HELPFUL TIP  
To obtain the correct oil mix  
ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of  
2-cycle synthetic oil into  
one gallon of fresh gas.  
Starting position  
This engine is certified to operate on un-  
leaded 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 gaso-  
line and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is ob-  
tained by mixing3.2ounces (95 ml) of oil with1  
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 oncontainer. Once  
oil is added to gasoline, shake container mo-  
mentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly  
mixed. Always read and follow the safety  
rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS  
This engine requires the use of minimum 87  
octane [R+M]/2 clean gasoline.  
IMPORTANT  
Use of alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or  
using ethanol or methanol) can cause major en-  
gine performance and durability problems.  
WARNING: Alternative fuels (not gas-  
oline) such as E--15 (15% alcohol), E--20 (20%  
alcohol), E--85 (85% alcohol) are NOT classified  
as gasoline and are NOT approved for use in  
2--stroke gasoline engines. Use of alternative  
fuels will cause problems such as: improper  
clutch engagements, overheating, vapor lock,  
power loss, lubrication deficiency, deterioration  
of fuel lines, gaskets and internal carburetor  
components, etc. Alternative fuels cause high  
moisture absorption into the fuel/oil mixture  
leading to oil and fuel separation.

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.  
OPERATING POSITION  
ALWAYS WEAR:  
Hearing  
Protection  
Eye Protection  
WARNING: Use only 0.095(2.4  
mm) diameter line. Other sizes of line will not  
advance properly and can cause serious  
injury. Do not use other materials such as  
wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off dur-  
ing cutting and become a dangerous missile  
that can cause serious injury.  
Long Pants  
CUTTING METHODS  
Heavy shoes  
WARNING: Use minimum speed  
and do not crowd the line when cutting around  
hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.),  
whichcandamage the trimmer head, become  
entangled in the line, or be thrown causing a  
serious hazard.  
Cut only from your left to your right.  
S The tip of the line does the cutting. You will  
achieve the best performance and mini-  
mum line wear by not crowding the line into  
the cutting area. The right and wrong ways  
are shown below.  
WARNING: 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.  
Tip of the line  
Line crowded into  
work area.  
When operating unit, stand as shown and  
does the cutting.  
check for the following:  
S Wear eye protection and heavy clothing.  
S Hold trigger handle with your right hand and  
assit handle with left hand.  
S Keep unit below waist level.  
S Cut only from your left to your right to  
ensure debris is thrown away from you.  
Without bending over, keep line near and  
parallel to the ground and not crowded into  
material being cut.  
Right  
Wrong  
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.  
S The line will easily remove grass and  
weeds fromaround walls, fences, trees and  
flower beds, but it also can cut the tender  
bark of trees or shrubs and scar fences.  
S For trimming or scalping, use less than full  
throttle to increase line life and decrease  
head wear, especially:  
S During light duty cutting.  
S Near objects around which the line can wrap  
such as small posts, trees or fence wire.  
S For mowing or sweeping, use full throttlefor  
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.  
To stop engine:  
S Release the throttle trigger.  
S Push and release the engine ON/STOP  
switch.  
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.  
Trimming  
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:  
S Operate the engine at full throttle.  
S Hold the trimmer head parallel to andabove  
the grassy area.  
S 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.  
3 inches (8 cm)  
above ground

SCALPING -- The scalping technique removes  
unwanted vegetation down to the ground. Hold  
the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 in. (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 in-  
creases line wear.  
Mowing  
Scalping  
SWEEPING -- The fanning action of the rotat-  
ing line canbe used to blow away loose debris  
from an area. Keep the line parallel to and  
above the area surface and swing 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.  
MAINTENANCE  
S Debris Shield -- Discontinue use of unit if  
debris shield is damaged.  
WARNING: Disconnect the spark  
plug before performing maintenance except  
for carburetor adjustments.  
INSPECT AND CLEAN UNIT AND DE-  
CALS  
S After each use, inspect complete unit for  
loose or damaged parts. Clean the unit and  
decals using a damp cloth with a mild deter-  
gent.  
HELPFUL TIP  
IMPORTANT: Have all  
repairs other than the rec-  
ommended maintenance  
S Wipe off unit with a clean dry cloth.  
CLEAN AIR FILTER  
A dirty air filter decreases engine perform-  
ance and increases fuel consumption and  
harmful emissions. Always clean after every  
5 hours of operation.  
1. Clean the cover and the area around it to  
keep dirt from falling into the carburetor  
chamber when the cover is removed.  
2. Remove parts by pressing button to re-  
lease air filter cover.
