protection when operating this unit. Wear a face or
dust mask if the operation is dusty.
Wear heavy long pants, boots, gloves and a long
sleeve shirt. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, short
pants, sandals or go barefoot. Secure hair above
shoulder level.
The cutting attachment shield must always be in place
while operating the unit as a trimmer. Do not operate
unit without both trimming lines extended, and the
proper line installed. Do not extend the trimming line
beyond the length of the shield.
This unit has a clutch. The cutting attachment remains
stationary when the engine is idling. If it does not, have
the unit adjusted by an authorized service technician.
Adjust the handle to your size in order to provide the
best grip.
Be sure the cutting attachment is not in contact with
anything before starting the unit.
Use the unit only in daylight or good artificial light.

CC4090 ONLY:
WHILE OPERATING WITH
CUTTING BLADE
Read and understand all safety warnings before
operating this unit.
Always use the shoulder harness when using the
brush blade accessory.
Keep the J-handle between the operator and cutting
attachment or blade at all times.
NEVER cut when the cutting blade is 30 inches
(76 cm) or more above the ground level.
Blade thrust may occur when the spinning blade
contacts an object that it does not immediately cut.
Blade thrust can be violent enough to propel the unit
and/or operator in any direction, possibly causing a loss
of control. Blade thrust can occur without warning if the
blade snags, stalls or binds. This is more likely to occur
in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut.
For operation with the brush blade, do not cut
anything thicker than 1/2 inch or a violent kickback
could occur.
5
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Do not attempt to touch or stop the blade when it is
rotating.
•A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues to
spin after the engine is stopped or the throttle trigger
is released. Maintain proper control until the blade has
completely stopped rotating.
Do not run the unit at high speed when not cutting.
If you strike or become entangled with a foreign
object, stop the engine immediately and check for
damage. Have any damage repaired before attempting
further operations. Do not operate unit with a bent,
cracked or dull blade. Discard blades that are bent,
warped, cracked or broken.
Do not sharpen the cutting blade. Sharpening the blade
can cause the blade tip to break off while in use. This
can result in severe personal injury. Replace the blade.
Do not use the cutting blade for edging or as an edger;
severe personal injury to yourself or others may incur.
Use the cutting blade only for the purpose described
in this manual.
Stop the engine IMMEDIATELY if you feel excessive
vibration. Vibration is a sign of trouble. Inspect
thoroughly for loose nuts, bolts or damage before
continuing. Repair or replace affected parts as
necessary.
After Use
Clean cutting blades with a household cleaner to
remove any gum buildup. Oil the blade with machine
oil to prevent rust.
Lock up and store the cutting blade in an appropriate
area to protect the blade from unauthorized use or
damage.

OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION
RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE
Using the proper type and weight of oil in
the crankcase is extremely important.
Check the oil before each use and change
the oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or using
dirty oil, can cause premature engine wear and failure.
Use a high-quality SAE 30 weight oil of API (American
Petroleum Institute) service class SF, SG, SH.
ADDING OIL TO CRANKCASE: INITIAL USE
NOTE: This unit is shipped without oil. In order to avoid
damage to the unit, put oil in the crankcase
before you attempt to start the unit.
Your unit is supplied with one 3.4 fluid oz. (100 ml.)
bottle of SAE 30 SF, SG, SH oil (Fig. 16).
NOTE: Save the bottle of oil. It can be used to measure
the correct amount during future oil changes.

Gas Can Spout
2. Place the gas container’s spout into the fill hole on
the fuel tank (Fig. 19) and fill the tank.
NOTE: Do not overfill the tank.
3. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.
4. Reinstall the fuel cap.
5. Move the unit at least 30 ft. (9.1 m) from the fueling
source and site before starting the engine.
NOTE: Dispose of the old gasoline in accordance to
Federal, State and Local regulations.
RECOMMENDED FUEL TYPE
Old fuel is the primary reason for improper unit
performance. Be sure to use fresh, clean, unleaded
gasoline.
NOTE: This is a four cycle engine. In order to avoid
damage to the unit, do not mix oil with
gasoline.
Definition of Blended Fuels
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and
oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol or MTBE (ether).
Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1%
water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate or form
acids when stored. Use fresh fuel (less than 60 days
old), when using alcohol-blended fuel.
Using Blended Fuels
If you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is
unavoidable, follow recommended precautions:
Always use fresh unleaded gasoline
Use the fuel additive STA-BIL
®
or an equivalent
Drain tank and run the engine dry before storing unit
Using Fuel Additives
The use of fuel additives, such as STA-BIL
®
Gas
Stabilizer or an equivalent, will inhibit corrosion and
minimize the formation of gum deposits. Using a fuel
additive can keep fuel from forming harmful deposits in
the carburetor for up to six (6) months. Add 0.8 oz.
(23 ml.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to the
instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel additives
directly to the unit's gas tank.
Unleaded
Gasoline
Add fuel in a clean,
well ventilated
outdoor area. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately. Avoid creating a source of
ignition for spilt fuel. Do not start the engine
until fuel vapors dissipate.
WARNING:
Gasoline is
extremely
flammable. Ignited Vapors may explode.
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool
before filling the fuel tank. Do not smoke
while filling the tank. Keep sparks and open
flames at a distance from the area.
WARNING:
Remove fuel cap
slowly to avoid injury
from fuel spray. Never operate the unit
without the fuel cap securely in place
.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOLDING THE TRIMMER
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position
(Fig. 27). Check for the following:
The operator is wearing eye protection and proper
clothing
With a slightly-bent right arm, the operator’s right hand
is holding the shaft grip
The operator’s left arm is straight, the left hand holding
the handle
The unit is at waist level
The cutting attachment is parallel to the ground and
easily contacts the grass without the need to bend over
After starting the unit and standing in the operating position,
hook the shoulder strap to the unit (CC4090 only).
Fig. 27
ADJUSTING TRIMMING LINE LENGTH
The Bump Head™ cutting attachment allows you to
release trimming line without stopping the engine. To
release more line, lightly tap the cutting attachment on the
ground (Fig. 28) while operating the trimmer at high speed.
NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended.
Line release becomes more difficult as the cutting
line becomes shorter.
Each time the head is bumped, about 1 inch (25.4 mm) of
trimming line is released. A blade in the cutting
attachment shield will cut the line to the proper length if
excess line is released.
For best results, tap the Bump Head™ on bare ground or
hard soil. If line release is attempted in tall grass, the
engine may stall. Always keep the trimming line fully
extended. Line release becomes more difficult as the
cutting line becomes shorter.
NOTE: Do not rest the Bump Head™ on the ground
while the unit is running.
Fig. 28
Some line breakage will occur from:
Entanglement with foreign matter
Normal line fatigue
Attempting to cut thick, stalky weeds
Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts
TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS
For best trimming results, operate unit at full throttle.
Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground.
Do not force the cutting attachment. Allow the tip of
the line to do the cutting, especially along walls.
Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting
efficiency and may overload the engine.
Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm) by working from top
to bottom in small increments to avoid premature line
wear or engine drag.
For the CC4090 brushcutter, cut from left to right
whenever possible. Cutting to the right improves the
unit's cutting efficiency. Clippings are thrown away from
the operator. For the other units, cut from right to left.
Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the cutting
area at the desired height. Move either in a forward-
backward or side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter
lengths produces the best results.
Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
The life of your cutting line is dependent upon:
Proper adherence of explained trimming techniques
What vegetation is cut
Where vegetation is cut
For example, the line will wear faster when trimming against
a foundation wall as opposed to trimming around a tree.
Do not remove or alter
the line cutting blade
assembly. Excessive line length will make the
clutch overheat. This may lead to serious
personal injury or damage to the unit.
CAUTION:
Always wear eye,
hearing, foot and
body protection to reduce the risk of injury
when operating this unit.
WARNING:

Fig. 30
Fig. 31
DECORATIVE TRIMMING
Decorative trimming is accomplished by removing all
vegetation around trees, posts, fences and more.
Rotate the whole unit so that the cutting attachment is at
a 30° angle to the ground (Fig. 29).
CC4090 ONLY: USING THE CUTTING BLADE
Before operating the unit with the cutting blade, stand in
the operating position (Fig. 30). Refer to Holding the
Trimmer.
Cutting Blade Operating Tips
To establish a rhythmic cutting procedure:
Plant feet firmly, comfortably apart.
Bring the engine to full throttle before entering the
material to be cut. At full throttle the blade has
maximum cutting power and is less likely to bind, stall
or cause blade thrust (which can result in serious
personal injury to the operator or others).
Cut while swinging the upper part of your body from
left to right.
Always release the throttle trigger and allow the engine
to return to idle speed when not cutting.
When you are finished, always unsnap the unit from
the harness before taking off the harness.
Swing the unit in the opposite direction as the blade
spins, which increases the cutting action.
After the return swing, move forward to the next area
to be cut plant your feet again.
The cutting blade is designed with a second cutting
edge. You can use it by removing the blade, turning it
upside down, and reinstalling it.
To reduce the chance of material wrapping around the
blade, follow these steps:
Cut at full throttle
Swing the unit into material to be cut from your left to
your right (Fig. 31)
Avoid the material just cut as you make the return swing
Always wear eye,
hearing, foot, body
protection and the shoulder strap to reduce the
risk of injury when operating this unit.
WARNING:
Do not use the
cutting blade for
edging or as an edger. Severe personal injury
to yourself or others can result.
WARNING:
The blade continues
to spin after the
engine is turned off. The coasting blade can
seriously cut you if accidentally touched.
WARNING:
Do not sharpen the
cutting blade.
Sharpening the blade can cause the blade tip
to break off while in use. This can result in
severe personal injury to yourself or others.
Replace the blade.
WARNING:
Bl
ade thrust may
occur when the
spinning blade contacts an object that it does
not immediately cut. Blade thrust can be violent
enough to cause the unit and/or operator to be
propelled in any direction, and possibly lose
control of the unit. Blade thrust can occur
without warning if the blade snags, stalls or
binds. This is more likely to occur in areas where
it is difficult to see the material being cut.
WARNING:
Do not clear away
any cut material with
the engine running or blade turning. To avoid
serious personal injury, turn off the engine.
Allow the blade to stop before removing
materials wrapped around the blade shaft.
