WARNINg:
When servicing, use only identical Homelite replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
WARNINg:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection.
Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into
your eyes and other possible serious injuries.
WARNINg:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,
shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from spark
plug. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
serious personal injury or property damage.
gENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, lubricant, grease, etc.
WARNINg:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating lubricants, etc., come in con-
tact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
You can often make adjustments and repairs described here.
For other repairs, have the trimmer serviced by an authorized
service dealer.

CLEANINg THE EXHAUST PORT
Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount
of lubricant used, and/or your operating conditions, the
exhaust port may become blocked with carbon deposits.
If you notice a power loss with your gas powered tool, you
may need to remove these deposits to restore performance.
We highly recommend that only qualified service technicians
perform this service.
SPARK ARRESTOR
The spark arrestor must be replaced every 50 hours or yearly
to ensure proper performance of the product. Spark arres-
tors may be in different locations depending on the model
purchased. Please contact the nearest service dealer for the
location of the spark arrestor for your model.
