STARTING
A FLOODED
ENGINE
Flooded
engines
can be started by
placing the ON/OFF switch in the ON
position and pulling the starter handle
repeatedly
while squeezing
throttle
trigger until engine starts and runs.
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 the
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call
1-800-235-5878.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING POSITION
Eye
Protection
%
Cut from your left to your right.
_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.
• Keep unit below waist level.
• Cut only from your left to your right 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.
• Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF
position.
TWIST AND EDGE
The Twist and Edge feature allows for
easy edging of sidewalks,
patios,
driveways,
etc.
1. Pull the tab toward the engine.
2. Twist the tube to the edging posi-
tion; release tab.

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.
_!_ 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.
