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 sweIlings. 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 toot.
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

Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which leads to
separation and formation of acids during stor-
age. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system
of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, empty the fuel system before stor-
age for 30 days or Ionger. Drain the gas tank.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended that the engine not be
operated for longer than 1 minute at full
throttle.
OPERATING POSITION
ALWAYS WEAR: _,_
Eye Protection
Long Pan_ Eye
Heavy Shoe_,_ _'_
, <'
Cut from your right to your left.
_l WARN IN G : Always wear eye protec-
tion. Never lean over the trimmer head.
Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into
eyes and face and cause blindness or other
serious injury.
Do not run the engine at a higher speed than
necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently
when the engine is run at less than full throttle.
At lower speeds, there is less engine noise
and vibration. The cutting line will last longer
and will be less likely to "weld" onto the spool.
Always release the throttle trigger and allow
the engine to return to idle speed when not
cutting.
10
To stop engine:
Release the throttle trigger,
Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF posi-
tion,
TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE
The trimmer line will advance approximately 2
inches (5 cm) each time the bottom of the
trimmer head is tapped on the ground with the
engine running at full throttle.
The most efficient line length is the maximum
length allowed by the line limiter.
Always keep the shield in place when the tool
is being operated,
To advance line:
Operate the engine at full throttle,
Hold the trimmer head paraltel to and above
the grassy area.
Tap the bottom of the trimmer head lightly on
the ground one time, Approximately 2 inches
(5 cm) of line will be advanced with each tap.
Always tap the trimmer head on a grassy
area. Tapping on surfaces such as concrete
or asphalt can cause excessive wear to the
trimmer head.
If the line is worn down to 2 inches (5 cm) or
less, more than one tap will be required to ob-
tain the most efficient tine length.
WARNING: use only 0.080" (2 mm)
diameter line. Other sizes of line will not ad-
vance properly and can cause serious injury.
Do not use other materials such as wire,
string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during
cutting and become a dangerous missile that
can cause serious injury.
CUTTING METHODS
_WARNING: Use minimum speed
and do not crowd the tine when cutting around
hard objects (rook, gravel, fence posts, etc.),
which can damage thetrimmer head, become
entangled in the line, or be thrown causing a
serious hazard.
The tip of the line does the cutting. You will
achieve the best performance and
mh_imum line wear by not crowding the line
into the cutting area, The right and wrong
wavs are shown below.
Tip of the Line I Line Crowded Into
Does The Cutting Work Area
• The line will easily remove grass and
weeds from around walls, fences, trees and
flower beds, but it also can cut the tender
bark of trees or shrubs and scar fences.
For trimming or scalping, use less than full
throttle to increase line life and decrease head
wear, especially:
During light duty cutting.
Near objects around which the tine can
wrap such as small posts, trees or fence
wire.
For mowing or sweeping, use full throttle for
a good clean job.
TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the trimmer
head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground
and at an angle. Allow only the tip of the line to
make contact. Do not force trimmer line into
work area.
Trimming // ._

SCALPING - The scalping technique re-
moves unwanted vegetation down to the
ground. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head
about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground and
at an angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike the
ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc.
This technique increases line wear.
Scalping ..... _ !
MOWING - Your trimmer is ideal for mowing
in places conventional lawn mowers cannot
reach. In the mowing position, keep the line
parallel to the ground, Avoid pressing the
head into the ground as this can scalp the
ground and damage the tool.
