STARTING
A FLOODED
ENGINE
Flooded engines can be started by placing the
choke lever in the RUN position; then, pull the
rope to clear the engine of excess
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.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended
that the engine
not be
operated
for longer than 1 minute
at full
throttle.
OPERATING
POSITION
ALWAYS WBAR:_
_
Eye protection
Heavy shoes
Cut from your right to your left.
A
WAR NIN G: Alwayswear
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 %reid" onto the spool.
Always release the throttle trigger and allow the
engine to return to idle speed when not cutting.
To stop engine:
• Release
the throttle
trigger.
• Push
and hold the STOP
switch
in the
STOP position
until the engine stops.
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 fuli 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 0.080"
(2 mm)
diameter
line. Other sizes of line will not ad-
vance properly
and will result in improper
cut-
ting head function or 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.
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.
• 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 wails, 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.
• Near objects
around
which the line can
wrap such as small posts, trees or fence
wire.
• Formowingorsweeping,

a good clean job.
TRIMMING
- Hold the bottom of the trimmer
head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground
and at an angle. Ailow only the tip of the line to
make contact.
Do not force trimmer
line into
work area.
