WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel

information in the safety rules before

you begin. If you do not understand

the safety rules, do not attempt to fuel

your unit. Call the 1-800 number listed

on the front of this manual.

FUELING ENGINE

This engine is certified to0perate 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:I ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2

ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded

gasoline). DO NOT USE automotive oil

or boat oi!.These oils will cause

engine damage. When mixing fuel,

follow instructions printed on container.

the primer bulb by pressing it and al-

lowing it to return to its original form.

CHOKE

The choke helps to supply fuel to the

carburetor during starting. This allows

you to start ac0ld engine. Activate the

choke by moving the choke lever to

the Full position. After the engine has

started, move choke to the Off position.

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 mois-

ture which leads to separation and

formation of acids during storage.

Acidic gas can damage the fuel sys-

tem of an engine while in storage.

To avoid engine problems, empty fuel

system before storage for 30 days or

longer. Drain gas tank, start engine and

let it run until fuel lines and carburetor

are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.

Never use engine or carburetor clean-

er products in the fuel tank or perma-

nent damage may occur.

Starting Position

•Slowly press the primer bulb 6 times.

•Move knob to FULL choke position.

Knob

Cut from your right I left.

Do not run the engine at a higher speed

than necessary. The cutting line will cut

efficiently when the engine is run at less

than full throttle. At lower speeds, there

is less engine noiseand vibration, The

cutting line will last longer and will be

less likely to "weld" onto the spool.

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 the engine stop

switch in the STOP or OFF position

until the unit has fully stopped.

TWIST-N-EDGE

• Pull the tab toward the engine.

•Twist the tube to the edging position;

release tab.

•Squeeze and hold trigger through all

remaining steps.

• Pull starter handle until engine at-

tempts to start, but no more than 5

pulls.

• Move knob to HALF choke position.

• Pull starter handle until engine runs,

• Allow engine to run 10 seconds, then

move knob to OFF choke position.

RESTARTING A WARM ENGINE

• Move knob to OFF choke position.

ToAdvance Line:

•Operate the engineat full throttle.

• Holdthe trimmerhead parallelto and

•Tap the bottom of the trimmer head

lightly on the ground one time. Ap-

proximately.2 in. (5 cm) of line will be

advanced with each tap.

To advance line, tap bottom of trimmer

headon ground one time.

Line limiter cuts line :

proper length.

Always tap the trimmer head on a

grassy area. Tapping on surfaces such

as concrete or asphalt can cause ex-

cessive wear to the trimmer head,

If 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 wil!

not advance properly and can cause

serious injury. Do not use other materi-

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

can break off during cutting and be-

come a dangerous missile that can

cause seriou s injury.

•For trimming or scalping, use less

•During light duty cutting.

• Near 0bjectsaround which the line

can wrap such as small posts,

WARNING::AIways wear eye protec-

tion. Never lean over the trimmer head.

Rocks or debris can ricochet or be

thrown into eyes and face and cause

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.

SCALPING - The scalping technique

removes unwanted vegetation. Hold

the bottom of the trimmer head about 3

in. (8 cm) above the ground and at an

angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike
