you to start
the engine with fewer pulls on the
starter rope. Activate the primer bulb
by pressing it and allowing it to return
to its original form.
START LEVER
The START LEVER helps to supply fuel
to the engine to aid in starting. Acti-
vate the starting system by moving the
start lever to the START position. DO
NOT squeeze the throttle trigger until
the engine has started and runs. After
the engine starts, allow the engine to
warm-up 5 seconds, then fully
squeeze the throttle trigger to deacti-
vate the starting system (start lever
returns to RUN position).
COUPLER
The COUPLER enables optional at-
tachments to be installed on the unit.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
_WARNING: Be sure to read
the fuel information in the safety rules
before you begin. If you do not under-
stand the safety rules, do not attempt
to fuel your unit. Call 1-800-235-5878.
FUELING ENGINE
_ WARNING: Remove fuel cap

the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always
read and follow the safety rules relat-
ing to fuel before fueling your unit.
IMPORTANT
Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohot
or using ethanot or methanol) can at-
tract moisture which leads to separa-
tion and formation of acids during stor-
age. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, empty the
fuel system before storage for 30 days
or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use flesh
fuel next season.
Never use engine or carburetor clean-
er products in the fuel tank or perma-
nent damage may occur.
See the STORAGE section for addition-
al information.

CUTTINGMETHODS
_WARNING: Use minimum
speed and do not crowd the line when
cutting around hard objects (rock,
gravel, fence posts, etc.), which can
damage the trimmer head, become
entangled in the line, or be thrown
causing a serious hazard.
• The tip of the line does the cutting.
You will achieve the best perform-
ance and minimum line wear by not
crowding the line into the cutting
area. The right and wrong ways are
shown below.
Tip of line does the Line crowded into
Right
• The line wilt easily remove grass
and weeds from around walls,
fences, trees and flower beds. but it
also can cut the tender bark of trees
or shrubs and scar fences.
• For trimming or scalping, use less
than full throttle to increase line life
and decrease head wear, especially:
• During light duty cutting.
• Near objects around which the line
can wrap such as small posts,
trees or fence wire.
TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the
trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm)
above the ground and at an angle. AI-
tow only the tip of the line to make
contact with vegetation. Do not force
trimmer line into work area.
Trimming
(8 cm) above
ground
SCALPING - The scalping technique
removes unwanted vegetation down to
the ground. Hold the bottom of the trim-
mer head about 3 inches (8 cm) above
the ground and at an angle. Allow the
tip of the line to strike the ground
around trees, posts, monuments, etc.
This technique increases line wear.
Scalping
MOWING - Your trimmer is ideal for
mowing in places conventional lawn
mowers cannot reach. In the mowing
position, keep the line parallel to the
ground. Avoid pressing the head into
the ground as this can scalp the
ground and damage the tool.

SWEEPING - The fanning action of the
rotating line can be used to blow away
toose debris from an area. Keep the tine
parallel to and above the area surface
and swing the tool from side to side.

ARRESTING SCREEN
dllWARNING: The muffler on this
product contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer.
As your unit is used, carbon deposits
build up on the muffler and spark ar-
resting screen.
For normal homeowner use, however,
the muffler and spark arresting screen
will not require any service. After 50
hours of use, we recommend that your
muffler be serviced or replaced by your
Sears Service Center.

ensure the engine starts easier and
runs better. Set spark plug gap at
0.025 inch. Ignition timing is fixed and
nonadjustable.

CARBURETORADJUSTMENT
_WARNING: Keep others away
when making idle speed adjustments.
The trimmer head witt be spinning dur-
ing most of this procedure. Wear your
protective equipment and observe all
safety precautions. After making ad-
justments, the trimmer head must not
move or spin at idle speed.
The carburetor has been carefully set
at the factory. Adjustments may be
necessary if you notice any of the fol-
lowing conditions:
• Engine will not idte when the throttle is
released.
• The trimmer head moves or spins at
idle.
Make adjustments with the unit sup-
ported so the cutting attachment is off
the ground and will not make contact
with any object. Hold the unit by hand
while running and making adjustments.
Keep all parts of your body away from
the cutting attachment and muffler.
Idle Speed Adjustment
Allow engine to idle, Adjust speed until
engine runs without trimmer head
moving or spinning (idle too fast) or
engine stalling (idle speed too slow).
• Turn idle speed screw clockwise to
increase engine speed if engine
stalls or dies.
• Turn idle speed screw counterclock-
wise to decrease engine speed if
trimmer head moves or spins at idle.

Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alter-
native in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to the gasoline in the fuet
tank or fuel storage container. Follow
the mix instructions found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 3 min-
utes after adding stabilizer.
Craftsman 40:1,2-cycle engine oil (air
cooled) is already blended with fuel
stabilizer. If you do not use this Sears
oit, you can add a fuet stabilizer to
your fuel tank.
ENGINE
• Remove spark plug and pour 1 tea-
spoon of 40:1,2-cycle engine oit (air
cooled) through the spark plug
opening. Slowly pull the starter rope
8 to 10 times to distribute oil.
• Replace spark plug with new one of
recommended type and heat range.
• Clean air filter.
• Check entire unit for loose screws,
nuts, and bolts. Replace any dam-
aged, broken, or worn parts.
• At the beginning of the next season,
use only fresh fuel having the proper
gasoline to oit ratio.

son to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if it starts
to rust.
