NOTICE:
Do not use E15 or E85 fuel in this product. It is a vio-
lation of federal law and will damage the unit and void
your warranty. Only use unleaded gasoline containing

OPERATING THE POWER HEAD
See Figure 5.
Engine housing can become hot during power head
operation. Do not rest or place your arm, hand, or any
body part against the engine housing during power head
operation. Only hold the power head with all body parts
clear of engine housing. Extended contact with the engine
housing could result in burns or other injuries.
Always position the unit on the operator's right side. The
use of the unit on the operator's left side will expose the
user to hot surfaces and can result in possible burn injury.
LUBRICANT
2.6 oz. (76 ml)
6.4 oz. (189 ml)
To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate unit with
the bottom of the engine above waist level.
Hold the power head with your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip
with both hands while in operation. Power head should be
held at a comfortable position with the rear handle about
hip height. See figure 5 for proper operation position with
trimmer attachment installed.
Always operate power head at full throttle. If debris becomes
wrapped around the attachment, STOP THE ENGINE, dis-
connect the spark plug wire, and remove the debris. Pro-
longed use at partial throttle will result in lubricant dripping
from the muffler.
Always hold the attachment away from the body keeping
clearance between the body and the product. Any contact
with the attachment cutting head can result in burns and/
or other serious personal injury.
