SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations
through prolonged use of gasoline powered
hand tools could cause bloodvessel or nerve
damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of
people prone to circulation disorders or ab-
normal swellings. Prolonged use in cold
weatherhas beenlinked toblood vessel dam-
agein otherwisehealthy people. Ifsymptoms
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 4442and 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
equippedwithaspark arrestingscreen. Ifyou

ist, you arelegally responsible formaintaining
the operatingcondition of theseparts. Failure
to do so is a violation of the law. For normal
homeowneruse, themuffler andspark 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.

ASSEMBLY
ATTACHING SHIELD
WARNING: If received assembled,
repeatall steps to ensure your unit is properly
assembled and all fasteners are secure.
Examine parts for damage. Do not use dam-
aged parts.
WARNING: The shield must be prop-
erly installed. The shield provides partial protec-
tion to the operator and others from the risk of
thrown objects, and is equipped with a line limit-
er blade which cuts excess line to the proper
length. The line limiter blade (on underside of
shield) is sharp and can cut you.
For proper orientation of shield, see KNOW
YOUR TRIMMER illustration in OPERATION
section.
NOTE: If you need assistance or find parts
missing or damaged, call 1-800-554-6723.
It is normal for the fuel filter to rattle in the
empty fuel tank.
Finding fuel or oil residue on muffler is normal
due to carburetor adjustments and testing
done by the manufacturer.

can attract moisture which leads to separa-
tion and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an

lems, empty the fuel system before storage
for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start

HELPFUL TIP
To obtain the correct oil mix
ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of
2--cycle synthetic oil 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 ml) of oil with 1 gallon (4
liters) of unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE
automotive oil or marine oil. These oils will

CUTTING METHODS
ALWAYS WEAR:

WARNING: Use minimum speed
anddo not crowdthe line whencuttingaround
hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.),
whichcandamagethetrimmer head,become
entangled in the line, or be thrown causing a
serious hazard.
S 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.

Cut from your left to your right.
WARNING: Always wear eyeprotec-
tion. Never lean over the trimmer head.
Rocks ordebris canricochet orbe throwninto
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.
To stop engine:
S Release the throttle trigger.
S Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF posi-
tion.
Right
Wrong
S The line will easily remove grass and
weedsfrom aroundwalls, 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, usefull throttlefor
a good clean job.
TRIMMING -- Hold the bottom of the trimmer
head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground
andat an angle. Allow only the tip of the line to
make contact. Do not force trimmer line into
work area.
TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE
Thetrimmerline will advance approximately2
inches (5 cm) each time the bottom of the
trimmer headis tappedon the groundwith the
engine running at full throttle.
The most efficient line length is the maximum
lengthallowed by the line limiter. Always keep
theshield in place whenthe tool is beingoper-
ated.
imming
To advance line:
S Operate the engine at full throttle.
S Hold the trimmer headparallel 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.
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.

SCALPING -- The scalping technique re-
moves unwantedvegetation.Hold the bottom
of the trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm)
above the ground and at an angle. Allow the
tipoftheline tostrike thegroundaroundtrees,
posts, monuments, etc. This technique in-
creases line wear.
WARNING: Use only 0.080! (2 mm)
diameter line. Other sizes of line will not ad-
vance properly and can cause serious injury.

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.
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.
