Read All Instructions
For safe operation, read and understand all instructions
before using this product. Follow all safety instructions.
Failure to follow all safety instructions listed below, can
result in serious personal injury.
Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use this
unit.
Do not start or operate the engine in a conned space,
building, near open windows, or in other unventilated
space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can col-
lect. Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and extreme-
ly dangerous gas, can cause unconsciousness or death.
Clear the work area before each use. Remove all objects
such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or loose string
which can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting
line or blade.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1 along with hearing protection
when operating this equipment.
Wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves, boots, and gloves.
Do not wear loose tting clothing, short pants, sandals,
or go barefoot. Do not wear jewelry of any kind.
Heavy protective clothing may increase operator fatigue,
which could lead to heat stroke. During weather that is
hot and humid, heavy work should be scheduled for early
morning or late afternoon hours when temperatures are
cooler.
Never operate this unit on the operators left side.
Secure long hair above shoulder level to prevent entan-
glement in moving parts.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least
50 ft. (15 m) away. Bystanders should be encouraged to
wear eye protection. If you are approached, stop the en-
gine and cutting attachment. In the case of bladed units,
there is the added risk of injury to bystanders from being
struck with the moving blade in the event of a blade
thrust or other unexpected reaction of the saw.
Do not operate this unit when you are tired, ill, upset, or
under the inuence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Do not operate in poor lighting.
Keep rm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Over-
reaching can result in loss of balance or exposure to hot
surfaces.
Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or other unstable
support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the unit in unexpected situations.
Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.
To avoid hot surfaces, never operate the unit with the
bottom of the engine above waist level.
Do not touch area around the muer or cylinder of the
unit, these parts get hot from operation. Contact with hot
surfaces could result in possible serious personal injury.
Always stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire
before making any adjustments or repairs except for
carburetor adjustments.
Inspect the unit before each use for loose fasteners, fuel
leaks, etc. Replace any damaged parts before use.
Never use blades, ailing devices, wire, or rope on trim-
mer attachment. Never use ailing devices, wire, or rope
on any attachment.
The cutting attachment should never rotate at idle during
normal use. The cutting attachment may rotate at idle
during carburetor adjustments.
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held
tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include
tingling, numbness, and blanching of the ngers, usu-
ally apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors,
exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work
practices are all thought to contribute to the development
of these symptoms. It is presently unknown what, if any,
vibrations or extent of exposure may contribute to the
condition. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the eects of vibration:
a) Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operat-
ing the unit wear gloves to keep hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major fac-
tor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
b) After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
c) Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
d) Keep the tool well maintained, fasteners tightened,
and worn parts replaced.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condi-
tion, immediately discontinue use and see your physician
about these symptoms.
Mix and store fuel in a container approved for gasoline.
Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or ames.
Wipe up any fuel spillage. Move 30 ft. (9 m) away from
refueling site before starting engine. Slowly remove the fuel
cap after stopping engine. Do not smoke when refueling.

Safety Rules
Specific Safety Rules
Stop the engine and allow to cool before refueling or
storing the unit.
Allow the engine to cool; empty the fuel tank into a con-
tainer approved for fuel and secure the unit from moving
before transporting in a vehicle.
Wear your protective equipment and observe all safety
instructions. For units equipped with a clutch, be sure the
cutting attachment stops turning when the engine idles.
When the unit is turned o make sure the cutting attach-
ment has stopped before the unit is set down.
This product is intended for infrequent use by homeown-
ers and other occasional users for such general applica-
tions as trimming light and heavy vegetation, etc. It is
not intended for prolonged use. Prolonged periods of
operation can cause circulatory problems in the users
hands due to vibration. For such use, it may be appropri-
ate to use a product having an anti-vibration feature.
Specific Safety Rules for Trimmer Use
Inspect before use. Replace damaged parts. Make sure
fasteners are in place and secure. Check for fuel leaks.
Replace string head if cracked, chipped, or damaged in
any way. Be sure the string head or blade is properly in-
stalled and securely fastened. Failure to do so can cause
serious injury.
Make sure all guards, straps, deectors, and handles are
properly and securely attached.
Use only recommended or equivalent replacement line
in the cutting head. Do not use any other cutting attach-
ment. To install any other brand of replacement line or
cutting head to this string trimmer can result in serious
personal injury. Never use, for example, wire or wire-
rope, which can break o and become a dangerous
projectile.
Never operate unit without the grass deector in place
and in good condition.
Maintain a rm grip on both handles while trimming.
Keep string head below waist level. Never cut with the
string head located over 30 in. or more above the ground.
Specific Safety Rules for Brushcutter
and Blade Use
Brushcutter blades coast after throttle trigger is released
or engine is stopped. Keep the rotating blade in thicker
weeds or pulpy stalks until the blade completely stops.
Do not operate the brushcutter unless the brushcutter
guard is rmly secured in place and in good condition.
Use heavy gloves when operating the brushcutter and
when installing or removing blades.
Always stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire
before attempting to remove any obstruction caught or
jammed in the blade or before removing and installing
the blade.
Do not attempt to touch or stop the blade when it is rotat-
ing.
A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues
to spin after the engine is stopped or throttle trigger
released. Maintain proper control until the blade has
completely stopped rotating.
Replace any blade that has been damaged. Always make
sure blade is installed correctly and securely fastened
before each use. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
Use only recommended or equivalent replacement blade
intended for use on this brushcutter. Do not use any other
blade. To install any other brand blade or cutting head to
this brushcutter can result in serious personal injury.
The blade is suited for cutting thicker weeds or pulpy
stalks only. Do not use for any other purpose. Never use
the blade to cut woody brush.
Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with this
unit. Blade thrust is the reaction that may occur when the
spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut. This con-
tact may cause the blade to stop for an instant, and sud-
denly “thrust” the unit away from the object that was hit.
This reaction can be violent enough to cause the operator
to 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 dicult to see the ma-
terial being cut. For cutting ease and safety, approach the
weeds being cut from the right to the left. In the event an
unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this
could minimize the blade thrust reaction.
Never cut any material over 1/2 in. diameter.
Always wear the shoulder harness when using the brush-
cutter and adjust to a comfortable operating position.
Maintain a rm grip on both handles while cutting with
a blade. Keep the blade away from your body and below
waist level.
Never use the brushcutter with the blade located 30 in. or
more above the ground level.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use
them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan
someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.

debris. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in
lubricant dripping from the muer.
WARNING:
Always hold the power head and attachment
away from the body keeping clearance between
the body and the product. Any contact with
the power head or attachment cutting head can
result in burns and/or other serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
Extreme care must be taken when using blades
to ensure safe operation. Read the safety infor-
mation for safe operation when using a blade
and refer to the safety rules and instructions in
your attachment manual.
Blade Thrust
Exercise extreme caution when using a blade attachment
with this unit. Blade thrust is the reaction that may occur
when the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut.
This contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant,
and suddenly “thrust” the unit away from the object that
was hit. This reaction can be violent enough to cause the
operator to 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 dicult to see the
material being cut. For cutting ease and safety, approach the
weeds being cut with the brushcutter from the right to the
left. In the event an unexpected object or woody stock is
encountered, this practice could minimize the blade thrust
reaction.

The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable lter and check
valve. A clogged fuel lter causes poor engine performance.
If performance improves when the fuel cap is loosened,
the check valve may be faulty or the lter may be clogged.
Replace the fuel cap if necessary.
Normal maintenance, replacement or repair of emission con-
trol devices and systems may be performed by any qualied
repair establishment or individual with original or equiva-
lent parts. Warranty and recall repairs must be performed

Idle Speed Adjustment
See Figure 11.
WARNING:
The blade/cutting head will move when
adjusting the idle speed. Wear all protective
clothing and keep all bystanders, children,
and pets at least 50 ft (15 m) away. Make
adjustments with the unit supported by hand
so that the blade/cutting head does not contact
the ground or any object. Keep all parts of your
body away from the blade/cutting head and
muer. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious personal injury.
If the cutting attachment turns at idle, the idle speed screw
needs adjusting on the engine. Turn the idle speed screw
counterclockwise to reduce the idle RPM and stop the cut-
ting attachment movement. If the cutting attachment still
moves at idle speed, contact a qualied service dealer for
adjustment and discontinue use until the repair is made.
WARNING:
The cutting attachment should never turn at idle.
Turn the idle speed screw counterclockwise
to reduce the idle RPM and stop the cutting
attachment, or contact a service dealer for
adjustment and discontinue use until the repair
is made. Serious personal injury can result from
the cutting attachment turning at idle.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Engine will not start. 1. No spark.
2. No fuel.
3. Flooded engine.
4. Starter cord pulls harder now than when
new.
1. Remove the spark plug. Reattach the spark
plug cap and lay the spark plug on the
metal cylinder. Pull the starter grip and
rope and watch for a spark at the spark
plug tip. If there is no spark, repeat the test
with a new spark plug.
2. Push primer bulb until the bulb is full of
fuel. If the bulb does not ll, the pri-
mary fuel delivery system is blocked. If
the primer bulb lls, the engine may be
ooded. (See next item.).
3. Remove the spark plug. Turn the product
so that the spark plug hole is aimed at the
ground. Make sure the choke lever is set to
RUN and pull the starter grip and rope 10
to 14 times. This clears excess fuel from
the engine. Clean and reinstall the spark
plug. With the trigger fully depressed, pull
the starter grip and rope 3 times. If the en-
gine does not start, set the choke lever to
FULL and follow normal starting instruc-
tions. If the engine still fails to start, repeat
the procedure with a new spark plug.
