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

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  
enginewhile instorage. Toavoid engineprob-  
lems, empty the fuel system before storage  
for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start  
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and

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

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.  
3 inches (8 cm)

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.
