FUEL and OIL
The trimmer is shipped without fluids installed. Please refer to your Engine Owner's Manual for detailed fuel and oil instruction.
USING YOUR STRING TRIMMER
• Make sure no one other than the operator is standing near the trimmer while
starting engine or operating string trimmer. Never run engine indoors or in
enclosed, poorly ventilated areas.
WARNING
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. Keep
hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from any moving parts on engine and
string trimmer.
• Be sure trimming area is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which
could damage the string trimmer or engine. Such objects could be accidently
thrown by the trimmer in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the
operator and others.
WARNING
The operation of any string trimmer can result in foreign objects being thrown into
the eyes, which can damage your eyes severely. Always wear safety glasses while
operating the string trimmer, or while performing any adjustments or repairs on
it.
• The string trimmer is designed with the spindle offset to the left side, allowing
the operator to trim along a fence, landscaping, or a house to his or her's right
side without having to make any adjustments to the machine.
• Operate the string trimmer at a slower walking speed when trimming tall,
thick weeds or grass.
• Clean the underside of the trimmer after each use to remove any debris build
up.
WARNING
Shut the engine off and wait until the trimmer spindle comes to a complete stop
before cleaning the discharge area. The spindle continues to rotate for a few
seconds after the control lever is released.

OPERATION
OPERATION TIPS
• Run unit at full operating speed before starting.
• To begin trimming, start the engine, make sure the trimmer head is on the
ground and begin walking slowly.
• The wheels should remain on the ground at all times to prevent undue pressure
on the trimmer head.
• For best results and increased line life, trim using the ends of the line by
moving slowly through thick or heavy weeds.
• When trimming tall and thick weeds or grass, operate the machine at a slower
walking speed.
• Do not trim on excessively steep slopes. Do not trim a slope that is difficult to
stand on. Do not trim on slopes when the ground is slippery.
• If trimmer lines become too short, it will take longer to complete the job. If
trimmer lines are worn to less than half their original length, they should be
replaced. See "REPLACING THE STRING LINE "in the Maintenance section of this
manual.
• We suggest using the string trimmer in dry conditon. Never use it in the rain.
Water on the spark plug may cause the engine to stall.
IMPORTANT: While operating the string trimmer, do not allow the spindle to
contact a concrete, asphalt, or gravel surface. Doing so will result in
premature wear.
