SAFETY RULES  
5. Inspect the area where the machine is to  
OWNER’S INFORMATION  
be used. Your equipment can propel  
small objects at high speed causing per-  
sonal injury or property damage. Stay  
away from breakable objects, such as  
windows, greenhouses, etc.  
Know your product: If you understand the  
unit and how the unit operates, you will get  
the best performance. As you read this manu-  
al, compare the illustrations to the unit. Learn  
the location and the function of the controls.  
To help prevent an accident, follow the oper-  
ating instructions and the safety rules. Keep  
this manual for future reference.  
6. Keep the area of operation clear of all  
persons, particularly small children, and  
pets.  
7. Wear appropriate clothing such as a  
long-sleeved shirt or jacket. Also wear  
long trousers. Do not wear shorts.

13. Use this equipment for its intended pur-  
pose only.  
14. See manufacturer’s instructions for prop-  
er operation and installation of accesso-  
ries. Only use accessories approved by  
the manufacturer.  
1. Read, understand, and follow all instruc-  
tions on the machine and in the manu-  
al(s). Be thoroughly familiar with the  
controls and the proper use of the ma-  
chine before starting.

and down. Do not trim excessively steep  
slopes (maximum 15 degrees) or areas  
where the ground is very rough. Exercise ex-  
treme caution when changing direction on  
slopes.  
control lever and cable. Make sure that  
the cable is free and that the lever is not  
damaged. Also check the cable linkage  
running to the carburetor for kinks, loose  
fittings, and obstructions. Verify that the  
control bail is working properly.  
Do remove objects such as rocks, tree limbs,  
19. Stop the rotating trimmer head when  
crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads.  
Wait for the cutting lines to stop rotating.  
etc.  
Do watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass  
can hide obstacles.  
20. Watch for traffic when operating near, or  
when crossing roads.  
Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches, or em-  
bankments. The operator could lose footing  
or balance.  
21. Stop the engine whenever you leave the  
equipment, before cleaning repairing or  
inspecting the unit, be sure the trimmer  
head and all moving parts have stopped.  
Let the engine cool, disconnect the  
spark plug wire and move it away from  
the spark plug.  
Do not trim on wet grass. Reduced footing  
could cause slipping.  
III. Children  
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is  
not alert to the presence of children. Children  
are often attracted to the machine and the  
trimming activity. Never assume that children  
will remain where you last saw them.  
1. Keep children out of the trimming area  
and under the watchful care of a respon-  
sible adult.  
22. If the equipment should start to vibrate  
abnormally, stop the engine, disconnect  
the spark plug wire and prevent it from  
touching the spark plug. Check immedi-  
ately for the cause. Vibration is generally  
a warning of trouble.  
23. After striking a foreign object, stop the  
engine. Remove the wire from the spark  
plug. Inspect the machine for damage. If  
damaged, repair before starting and op-  
erating the machine.  
2. Be alert and turn machine off if children  
enter the area.  
3. Before and while moving backwards,  
look behind and down for small children.  
4. Never allow children to operate the ma-  
chine.  
5. Use extra care when approaching blind  
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects  
that may obscure vision.  
24. Never leave the machine unattended  
when the engine is running. Remove  
the wire from the spark plug.  
25. Regularly inspect the machine. Make  
sure parts are not bent, damaged or  
loose.  
IV. Service  
1. Use extra care in handling petrol and  
other fuels. They are flammable and va-  
pors are explosive.  
26. Never pick up or carry the machine while  
the engine is running.  
a. Use only an approved container.  
b. Never remove gas cap or add fuel  
with the engine running. Allow en-  
gine to cool before refueling. Do not  
smoke.  
c. Never refuel the machine indoors.  
d. Never store the machine or fuel  
container inside where there is an  
open flame, such as a water heater.  
e. If the fuel tank has to be drained,  
this should be done outdoors. The  
drained fuel should be stored in a  
container specifically designed for  
fuel storage or it should be dis-  
posed of carefully.  
27. Prolonged exposure to noise and vibra-  
tion from petrol engine powered equip-  
ment should be avoided. Take  
intermittant breaks and/or wear ear  
protection from engine noise as well as  
heavy work gloves to reduce vibration in  
the hands.  
II. Slope Operation  
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and  
fall accidents which can result in severe inju-  
ry. All slopes require extra caution. If you feel  
uneasy on a slope, do not trim it.

closed area.  
3. Never make adjustments or repairs with  
the engine running. Disconnect the  
spark plug wire, and keep the wire away  
from the plug to prevent accidental start-  
ing. Always wear eye protection when  
you make adjustments or repairs.  
9. Stop and inspect the equipment if you  
strike an object. Repair, if necessary, be-  
fore restarting.  
4. Check the trimmer head and engine  
mounting bolts at frequent intervals for  
proper tightness.  
5. Keep all nuts and bolts tight and keep  
equipment in good condition. Check  
mounting hardware on trimmer head ev-  
ery time you change trimmer line and  
prior to each use.  
10. Always disconnect spark plug wire be-  
fore cleaning, repairing, or adjusting.  
11. Do not change the engine governor set-  
ting or over-speed the engine.  
12. Clean and replace safety and instruction  
decals as necessary.  
13. To guard against engine over-heating,  
always have engine debris filter  
mounted and clean.  
6. Never tamper with safety devices.  
Check their proper operation regularly.  
7. When servicing or repairing the ma-  
chine, do not tip the machine over or up  
unless specifically instructed to do so in  
this Manual. Service and repair proce-  
dures can be done with the machine in  
an upright position. Some procedures  
will be easier if the machine is lifted on a  
raised platform or working surface.  
14. Inspect machine before storage.  
15. Use only original equipment or autho-  
rised replacement parts.  
16. Never replace the cutting lines with met-  
al parts.

TRIMMER TIPS  
WARNING: Debris such as sticks,  
gravel or stones, can be thrown  
with sufficient force to cause per-  
sonal injury or property damage.  
take longer to complete the job. If the trim-  
mer lines are worn to less than half their  
original length, change to a new trimmer  
line. “See How To Change The Trimmer  
Line” in the Maintenance section.  
S
Set the throttle control in the FAST posi-  
tion. If the weeds or grass are tall and  
thick, operate the machine at a slower  
walking speed.  
S
Do not trim on excessively steep slopes. If  
a slope is difficult to stand on, do not trim.  
Do not trim on slopes when the ground is  
slippery or wet. Trim across the face of a  
slope, not up and down.  
S
S
Frequently clean the underside of the ma-  
chine to remove any grass build up.  
S
STrimming may be done at slower engine  
speeds especially when trimming around  
flowers, shrubs, and small trees. Operat-  
ing at slower speeds will also reduce en-  
gine noise and vibration at the upper  
handle.  
For best results and longer lasting line,  
use the ends of the line to do the cutting.  
This is easily done by moving slowly  
through very thick or heavy weeds.

MAINTENANCE  
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT  
WARNING: Before you inspect, clean or service the machine, stop the engine.  
Make sure that all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the wire from the  
spark plug.  
HOW TO REPLACE THE TRIMMER LINE  
For the best performance, use a heavy  
gauge 3.3mm (0.130” diameter) trimmer  
line. Cut the length of the trimmer line to  
52cm (21.5 inches). Do not allow the length  
of the lines to vary more than one inch. This  
is important to make sure the trimmer head  
is balanced and does not vibrate.  
IMPORTANT: To extend the life of the trim-  
mer line, keep the trimmer line moist. If not  
kept moist, the nylon trimmer line will be-  
come dry and brittle. Keep extra trimmer  
line in a can of water. The line will then stay  
flexible and easy to change. A flexible line  
will also last much longer.  
HOW TO CHANGE TRIMMER LINES  
When the trimmer line becomes worn to half the original length, replace the trimmer line as  
follows:  
Line  
Retainer

sure that the ends of the  
line are even.  
1. Stop the engine. Wait for 4. Next, take the ends of the  
all moving parts to stop.  
line, cross over the line
