WARNING:
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
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 confined space,
building, near open windows, or in other unventilated
space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can
collect. Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and
extremely 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. Failure to do so could
result in objects being thrown into your eyes and other
possible serious injuries.
Wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves, boots, and gloves.
Do not wear loose fitting 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 operator’s left side.
Secure long hair above shoulder level to prevent entangle-
ment in moving parts.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least
50 ft. away. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear
eye protection. If you are approached, stop the engine
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 influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Do not operate in poor lighting.
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach.
Overreaching can result in loss of balance or exposure
to hot surfaces.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable foot-
ing 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 muffler 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, flailing devices, wire, or rope on trim-
mer attachment. Never use flailing 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 fingers, usually 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 effects of vibration:
a) Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep hands and wrists warm.
It is reported that cold weather is a major factor con-
tributing 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 condition,
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 flames.
Wipe up any fuel spillage. Move 30 ft. away from refueling
site before starting engine. Slowly remove the fuel cap
after stopping engine. Do not smoke when refueling.
Stop the engine and allow to cool before refueling or
storing the unit.

serious injury.
Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors, and handles are
properly and securely attached.
Use only recommended or equivalent replacement line in
the cutting head. Do not use any other cutting attachment.
To install any other type 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 off and become a dangerous projectile.
Never operate unit without the grass deflector in place
and in good condition.
Maintain a firm 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.
This product is intended for infrequent use by homeowners
and other occasional users for such general applications
as trimming light and heavy vegetation, etc. It is not in-
tended for prolonged use. Prolonged periods of operation
can cause circulatory problems in the user’s hands due
to vibration. For such use, it may be appropriate to use
a product having an anti-vibration feature.
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.
Allow the engine to cool; empty the fuel tank 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 off make sure the cutting
attachment has stopped before the unit is set down.

OPERATION
8 — English
WARNING:
Always position the unit on the operator’s right side. The
use of the unit on the operator’s left side will expose the
user to hot surfaces and can result in possible burn injury.
WARNING:
To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate unit with
the bottom of the engine above waist level.
Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with
both hands while in operation. Trimmer should be held at a
comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height.
Always operate trimmer in RUN position. Cut tall grass
from the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping
around the shaft housing and string head which could cause
damage from overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around
the string head, STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark
plug wire, and remove the grass. Prolonged cutting at partial
throttle will result in lubricant dripping from the muffler.
WARNING:
Always hold the string trimmer away from the body keep-
ing clearance between the body and the product. Any
contact with the housing or string trimmer cutting head
can result in burns and/or other serious personal injury.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figures 9 - 11.
Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away from
your body. (Proper operating position shown in figure 9.)
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cutting area.
The curved shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit from
right to left. The straight shaft trimmer cuts when passing
the unit from left to right. This will avoid throwing debris at
the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown
in illustration.
Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even break-
age. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear
line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the line.
OPERATION

OPERATION
TO ADVANCE THE CUTTING LINE
(REEL-EASY
STRING HEAD)
Line advance is controlled by tapping the string head on
grass while running engine at full throttle.
Run engine at full throttle.
Tap the knob on ground to advance line. The line advances
each time the knob is tapped. Do not hold the knob on
the ground.
NOTE: The line trimming cut-off blade on the grass deflector
will cut the line to the correct length.
NOTE: If the line is worn too short you may not be able to
advance the line by tapping it on the ground. If so, stop the
engine and manually advance the line.
To advance the cutting line manually:
Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire.
Push the knob in while pulling on line(s) to manually ad-
vance the line.
GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUT-
OFF BLADE
See Figure 12.
The trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off blade
on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance line until it
is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance the line
whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal,
or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain
best performance and keep the line long enough to advance
properly.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT, MUFFLER,
AND SPARK ARRESTOR
NOTICE:
The spark arrestor on this product has not been evalu-
ated by the USDA Forest Service and cannot be used on
U.S. forest lands. In addition, product users must comply
with Federal, State, and local fire prevention regulations.
Check with appropriate authorities. Contact customer
service or a qualified service center to purchase a re-
placement spark arrestor.
NOTE: Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and
amount of lubricant used, and/or your operating conditions, the
exhaust port, muffler, and/or spark arrestor screen may be-
come blocked with carbon deposits. If you notice a power
loss with your gas powered tool, you may need to remove
these deposits to restore performance. We highly recom-
mend that only qualified service technicians perform this
service.
The spark arrestor must be cleaned or replaced every 50
hours or yearly to ensure proper performance of your prod-
uct. Spark arrestors may be in different locations depending
on the model purchased. Please contact your nearest service
dealer for the location of the spark arrestor for your model.
IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 17.
WARNING:
The cutting head will move when adjusting the idle speed.
Wear all protective clothing and keep all bystanders,
children, and pets at least 50 ft. 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 cutting head and
muffler. 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 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

15 m (50 pi). Recommander aux personnes présente de
porter une protection oculaire. Si quelqu’un s’approche
pendant l’utilisation de l’outil, arrêter le moteur et
l’accessoire de coupe. Le risque de blessure est accru
si on utilise un outil à lames. En effet, les personnes se
trouvant à proximité risquent d’être heurtés par une lame
en marche advenant qu’elle ricoche, ou à la suite de toute
autre réaction inattendue de la scie.
Ne pas utiliser cet outil en état de fatigue, si l’on est
souffrant ou contrarié ou sous l’influence de l’alcool, de
drogues ou de médicaments.
Ne pas travailler sous un éclairage insuffisant.
Se tenir bien campé et en équilibre. Ne pas travailler hors
de portée. Le travail hors de portée risque de faire perdre
l’équilibre ou de causer un contact avec les pièces brûlantes.
Ne pas utiliser l’outil sur une échelle ou un support instable.
Une bonne tenue et un bon équilibre permettent de mieux
contrôler l’unité en cas de situation imprévue
Garder toutes les parties du corps à l’écart des pièces
en mouvement.
Pour éviter le contact avec les parties brûlantes, ne jamais
travailler avec le bas du moteur au-dessus du niveau de
la taille.

doit jamais tourner au ralenti. La rotation au ralenti est
toutefois permise lors du réglage du carburateur.
Il a été rapporté que, chez certaines personnes, les
vibrations produites par les outils à main motorisés peuvent
contribuer au développement d’une affection appelée
syndrome de Raynaud. Les symptômes peuvent inclure
des picotements, l’insensibilisation et le blanchissement
des doigts et sont habituellement provoqués par
l’exposition au froid. L’hérédité, l’exposition au froid et à
l’humidité, le régime alimentaire, la fumée et les habitudes
de travail sont tous des facteurs considérés comme
contribuant au développement de ces symptômes. Il
n’existe actuellement aucune preuve qu’un certain type de
vibration ou le degré d’exposition contribue réellement au
développement de cette affectation. Certaines mesures,
susceptibles de réduire les effets des vibrations, peuvent
être prises par l’opérateur :
a) Garder le corps au chaud par temps froid. Pendant
l’utilisation, porter des gants afin de tenir les mains et
les poignets au chaud. Il a été établi que le froid est
l’une des principales causes du symptôme de Raynaud.
b) Après chaque période d’utilisation, faire des exercices
pour accroître la circulation.
