CUTTING SAFETY  
SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations  
through prolonged use of gasoline powered  
hand tools could cause blood 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.  
WARNING: Inspect the area before  
each use. Remove objects (rocks, broken  
glass, nails, wire, etc.) which can be thrown  
by or become entangled in line. Hard objects  
can damage the trimmer head and be thrown  
causing serious injury.  
S Use only for trimming, scalping, mowing and  
sweeping. Do not use for edging, pruning or  
hedge trimming.  
S Keep firm footing and balance. Do not over-  
reach.  
S Keep all parts of your body away from muffler  
and spinning line. Keep engine below waist  
level. A hot muffler can cause serious burns.  
S Cut from your right to your left. Cutting on left  
side of the shield will throw debris away from  
the operator.  
S Use only in daylight or good artificial light.  
S Use only for jobs explained in this manual.  
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE  
S Allow engine to cool; secure unit before stor-  
ing or transporting in vehicle.  
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. If you  
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

position. After the engine attempts to start, move  
the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.  
Once engine has started, move the choke lever  
to the OFF CHOKE position.  
PRIMER BULB  
The PRIMER BULB removes air from the car-  
buretor and fuel lines and fills them with fuel.  
This allows you to start the engine with fewer  
pulls on the starter rope. Activate the primer  
bulb by pressing it and allowing it to return to  
its original form.  
Always read and follow the safety rules relating  
to fuel before fueling your unit.

separation and formation of acids during stor-  
age. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system  
of an engine while in storage.  
FUELING ENGINE  
To avoid engine problems, empty the fuel sys-  
tem before storage 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 prod-  
ucts in the fuel tank or permanent damage may  
occur. See the STORAGE section for addi-  
tional information.  
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly  
when refueling.  
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 boat 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.  
HOW TO STOP YOUR UNIT  
S To stop the engine, push and release the  
engine ON/STOP switch. The switch will

fuel)  
4. Allow engine to run 15 seconds, then move  
the choke lever to OFF CHOKE.  
NOTE: If engine has not started, pull starter  
rope 5 more pulls. If engine still does not run, it  
is probably flooded.  
Starting Position  
STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE  
Flooded engines can be started by placing  
the choke lever in the OFF CHOKE position;  
then, pull the rope to clear the engine of ex-  
cess fuel. This could require pulling the starter  
handle many times depending on how badly  
the unit is flooded.  
If the unit still doesn’t start, refer to  
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call  
1-800-554-6723.  
1. Set unit on a flat surface.  
2. Slowly press the primer bulb 6 times.

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 “weld” onto the spool.  
7. Pull starter rope sharply until engine runs,  
but no more than 6 pulls.  
NOTE: If the engine doesn’t start after 6  
pulls (at the HALF CHOKE position),  
move the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE  
position and press the primer bulb 6 times.

To stop engine:  
S For trimming or scalping, use less than full  
throttle to increase line life and decrease  
head wear, especially:  
S Release the throttle trigger.  
S Push and release the engine ON/STOP  
switch.  
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 throttle for  
a good clean job.  
TRIMMING -- Hold the bottom of the trimmer  
head about 3 in. (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.  
TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE  
The trimmer line will advance approximately 2  
in. (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 oper-  
ated.  
To advance line:  
S Operate the engine at full throttle.  
S Hold the trimmer head parallel to and above  
the grassy area.  
Trimming  
S Tap the bottom of the trimmer head lightly  
on the ground one time. Approximately 2 in.  
(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.  
3 in. (8 cm)  
Above Ground  
SCALPING -- The scalping technique re-  
moves unwanted vegetationdown 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 increases line wear.  
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 and shapes of line  
will not advance properly and will result in im-  
proper cutting head function or can cause se-  
rious injury. Do not use other materials such  
as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off  
during cutting and become a dangerous mis-  
sile that can cause serious injury.  
Scalping  
CUTTING METHODS  
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.  
WARNING: Use minimum speed  
and do not crowd the line when cutting around  
hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.),  
which can damage the trimmer 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 mini-  
mum line wear by not crowding the line into  
the cutting area. The right and wrong ways  
are shown below.  
Mowing  
Tip of the Line  
Line Crowded Into  
Does The Cutting Work Area  
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.  
Wrong  
Swee
S 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. To  
help avoid damage especially to delicate  
vegetation or trees with tender bark,  
shorten line to 4--5 in. (10--13 cm) and use  
at less than full throttle.
