STARTING A WARM ENGINE
1. Move the choke lever to the HALF
CHOKE position.
2. Squeeze and hold the throttle trig-
ger. Keep throttle trigger fully
squeezed until the engine runs
smoothly.
3. Pull starter rope sharply untilengine
runs, but no more than 5 pulls.
4. Allow engine to run 15 seconds,
then move the choke lever to the
OFF CHOKE position.
NOTE: If engine has not staded, pull
starter rope 5 more pulls. If engine still
does not run, it is probably flooded.
STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE
Flooded engines can be started by
placing the choke lever in the OFF
CHOKE position; then, pull the rope to
clear the engine of excess fuel. 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

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended
that the engine
not be operated
for longer than 1
minute
at full throttle.
OPERATING
POSITION
ALWAYS WEAR:
Eye Protection
Long Pants
Heavy Shoes
Cut from your right to your left.
'AWARNING:
Always wear eye
protection. Never lean over the trim-
mer head. Rocks or debris can rico-
chet or be thrown into eyes and face
and cause blindness or other serious
injury.
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 throttletrigger.
• Push and release the engine ON/
STOPswitch.
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 trimmer line will advance approxi-
r_ataly 2 in. (5 cm) each time the bot-
tom of the trimmer head is tapped on
the ground with the engine running at
full throttle.The most efficient line
length is the maximum length allowed
by the line limiter.
Always keep the shield in place when
the tool is being operated.
To advance line:
• Operate the engine at full throttle.
• Hold the trimmerhead parallelto and
above the grassyarea.
• Tap the bottom of the trimmerhead
lightlyon the groundone time. Ap-
proximately2 in. (5 cm) of line willbe
advancedwith each tap.

headon ground one time.
Line limiter cuts
proper length.
7
Always tap the trimmer head on a
grassy area.
Tapping
on surfaces such
as concrete or asphalt can cause ex-
cessive wear to the trimmer head.
If the line is worn down to 2 in. (5 crn) or
less, more than one tap will be required
to obtain the most efficient line length.
_kWARNING:
Use only 0.080"
(2 ram) diameter
line. Other sizes of
line will not advance
properly
and 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.
