HELPFUL TIP

Toobtain the correct oil mix I

ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of

2-cycle synthetic off into

one gallon of fresh gas.

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded

gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be

mixed with a good quality synthetic 2-cycle

air-cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at a

ratio of 40:1. Poulan/WEED EATER brand

synthetic oil is recommended. Mix gasoline and

oil at a ratio of 40:1, A 40:1 ratio is obtained by

mixing 3.2 ounces (95 mI) of oil with 1 gallon (4

liters) of unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE

automotive oil or marine oil. These oils will

cause engine damage. When mixing fuel. follow

instructions printed on container. Once oil is

added to gasoline, shake container momentarily

to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed.

Always read and follow the safety rules relating

to fuel before fueling your unit.

IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels

(called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol)

can attract moisture which leads to separa-

tion and formation of acids during storage.

Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an

engine white in storage. To avoid engine

problems, empty the fuel system before stor-

age for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank.

start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines

and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next

season. Never use engine or carburetor

cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur. See the STORAGE sec-

tion for additional information.

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

Ag&WARNING: Use minimum speed

and do not crowd the line when cutting around

hard objects (rock, graveI, fence posts, etc.).

which can damage the trimmer head, become

entangled in the Ih_e, 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

the cutting.

WAR NIN G: 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 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 %reid" 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.

• Push and hold the STOP switch in the

STOP position until the engine stops.

TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE

The trimmer line will advance approximately 2

inches (5 cm) each time the bottom of the

trimmer head istapped 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 oper-

ated.

To advance line:

• Operate the engine at full throttle.

• Hold the trimmer head parallel 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 as-

phalt 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 line length.

WARNING: use only 0.080" (2 mm)

diameter line. Other sizes of line will not ad-

Right W_'ong

• The line will easily remove grass and

weeds from around wails, 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 line can

wrap such as small posts, trees or fence

wire.

• Formowingor sweeping, usefullthrottlefor

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

SCALPING - The scalping technique re-

moves unwanted vegetation. Hold the bottom

of the trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm)

above the ground and at an angle. Allow the

tip of the lineto strike the ground around trees,

posts, monuments, etc. This technique in-

creases line wear.

Scalping

SWEEPING - The fanning action of the rotat-

ing line can be used for a quick and easy

clean up. Keep the line parallel to and above

the surfaces being swept and move the tool

from side to side.

Sweeping

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.

INFORMACION UTIL 1

Para obtonor la proporcibn I

correcta de mezcla de I

aceite vierta 3,20nzas de I

aceite eintetico de 2 ciclos I

dentro de gaeolina freeca. J

Este motor est& habilitado para funcionar con

gasolina sin plomo. Antes de comenzar con el

uso, se deber& mezclar la gasolina con un

aceite de sintetico de buena calidad para mo-

tores de 2 tiempos enfriados a aire. Recomen-

damos et aceite de sintetico de la marca Pou-

Ian/WEED EATER. Mezcle la gasolina con el

aceite en la proporci6n 40:1. Se obtiene una

proporci6n de 40:1 mezclando 3,2 onzas (95

ml) de aceite con cada gal6n (4 litros) de gaso-

lina sin ptomo. NO USE aceite para au-

tom6viles ni para barcas. Estos aceites

da[faran el motor. AI mezclar el combustible,

siga las instrucciones impresas en et reci-

piente. Una vez haya afiadido el aceite a la ga-

solina, agite al recipiente brevemente para

asegurar que el combustible este completa-

mente mezclado. Siempre lea y siga las

instrucciones de seguridad que tienen que ver

con el combustible antes de abastecer et apa-

rato.

IMPORTANTE

La experiencia indica que los combustible

mezclados con alcohol (los Ilamados gasohol

o tos que contienen etanol o metanol) pueden

atraer la humedad, Ioque puede causar la se-

paracion y la formacion de _tcidos durante el

almacenaje. La gasolina acida puede dafiar el

sistema de combustible del motor durante el

almacenaje. Para evitar problemas con el mo-

tor, debera vaciarse el sistema de combus-

time antes de almacenar el aparato por 30

dims o mas. Vacie el tanque de combustible,

ponga el motor en marcha y d6jelo en marcha

hasta que las lineas de combustible y el car-

burador queden vaeios. Use combustible

fresco para la pr6xima temporada. Nunca use
