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.  
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  
50 hours of use, we recommend that your  
muffler be serviced or replaced by an autho-  
rized service dealer.  
CUTTING SAFETY  
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.

ASSEMBLY  
ATTACHING SHIELD  
WARNING: If received assembled,  
repeat all steps to ensure your unit is properly  
assembled and all fasteners are secure.  
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.  
Examine parts for damage. Do not use dam-  
aged parts.  
NOTE: If you need assistance or find parts  
missing or damaged, call 1-800-554-6723.  
For proper orientation of shield, see KNOW  
YOUR TRIMMER illustration in OPERATION  
section.  
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.

CHOKE  
The ON/STOP switch is used to stop the  
engine. To stop the engine, push and release  
the engine ON/STOP switch.  
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine  
to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by  
moving the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE  
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.  
follow the safety rules relating to fuel before  
fueling your unit.  
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE  
WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel  
information in the safety rules before you be-  
gin. If you do not understand the safety rules,  
do not attempt to fuel your unit. Call  
1-800-554--6723.  
IMPORTANT  
Experience indicates that alcohol blended  
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or  
methanol) can attract moisture which leads to  
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.  
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. Always read and  
See the STORAGE section for additional in-  
formation.  
HOW TO STOP YOUR UNIT

If the unit still doesn’t start, refer to  
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call  
1-800-554--6723.  
WARNING: Use only 0.080! (2 mm)  
diameter line. Other sizes of line will not ad-  
vance properly and can cause serious injury.  
Do not use other materials such as wire,  
string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during  
cutting and become a dangerous missile that  
can cause serious injury.  
OPERATING POSITION  
CUTTING METHODS  
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  
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 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.  
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 from around 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 throttle for  
a good clean job.  
To stop engine:  
S Release the throttle trigger.  
S Push and release the engine ON/STOP  
switch.  
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.  
Trimming  
To advance line:  
S Operate the engine at full throttle.  
S Hold the trimmer head parallel to and above  
the grassy area.  
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.  
SCALPING -- The scalping technique re-  
moves unwanted vegetation. 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,  
If the line is worn down to 2 inches (5 cm) or  
less, more than one tap will be required to ob- monuments, etc. This technique increases  
tain the most efficient line length.  
line wear.

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.
