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
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call
1-800-235-5878.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING POSITION
ALWAYS WEAR:
Eye Protection
Lonc
H eav
Cut from your right to your left.
4I_WARNING:
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.
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 right to your left 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.
• Push and release the engine ON/
STOP switch.
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
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 seri-
ous 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.

• The line will easily remove grass
and weeds from around walls,
fences, trees and flower beds, but it
also can cut the tender bark of trees
or shrubs and scar fences.
To help
avoid damage especially
to delicate
vegetation
or trees with tender bark,
shorten line to 4-5 in. (10-13
cm)
and use at less than full throttle.
• For trimming
or scalping,
use less
than full throttle to increase
line life
and decrease
head wear, especially:
