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 ab-

normal swelling. Prolonged use in cold

weatherhas beenlinked toblood vessel dam-

age 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 operatepower tools on

a continual and regular basis must monitor

closely their physical condition and the condi-

tion of this tool.

SPECIAL NOTICE: This unit is equipped

with a temperature limiting muffler and spark

arresting screen which meets the require-

ments of California Codes 4442 and 4443. All

U.S. forest land and the states of California,

Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ore-

gon, and Washington require by law that

many internal combustion engines be

equippedwith a sparkarresting screen. Ifyou

operatein a locale where such regulations ex-

ist, you are legally responsible for maintaining

the operating condition of theseparts. Failure

to do so is a violation of the law. Refer to the

SERVICE section for maintenance of the

muffler and spark arresting screen.

ASSEMBLY

NOTE:It is normal for the fuel filter to rattle in

the empty fuel tank.

ON/OFF SWITCH

The ON/OFF SWITCH is used to stop the en-

gine. To stop engine, move switch to OFF.

CHOKE

The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine

to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by

moving choke lever to the desired position. See

STARTING YOUR ENGINE for complete start-

ing information.

PRIMER BULB

The PRIMER BULBremoves air from the car-

buretor 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 position.

THROTTLE TRIGGER

The THROTTLE TRIGGER controls engine

speed. Squeeze the trigger for full speed opera-

tion; release it for idle speed.

WARNING: Muffler is very hot during

and after use. Do not touch the muffler or al-

low combustible material such as dry grass or

fuel to do so.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel

information in the safety rules before you be-

gin. If you do not understandthe 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 un-

leaded 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. A 40:1

ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces (95 ml)

of oil with 1 gallon (4 liters) of unleaded gaso-

line. DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil.

These oils will cause engine damage. When

mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on oil

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 listed under HANDLE

FUEL WITH CAUTION.

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 en-

gine and let it run until the fuel lines and carbure-

tor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. Nev-

er use engine or carburetor cleaner products in

the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

IMPORTANT POINTS

SUse the minimum throttle speed necessary

to effectively cut hedges for optimal hedge

theON/OFF switch in the ONposition andthe

choke lever in the OFF CHOKE position and

engaging the throttle lock as directed in the

STARTING A COLD ENGINE section; then,

pull the rope to clear the engine of excess

fuel. Starting could require pulling the starter

rope many times depending on how badly the

unit is flooded. If the unit still doesn’t start, refer

to the TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call

1-800-554-6723.

each use, clean the unit and labels using a

damp cloth with a mild detergent.

SWipe off unit with a clean dry cloth.

CLEAN AIR FILTER

Air Filter

Cover

Screw

Air Filter

Cleaning the air filter:

A dirty air filter decreases engine perform-

ance and increases fuel consumption and

harmful emissions. Always clean after every

5 hours of operation.

1. Clean the cover and the area around it to

keep debris from falling into thecarburetor

chamber when the cover is removed.

2. Remove parts as illustrated.

NOTE: Do not clean filter in gasoline or other

flammable solvent. Doing so can create a fire

hazard or produce harmful evaporative emis-

sions.

3. Wash the filter in soap and water.

4. Allow filter to dry.

5. Add a few drops of oil to the filter; squeeze

filter to distribute oil.

6. Replace parts.

INSPECT MUFFLER AND SPARK

ARRESTING SCREEN

NOTE: THE SPARK ARRESTING SCREEN

ON THIS UNIT IS NOT SERVICEABLE.

For normal homeowner use, the muffler and

spark arresting screen will not require any ser-

vice.

After 50 hours of use, we recommend that

your muffler be replaced by an authorized

service dealer.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: Keep others away when

making idle speed adjustments. The blade

will be moving during most of this procedure.

Wear your protective equipment and observe

all safety precautions. When making adjust-

ments, use a screwdriver short enough to

keep your hands behind the handguard and

away from the blade. After making adjust-

ments, the blade must not move at idle speed.

The carburetor has been carefully set at the

factory. Adjustments may benecessary if you

notice any of the following conditions:

SEngine will not idle when the throttle is re-

leased.

SThe blade moves at idle.

Keep others away when making idle speed

adjustments. Make adjustments with the unit

resting on a level surface free of debris that

can be caught in the hedge trimmer blade.

Serious injury to the operator and others can

occur if the carburetor is not properly ad-

justed. Keep all parts of your body away from

the blade and muffler.

Idle Speed Adjustment

Allow engine to idle. Adjust speed until engine

runs without blademoving (idle too fast) or en-

gine stalling (idle speed too slow).

STurn idle speed screw clockwise to in-

crease enginespeedif enginestalls or dies.

STurn idle speed screw counterclockwise to

decrease engine speed if the blade moves

at idle.

WARNING: Recheck the idle speed

after each adjustment. The blade must not

move at idle speed to avoid serious injury to

the operator or others.
