OPERATION
TO START A COLD ENGINE
Lay trimmer on a flat, bare surface.
■
Push primer bulb (46) 8 to 10 times.
■
Note: Do not squeeze the throttle trigger (9) before
engine starts. Squeezing the throttle trigger at this
time will prevent the unit from starting.
Move the lever (47) to the "COLD START" position (48).
■
Pull the starter grip (1) until engine runs.
■
Allow the engine to warm up for 4-10 seconds.
■
Depress the interlock (12) then squeeze and release
■
the throttle trigger. This allows the choke to
automatically set to the "WARM START" position (49).
Your unit is now ready for use.
Note: The lever will automatically set to the "WARM
START" position after the throttle trigger is squeezed
for the first time.
TO START A WARM ENGINE
Lay trimmer on a flat, bare surface.
■
Choke lever should already be in the "WARM START"
■
position. If not, squeeze and release throttle trigger.
Pull the starter rope until unit runs.
TO STOP THE ENGINE
To stop the engine, depress the ignition switch to the
"O" position.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Use only original manufacturer's replacement
parts, accessories and attachments. Failure to
do so can cause possible injury, poor perfor-
mance and may void your warranty.
The cutting attachment must not work in idle mode.
■
If this requirement is not satisfied, the clutch has
to be adjusted or the machine needs an urgent
maintenance by a qualified technician.
You may make adjustments and repairs described
■
here. For other repairs, have the trimmer serviced by
an authorized servicing dealer.
Consequences of improper maintenance may include
■
excess carbon deposits resulting in loss of
performance and discharge of black oily residue
dripping from the muffler.
Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors and handles
■
are properly and securely attached to avoid the risk of
personal injury.

SPOOL REPLACEMENT
EZ LINE™ TAP ADVANCE SYSTEM
NEW PREWOUND SPOOL (Fig. 18 & 19)
If replacing string only, refer to "String Replacement" later
in this manual.
Use only 2.4 mm (.095 in.) diameter monofilament string.
Use the manufacturer's replacement string for best
performance.
Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire.
■
Hold the string head (36) and unscrew the spool
retainer (37). Turn clockwise.
Remove the empty spool (50) from the string head.
■
Keep the spring (54) attached to the spool.
To install the new spool, make sure the two strings
■
are captured in the slots (53) opposite each other
on the new spool. Make sure the ends of each string
is extended approximately 152 mm (6 in.) beyond
each slot.
Thread the strings into the eyelets (51) in the string
■
head. Carefully push the spool into the string head
(gently pull the strings to the outside if necessary).
When the spool is positioned in the string head, grasp
the strings and pull sharply to release them from the
slots in the spool.
Push down and turn the spool counterclockwise until
■
it no longer turns. Hold the spool down and rotate
clockwise a small amount. Release the spool.
The spool should be locked down in the string head.
If not, hold down and rotate until locked.
Make sure the string head and the spool retainer are
■
installed on the shaft (52) by turning the retainer
counterclockwise to tighten.
Pull the strings again to rotate the spool into cutting
■
position. Push the spool retainer down while pulling
on string(s) to manually advance the string and to
check for proper assembly of the string head spool.
Make sure the ends of each string is extended
approximately 152 mm (6 in.) beyond each slot.
STRING REPLACEMENT (Fig. 20-21)
Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire.
■
Hold the string head and unscrew the spool retainer.
Turn clockwise.
Remove the spool from the string head.
■
Note: Keep the spring attached to the spool. Remove
any old string remaining on the spool.
Cut two pieces of string, each being approximately
■
2.7 m (9 ft.) long.
