3.
Pull starter rope sharply until engine runs,
but no more than 5 pulls.
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
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.

unit
still
doesn't

TRIMMER
LINE ADVANCE
The trimmer line will advance approximately
2
inches (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:
• Operate the engine at full throttle.
• Hold the trimmer head parallel to and above
the grassy area.
• 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 asphalt
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.
_WARNING:
Use only 0.065" (1.65
mm) diameter line. Other sizes and shapes of
line will not advance properly and will result in
improper cutting head function or can cause
serious
injury. Do not use other materials
such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break
oft during cutting
and become
a dangerous
missile that can cause serious injury.

Cut from your fight to your left.
_ 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 CL_ting line will CL_ 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 CL_ting.
TO stop engine:
• Release the throttle trigger.
• Push and release the engine
ON/STOP
switch.

BWARNIN_5:
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.
• 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.

• 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 inches (10-13
cm) and
use at less than full throttle.
• For trimming or scalping,
use less than full
throttle to increase
line life and decrease
head wear, especially:
• During light duty cutting.
