If you do not understand the safety rules, do not attempt to fuel your unit. Call 1-800-235-5878. FUELING ENGINE This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be mixed with a good quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil. We recommend Craftsman brand oil. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1 (A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline). DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil. These oils will cause engine damage. When mixing fuel, ]iRe ]imJter Blade vats the primer bulb by pressing it and allowing it to return to its original form. CHOKE The choke helps to supply fuel to the carburetor during starting. This allows you to start a cold engine. Ac_ste the choke by moving choke lever to the Pull posi_on. A_er the engine has started, move the choke to the OFF position. follow instructions printed on container. Once oil is added to gasoline, shake container momentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit. IMPORTANT Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. 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 fresh fuel next season. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. See the STORAGE section for additional information.

OPERATING OPERATING proximately 2 in. (5 cm) of line will be advanced with each tap. To advance line, tap bottomoftrimmer head on ground onetime. INSTRUCTIONS POSITION L_e_chuts ALWAYSWEAR:Long Pants _ _eE_e Protec_on Heavy Shoes _l Cut from your right to your leA. Bring the engine to cutting speed before entering the material to be cut. 0o not run the engine at a higher speed than necessary. The cuing line will cut efficiently when the engine is run at less than full throttle. At lower speeds, there is less engine noise and vibration. The cutting line will last longer and will be less likely to '_'eld" onto the spool. If the trimmer head does not turn 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 return to idle speed when not cutting. To stop engine: • Release the throttle trigger. • Push and hold down the on/stop switch until the engine has stopped completely. TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE The trimmer line will advance approximately 2 in. (5 cm) each time the bottom of the trimmer head is tapped on the ground with the engine running at full throttle. 'ine t° _l Always tap the trimmer head on a grassy area. Tapping on surfaces such as concrete or asphalt can cause excessive wear to the trimmer head. If the line is wom down to 2 in. (5 cm) or less, more than one tap will be required to obtain the most efficient line length. _,WARNING:Use only .080" (2 mm) diameter line. Other sizes of line will not advance properly and can cause serious injury. Do not use other materials such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and become a dangerous missile that can cause sedous injury. CuI-rlNG _ METHODS 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 performance and minimum line wear by not crowding the line into the cutting area. The right and wrong ways are shown below. 3]p of the Line Line Crowded Into Does The Cutting Work Area The most efficient line length is the maximum length allowed by the line limiter. 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 the bottom of the trimmer head lightly on the ground one time. Ap- • The line will 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. To help avoid damage especially to delicate vegetation or trees with tender bark, shorten line to 4-5 in. (10-13 cm) and use at less than full throttle. • For tdmming 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. • For mowing or sweeping, use full throttle for a good clean job. 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. _a W be thrown into eyes and face and cause blindness or other sedous injury. TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 in. (8 cm) above the ground and at an angle. Allow only the tip of the line to make contact. Do not force trimmer line into work area. Trimming :_ • i i f*J ,,.,*_ _. SWEEPING - The fanning action of the rota_ng line can be used for a quick and easy clean up.
