ASSEMBLY OF THE METAL SHIELD

DANGER: The metal shield must be

properiyinstalled on the tool anytime the

tool is used with the blade. The forward

top of the metal shield helps to reduce

the occurrence of blade thrust which can

cause serious injury such as amputation

to the operator or bystanders. Failure to

install the shield in the position shown

can result in serious injury to the opera-

tor. The length of the shield must be

aligned with the length of the tube. The

blade is sharp and can cut you. Be sure

to wear gloves while working with

blades.

FUELING ENGINE -

This engine is certifiedto operate on

unleaded gasoline. Before operation,

gasoline mustbe mixed with a good

quality2-cycle air-cooled engine oil.

We recommend Craftsman brand oil.

Mix gasoline and oil at a ratioof 40:1

(A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing3.2

ounces of oil with I gallon of unleaded

gasoline). DO NOTUSE automotive oil

or boat oil. These oils will cause

engine damage. When mixingfuel,

IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcohol

blended fuels (called gasohol or using

ethanolor methanol)can attract mois-

turs which leadsto separation and

formationof acids duringstorage.

Acidicgas can damage the fuel sys-

tam 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, startthe

engine and let it run untilthe fuel lines

and carburetor are empty. Use fresh

fuel nextseason.

Never use engine or carburetor clean-

er products in the fuel tank or perma-

nent damage may occur.

•Right hand holding control handle,

with fingers on throttle tdgger.

•Engine below waist level.

•Shoulder strap pad centered on left

shoulder.

•Danger sign centered on your back.

•Full weight of toot on left shoulder.

•Without operator bending over, the

blade or semi-automatic head is near

and parallel to the ground and easily

contacts material to be cut.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR

USE WITH TRIMMER HEAD

Bring the engine to cutting speed be-

fore entering the material to be cut.

Do not run engine at a higher speed

than necessary. The cuttigg line-willo_

efficiently when engine is run at less

than full throtlJe. At lower speeds, there

is less engine noise and vibration. The

cutting line will last longer and will be

less likely to "weld' onto the spool.

If the trimmer head does not tum when

the engine is in operation, make sure

the drive shaft housing is properly

seated in engine shroud.

Always release the throttle trigger and

allow the engine to retum to idle speed

when not cutting.

To stop engine:

•Release the throttle tdgger.

• Move the On/Stop switch to the

STOP position.

• if engine does not stop, move choke

to the Full Choke position.

ADVANCING THE TRIMMER UNE

The trimmer line will advance approxi-

mately 2 in. (5 cm) each time bottom of

trimmer head is tapped on the ground

with the engine running at full throttle.

The most efticient line length is the

maximum length allowed by line lirniter.

Always keep the shield in place when

the tool is being operated.

To Advance Line:

•Operate the engine at full throttle.

•Hold the trimmer head parallel to and

above the grassy area.

•Tap, bottom of trimrner head lightly on

ground one time. Approximately 2 in.

(5 cm) of line wig be advanced with

each tap. The line limiter on _shield

will cut line to the correct length.

Always_ap the trimmer head on a

grdsey_ma. Tapping on surfaces such

as concrete or asphalt can cause ex-

cessive wear tothe trimmer head.

If lineis worn downto 2 in.(5 cm) or

less, more than one tap willbe required

to obtainthe mostefficientlinelength.

WARNING: Use only .080" (1.6 mm)

diameter line. Other sizes of line will

notadvance propedy and can cause

serious injury.Do notuse other materi-

als such as wire, stdng, rope, etc. Wire

can break off duringcuttingand be-

come a dangerous missilethat can

cause serious injury.

CUTrlNG METHODS

WARNING: Use minimum speed and

do not crowd the line when cutting

around hard objects (rock, gravel,

fence pests, etc.), which can damage

the trimmer head, become entangled

in the line, or be thrown causing a seri-

ous hazard.

•The tip of the line does the cutting.

You will achieve best performance and

minimum line wear by not crowding

line into the cuffing area. The right and

wrong ways are shown below.

Tip of the Line Une Crowded Into

DoesThe Cutting Work Area

Right :_._'_"_

•The line will easily remove grass and

weeds from aroundwalls, fences,

trees and flower beds, but it also can

cutthe tender bark of trees or shrubs

and scar fences. To help avoid darn-

age especiallyto delicate vegetation

or trees with tender bark, shorten line

to 4-5 in. (10-13 cm) and use at less

than full throttle.

• For trimmingor scalping, use less

than fullthrottleto increase line life

and decrease head wear, especially:.

•During lightduty cutting.

•Near objectsaround which the line

can wrap such as small posts,

tress or fence wire.

•For mowingor sweeping, use full

throttle for a good clean job.

WARNING: Alwayswear eye protec-

tion. Never lean over the trimmer head.

Racks or debds can ricochetor be

thrown intoeyes and face and cause

blindnessor other serious injury.

you can reduce the chance of its oc-

cur_g, and how you can remain in

control of unit if blade thrust occurs.

•WHAT CAUSES BLADE THRUST

Blade Thrust can occur when spinning

tactsoperator or others.

•WHEN BLADE THRUST OCCURS.

Blade thrust can occur without wam-

ing if the blade snags, stalls, or

binds. This is more likely to occur in

areas where it is difficult to see the

material being cut. By using the unit

properly, the occurrence of blade

thrust will be reduced and the opera-

tor will be less likely to lose control.

•Cut only grass, weeds, and wcody

brush up to 1/2 inch in diameter with

weed blade. Do not let blade contact

material it cannot cut such as stumps,

rocks, fences, metal, etc., or clusters

of hard, woody brush with a diameter

greater than that recommended.

•Use a sharp blade. A dull blade is

more likely to snag and thrust.

•Cut only at full throttle. The blade will

have maximum cutting power and is

leas likely to bind or stall.

•"Feed" the blade deliberately and not

too rapidly. The blade can thrust

away if it is fed too rapidly.

•Cut only from your dght to your lefL

Swinging unit in the same direction as

blade spin increases cutting action.

•Use the shoulder strap and keep a

firm grip on the unit with both hands.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: The trimmer head or

blade will be spinning dudng most of this

procedure. Wear protective equipment

and observe all safety precautions. After

making mixture adjustment, resheck-

.idle speed.

Carburetor adjustment is cdfical and if

done improperly can permanently

damage the engine as well as the car-

buretor. If you require further assis-

tance or are unsure about performing

this procedure, call our customer as-

sistance help line at 1-800-235-5878.

Old fuel, a dirty air filter, a dirty fuel fil-

ter, or flooding may give the impres-

sion of an improperly adjusted carbu-

retor. Check these conditions before

adjusting the carburetor.

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 idle. See =Idle Speed"

under adjusting procedure.

• Engine dies or hesitates instead of

accelerating. See "Acceleration

Check" under adjusting procedure.

•Loss of cutting power. See "Mixture

Adjustment" under adjusting

procedure.

There are three adjustment screws on

the carburetor. The low speed adjust-

ment screw is marked with the letter L,

and the high speed adjustment screw

is marked with the letter H. The third

screw is the idle adjustment screw.
