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 swellings. Prolonged use in cold  
weather has been linked to blood 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 med-  
ical attention. An anti--vibration system does  
not guarantee the avoidance of these prob-  
lems. Users who operate power 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  
equipped with a spark arresting screen. If you  
operate in a locale where such regulations ex-  
ist, 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 arrest-  
ing screen will not require any service. After  
50 hours of use, we recommend that your  
muffler be serviced or replaced by an autho-  
rized service dealer.  
CUTTING SAFETY  
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.  
S Use only for trimming, scalping, mowing, edg-  
ing and sweeping. Do not use for pruning or  
hedge trimming.  
S Keep firm footing and balance. Do not over-  
reach.  
S Keep all parts of your body away from muffler  
and spinning line. Keep engine below waist  
level. A hot muffler can cause serious burns.  
S Cut from your left to your right. Cutting on  
right side of the shield will throw debris away  
from the operator.  
S Use only in daylight or good artificial light.  
S Use only for jobs explained in this manual.  
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE  
S Allow engine to cool before storing or trans-  
porting in vehicle.  
S Empty the fuel tank before storing or trans-  
porting the unit. Use up fuel left in the carbu-  
retor by starting the engine and letting it run  
until it stops.  
S Store unit and fuel in area where fuel vapors  
cannot reach sparks or open flames from  
water heaters, electric motors or switches,  
furnaces, etc.

The ON/STOP switch is used to stop the  
engine. To stop the engine, push and release  
the engine ON/STOP switch.  
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.  
PRIMER BULB  
The PRIMER BULB removes 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 form.  
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, 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.
