CUTTING
SAFETY
SAFETY NOTICE:
Exposure to vibrations
through prolonged use of gasoline powered
hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve
damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of
people prone to circulation disorders or abnormal swellings.
Prolonged use in cold
weather has been linked to blood vessel damage in otherwise healthy people. If symptoms
occur such as numbness,
pain, loss of
strength, change in skin color or texture, or
loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints,
discontinue the use of this tool and seek medical attention. An anti-vibration
system does
not guarantee the avoidance of these problems. Users who operate power tools on a
continual and regular basis must monitor
closely their physical condition and the condition of this tool.
_WARNING:
Inspect the area before
each use. Remove objects (rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, etc.) which can be thrown
by or become entangled in line. Hard objects
can damage the trimmer head and be thrown
causing serious injury.
• Use only for trimming, scalping, mowing and
sweeping. Do not use for edging, pruning or
hedge trimming.
• Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
• Keep all parts of your body away from muffler
and spinning line. Keep engine below waist
level. A hot muffler can cause sedous bums.
• CL_from your right to your left. Cutting on left
side of the shield will throw debris away from

• Use only in daylight or good artificial light.
• Use only for jobs explained in this manual.
TRANSPORTING
AND STORAGE
• Allow engine to cool; secure unit before storing or transporting in vehicle.
• Empty the fuel tank before storing or transporting the unit. Use up fuel left in the carburetor by starting the engine and letting it run until
it stops.

equipped with asparkarresting
screen. Ifyou
operate in e locale where such regulations exist, you are legally responsible for maintaining
the operating condition of these parts. Failure
to do so is a violation of the law. For normal
homeowner use, 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 authorized service dealer.

SWITCH
The ON/STOP switch is used to stop engine. To
stop the engine, push and release the engine
ON/STOP switch.
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.
CHOKE
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
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.
HOW TO STOP YOUR UNIT
• To stop the engine, push and release the
engine ON/STOP switch. The switch will
automatically
return to the ON position.
Wait 5 seconds before attempting to restart
unit to allow switch to reset.
• If engine does not stop, move choke to the
FULL CHOKE position.
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine
to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by
moving the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE
position. After the engine attempts to start, move
the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.
Once engine has started, move the choke lever
to the OFF CHOKE position.
A
all, 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
1-800-554-6723.
FUELING ENGINE
_ WARNING:
Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be
mixed with a good quality synthetic 2-cycle
air-cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at a
ratio of 40:1. Poulan/Weed
Eater brand
synthetic oil is recommended. Mix gasoline and
oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by
mixing 3.2 ounces (95 ml) of oil with 1 gallon (4
liters) of unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE
automotive oil or boat oil. These oils will cause
engine damage. When mixing fuel, follow
instructions printed on container. Once oil is
added to gasoline, shake container momentarily
to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed.

WARNING: Always wear eye protection. Never lean over the trimmer head.
Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into
eyes and face and cause blindness or other
serious injury.
Do not run the engine at a higher speed than
necessary. The cutting line will cut efficient{y
when the engine is run at less than full throttle.
At lower speeds, there is less engine noise and
vibration. The cutting line wUl 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 release the engine ON/STOP
switch.

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.
The most efficient line length is the maximum
length allowed by the line Iimiter.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. Approximately 2 in.
(5 cm) of line will be advanced with each
tap.
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 worn down to 2 inches (5 cm) or
less, more than one tap will be required to obtain the most efficient line length.
_ WARNING:
• 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.
• For mowing or sweeping, use full throttle for
a good clean job.
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.

SCALPING
- The scalping technique removes unwanted
vegetatioedown
to the
ground. 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 the
ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc.
This technique increases line wear.
Scalping
........
Useonly0.080"(2 mm)
diameter line. Other sizes and shapes of line
will not advance properly and will result in improper cutting head function orcen 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 serious injury.
CUTTING
/
METHODS
_WARNING:
Use minimumspeed
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.
Tip of the Line
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 for a quick and easy
clean up. Keep the line parallel to and above
the surfaces being swept and move the tool
from side to side.
Sweeping
• 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.
