SAFETY WARNINGS FOR GAS UNITS
Store fuel only in containers specically designed and approved for the storage of such
materials.
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before lling the tank. Never remove the
fuel tank cap or add fuel when the engine is hot. Always loosen the fuel tank cap slowly
to relieve any pressure in the tank before fueling.
Always mix and add fuel in a clean, well-ventilated outdoor area where there are no
sparks or ames. DO NOT smoke.
Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.
Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. Wipe up any spilled fuel from the unit
immediately, before starting the unit. Move the unit at least 30 ft. (9.1 m) from the
fueling source and site before starting the engine. DO NOT smoke.
Never start or run the unit inside a closed room or building. Breathing exhaust fumes
can kill. Operate this unit only in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
WARNING: Gasoline is highly ammable and its vapors can
explode if ignited. Take the following precautions:
WHILE OPERATING
Wear safety glasses or goggles that meet current ANSI / ISEA Z87.1 standards and are
marked as such. Wear ear/hearing protection when operating this unit. Wear a face
mask 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.
Adjust the handle to provide the best grip, if applicable.
Use the unit only in daylight or good articial light.
Avoid accidental starting. Be in the starting position whenever pulling the starter rope. The
operator and unit must be in a stable position while starting. Refer to Starting and Stopping.
Use the right tool. Only use this tool for its intended purpose. Only use the unit as
described in this manual.
Always hold the unit with both hands when operating. Keep a rm grip on both
handles or grips.
Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and balance. Take extra care when
working on stairs, steep slopes or inclines. To avoid serious injury, do not operate the
unit while on a ladder or a roof.
Keep hands, face, and feet away from all moving parts. Do not touch or try to stop
moving parts.
Do not touch the engine, gear housing or muer. These parts get extremely hot from
operation, even after the unit is turned o.
Do not operate the unit faster than the speed needed to do the job. Do not run the unit
at high speed when not in use.
7
Do not force the unit. It will do a better, safer job when used at the intended rate.
Always turn the unit o when operation is delayed or when carrying the unit from one
location to another. Make sure all moving parts come to a complete stop.
Before setting the unit down, always make sure the engine is o and all moving parts
have stopped.
If the unit strikes or becomes entangled with a foreign object, stop the unit
immediately. Check for damage. If damaged, do not restart or operate the unit until it is
repaired. Do not operate the unit with loose or damaged parts.
Turn the engine o and disconnect the spark plug for maintenance or repair.
Use only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts and accessories for
this unit. These are available from your authorized service dealer. Use of any other parts
or accessories could lead to serious injury to the user, or damage to the unit, and void
the warranty.
Keep the unit clean. Carefully remove vegetation and other debris that could block
moving parts.
To reduce re hazard, replace a faulty muer and spark arrestor. Keep the engine and
muer free from grass, leaves, excessive grease or carbon build up.
If the unit starts to vibrate abnormally, stop the unit immediately. Inspect the unit for
the cause of the vibration. Vibration is generally an indicator of trouble.
TRIMMER SAFETY
Only use the trimming line described in the Specications section of this manual. Never
use metal-reinforced line, wire, chain or rope. These can break o and become
dangerous projectiles.
Do not replace the cutting head with rigid or metal blades. Doing so could result in
serious injury.
The cutting head shield must always be in place while operating the unit.
Do not operate the unit without both trimming lines extended and the proper line
installed. Do not extend the trimming line beyond the length of the shield.
The cutting head will spin during idle speed adjustments. Wear protective clothing and
observe all safety instructions to prevent serious personal injury.
Make sure the cutting head is not in contact with anything before starting the unit.

OIL AND FUEL
OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
The use of old and/or improperly mixed fuel is the most common cause of performance problems. Use
only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline. Follow the instructions carefully for the proper gasoline/oil mixture.
Denition 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,
forming acids when stored. ALWAYS use fresh fuel (less than 30 days old).
NOTE: Dispose of old fuel according to federal, state and local regulations.
Using Blended Fuels
If using a blended fuel:
Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in this operator's manual
Use a fuel additive
Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling the unit
Using Fuel Additives
The container of 2-cycle oil provided with this unit includes a fuel additive to help inhibit corrosion
and minimize gum deposits. Always use the brand of 2-cycle oil that came with this unit. If this is
unavailable, use a 2-cycle oil designed for air-cooled engines and mix it with a fuel additive. 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 fuel tank.
Mixing the Fuel
NOTE: This unit comes with a 2.6 oz. (77 ml) container of 2-cycle oil. To obtain the correct fuel mixture
described below, pour the entire container into one gallon of unleaded gasoline.
Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of unleaded gasoline with 2-cycle engine oil. Do not mix them
directly in the unit’s fuel tank. Use a separate fuel can. Use a 50:1 gasoline/oil ratio. See the table below
for specic gasoline and oil mixing ratios.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE E85 FUEL IN THIS UNIT.
It has been proven that fuel containing greater than 10% ethanol will likely damage this
engine and void the warranty.
CAUTION: For proper engine operation and maximum reliability, pay strict attention
to the gasoline and oil mixing instructions on the 2-cycle oil container. Using improperly
mixed fuel can severely damage the engine.
19
FUELING THE UNIT
1. Position the unit with the fuel cap facing up.
2. Slowly remove the fuel cap.
3. Place the fuel container spout into the fuel tank ll hole and ll the tank.
NOTE: Do not overll the tank.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled.
5. Reinstall the fuel cap.
6. Move the unit at least 30 ft. (9.1 m) from the fuel container and the fueling site before starting the
engine.
WARNING: Gasoline is extremely ammable. Ignited vapors may explode. Always
stop the engine and allow it to cool before lling the fuel tank. Do not smoke while lling
