STARTING
AFLOODED
ENGINE
Flooded engines can bestarted by
pulling the starter handle repeatedly
while squeezing
throttle trigger until
engine starts and runs. This could re-
quire pulling the starter handle many
times, depending
on how badly the
unit is flooded.
if the unit still doesn't start, refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call
1-800-235-5878.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
To maximize
operating
efficiency,
do
not run the engine for longer than 1
minute
at a time at full throttle.
OPERATING
POSITION
ALWAYS WEAR:

Long pants__
Heovy

Out from your right to y
left,
Eye protection

dt_WARNING:
Always wear eye
protection. 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.
When operating
unit, stand as shown
and check for the following:
• Wear eye protection
and heavy
clothing.
• Hold trigger handle with right hand
and assist handle with left hand.
• Hold unit so that engine is below
waist level.
• Cut only from your right to your left to
ensure debris is thrown away from
you. Without bending over, keep line
near and parallel to the ground and
not crowded into material being cut.
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.
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 cutting head advances
line au-
tomatically.
Do not tap head on the
ground to advance
line. This may
break parts and cause cutting head to
malfunction.
Upon unit start up, the line
will advance automatically to the correct
cutting path length. Always
keep the
shield in place when the tool is being
operated.
_L, WARNING:
Use only 0.080
inch (2 ram) diameter
round
line.
Other sizes and shapes
of line will not
advance
properly and will result in im-
proper cutting 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 perform-
ance and minimum
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.
