• Only use parts and accessories made for this machine by the manufacturer.
Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward
engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains
could result.
• If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good
judgement. Contact Customer Support for assistance or the name of the nearest
service dealer.
SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents, which can result in severe
injury. Operation on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do
not trim on it. For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this manual
to measure slopes before operating this machine on a sloped or hilly area. If the
slope is greater than 15 degrees, do not trim on it.
Do:
• Trim across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes.
• Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to
slip or trip. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury.
If you feel you are losing your balance, release the control lever immediately
and the spindle will stop rotating within three (3) seconds.
Do Not:
• Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches or embankments, you could lose your
footing or balance.
• Do not trim slopes greater than 15 degrees as shown on the slope gauge.
• Do not trim on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children.
Children are often attracted to the string trimmer and the trimming activity. They
do not understand the dangers. Never assume that children will remain where you
last saw them.
• Keep children out of the trimming area and under watchful care of a
responsible adult other than the operator.
• Be alert and turn string trimmer off if a child enters the area.
• Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees,
or other objects that may obscure your vision of a child who may run into the
string trimmer.
• Keep children away from hot or running engines. They can suffer burns from a
hot muffler.
• Never allow children under 14 years of age to operate this machine. Children
14 and over should read and understand the instructions and safe operation
practices in this manual and on the machine and be trained and supervised by
an adult.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
injury can occur when gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes, which can
ignite. Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
• Use only an approved gasoline container.
• Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic
liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before
filling.
• Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the
ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a
portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at
all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
• Never fuel machine indoors because flammable vapors will accumulate in the
area.
• Never remove gas cap or add fuel while engine is hot or running. Allow engine
to cool at least two minutes before refueling.
• Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than 1 inch below bottom of filler
neck to provide for fuel expansion.
• Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
• If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. Move machine to
another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting engine.
• Never store the machine or fuel container near an open flame, spark or pilot
light as on a water heater, space heater, furnace, clothes
• dryer or other gas appliances.
• To reduce fire hazard, keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-
up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel soaked debris.
• Allow machine to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.
