SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations

through prolonged use of gasoline powered

hand tools could cause btood vessel or nerve

damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of

people prone to circulation disorders or ab-

normal swellings. 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 tool.

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

U.S. forest land and the states of California,

Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ore-

gon, and Washington require by law that

many internal combustion engines be

equipped with a spark arresting screen. Ifyou

operate in a locale where such regulations ex-

ist, you are legally responsible for maintaining

the operating condition of these parts. Failure

to do so is a violation of the law. For normal

homeowner use, the muffler and spark arrest-

ing screen will not require any service. After

50 hours of use, we recommend that your

muffler be serviced or replaced by an autho-

rized service dealer.

WARN ING: Alwaysweareye 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 efficientIy

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.

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.

_i 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

_IWARNING: Use minimum speed

and do not crowd the line when cutting around

hard objects (rock, 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

minimum line wear by not crowding the line

into the cutting area, The right and wrong

ways are shown below.

Tip of line does Line crowded into

• For trimming or scalping, use less than full

throttle to increase line Iife and decrease head

wear, especially:

• During light duty cutting.

• Near objects around which the line 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

3 inches (8 crr

above ground

SCALPING - The scalping technique re-

moves unwanted vegetation down to the

ground, Hotd 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.

Mowing

Right W_ong

• 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.

SWEEPING - The fanning action of the rotat-

ing line can be used for a quick and easy

clean up. Keep the Ih_e parallel to and above

the surfaces beh_g swept and move the tool

from side to side.

Sweeping

m_WARNING: Disconnect the spark

plug before performing mah_tenance except

for carburetor adjustments.
