GENERAL SAFETY RULES

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.

 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.

 Product users on United States Forest Service land, and in

some states, must comply with fire prevention regulations.

This product is equipped with a spark arrestor; however,

other user requirements may apply. Check with your

federal, state, or local authorities.

 Never operate this unit on the operator’s left side.

 Secure long hair above shoulder level to prevent

entanglement 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.



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.

 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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

 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

installed and securely fastened. Failure to do so can cause

serious injury.

 Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors, and handles are

properly and securely attached.

 Never use blades, flailing devices, wire, or rope. Use only

identical replacement line in the cutting head. Do not use

any other cutting attachment. To install any other brand

of cutting head to this string trimmer can result in serious

personal injury.

 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 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 opera-

tion 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.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

 Stop the engine and allow to cool before refueling or

storing the unit.

 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

OPERATING THE TRIMMER

See Figure 10.

WARNING:

Engine housing can become hot during trimmer opera-

tion. Do not rest or place your arm, hand, or any body

part against the engine housing during trimmer operation.

Only hold the trimmer as shown in Figure 10 with all body

parts clear of engine housing. Extended contact with the

engine housing can result in burns or other injuries.

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 10 - 12.

 Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away from

your body. (Proper operating position shown in figure 10.)

 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.

10 — English

OPERATION

 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

breakage. 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.

ADVANCING STRING USING THE REEL-EASY

™

TAP ADVANCE SYSTEM

String advance is controlled by tapping the string head’s

spool retainer on grass while running engine at full throttle.

 Run engine at full throttle.

 Tap string head on ground to advance string. String

advances each time the head is tapped.

 Several taps may be required until string strikes the cut

off blade.

 Resume trimming.

NOTE: If the string is worn too short you may not be able to

advance the string by tapping it on the ground. If so, STOP

THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire, and manually

advance the string.

ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY

With the engine off and the spark plug wire disconnected,

push the spool retainer down while pulling on string(s) to

manually advance the string.

GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF

BLADE

See Figure 13.

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 when-

ever you hear the engine running faster than normal, or when

trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best perfor-

mance and keep the line long enough to advance properly.

11 — English

WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause

product damage.

WARNING:

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to

comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection.

Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into

your eyes and other possible serious injuries.

WARNING:

Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,

shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and

disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from spark

plug. Failure to follow these instructions can result in

serious personal injury or property damage.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most

plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of

commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.

Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, lubricant, grease, etc.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-

based products, penetrating lubricants, etc., come in con-

tact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or

destroy plastic which could result in serious personal

injury.

You can often make adjustments and repairs described here.

For other repairs, have the trimmer serviced by an authorized

service dealer.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT, MUFFLER,

AND 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.

MAINTENANCE

IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 19.

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

the repair is made. Serious personal injury could result

from the cutting attachment turning at idle.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

See Figures 20 - 21.

For proper performance and long life, keep air filter clean.

 Remove the air filter cover by pushing down on the latches

while gently pulling off the cover.



Remove the air filter.

 Clean the foam filter element with warm soapy water.

Rinse and let dry.

NOTE: If the foam filter element is damaged, it should be

replaced.



Apply a light coat of engine oil to the foam filter element,

then squeeze it out.



Reinstall the air filter.

NOTE: Make sure the filter is seated properly inside the

cover. Installing the filter incorrectly will allow dirt to enter

the engine, causing rapid engine wear.



Replace the air filter cover by placing the slots on the air

filter cover over the latches on the housing, then push

the cover down until it snaps securely in place.

FUEL CAP, TANK, AND LINES

WARNING:

Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap, tank, or lines

are a fire hazard and must be replaced immediately. If

you find any leaks, correct the problem before using the

product. Failure to do so could result in a fire that could

cause serious personal injury.

The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a check

valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine per-

formance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is

loosened, the check valve may be faulty or filter clogged.

Replace the fuel cap if required.

SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT

The spark plug for this engine may be replaced using a Ryobi

accessory spark plug or a Champion RCJ6Y. The spark plug

gap should be set at .025 in. Use an exact replacement and

replace annually.

NOTICE:

Be careful not to cross-thread the spark plug. Cross-

threading will seriously damage the product.

STORING THE PRODUCT

 Clean all foreign material from the product. Store idle unit

indoors in a dry, well-ventilated area that is inaccessible

to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as

garden chemicals and de-icing salts.



Abide by all ISO and local regulations for the safe storage

and handling of gasoline.

When storing 1 month or longer:



Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for

gasoline. Run engine until it stops.

HIGH ALTITUDE ENGINE OPERATION

Please have an authorized service center adjust this engine

if it is to be run above 2000 feet. Failure to do so may result

in poor engine performance and increased emissions. An

engine adjusted for high altitudes can not be run at 2000

feet or lower. In doing so, the engine will overheat and cause

serious engine damage. Please have an authorized service

center restore high altitude modified engines to the original

factory specification before operating below 2000 feet.

equipment that uses small off-road engines must be designed, built,

and equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-smog standards. In

other states, new small off-road engines must be designed, built, and

equipped at the time of sale to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small

off-road engines. The small off-road engine must be free from defects

in materials and workmanship which cause it to fail to conform with

U.S. EPA standards for the first three years of engine use from the date

of sale to the ultimate purchaser. Techtronic Industries North America,

Inc., must warrant the emission control system on your small off-road

engine for the period of time listed above provided there has been no

abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the carbure-

tor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converters,

fuel tanks, valves, filters, clamps, connectors, and other associated

components. Also included may be hoses, belts and connectors, and

other emission-related assemblies.

Where a warrantable condition exists, Techtronic Industries North

America, Inc., will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you,

including diagnosis, parts, and labor.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE

This 1995 and later small off-road emissions control system is war-

ranted for three years. If any emission-related part on your engine is

defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Techtronic Industries

replacement part or service that is equivalent in performance and

durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance or repairs, and

shall not reduce the warranty obligations of Techtronic Industries

North America, Inc.

follows: Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as

required in the Maintenance Schedule is warranted for three years. If

any such part (including any part that is scheduled only for regular in-

spection) fails during the period of warranty coverage, it will be repaired

or replaced at any RYOBI

® Authorized Service Center at no charge.

Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted

for the remaining warranty period. A statement to the effect of “repair

or replace as necessary” would not reduce the period of warranty

coverage. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as

required maintenance in the Maintenance Schedule is warranted for

the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that

part. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty is warranted

Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., will not be liable to warrant

failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted

add-on or modified part.
