CHOKE

The choke helps to supply fuel to the carburetor during starting. This allows you to start a c0ld engine. Activate the choke by moving the choke lever to the Full position. After the engine has started, move choke to the Off position.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel

information in the safety rules before you begin. If you do not understand

the safety rules, do not attempt to fuel

your unit. Call the 1-800 number listed

on the front of this manual.

FUELING ENGINE

This engine is certified to0perate on unleaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be mixed with a good quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil.

We recommend Craftsman brand oil.

Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1

(A 40:I ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2

ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded

gasoline). DO NOT USE automotive oil

or boat oi!. These oils will cause

engine damage. When mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on container.

Once oil is added to gasoline, shake

Container momentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.

IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage.

Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

To avoid engine problems, empty fuel system before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain gas tank, start engine and let it run until fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.

5

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

Set unit on a flat surface.

Starting Position

Slowly press the primer bulb 6 times.

Move knob to FULL choke position.

Knob

Cut from your right I left.

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 hold the engine stop switch in the STOP or OFF position until the unit has fully stopped.

advanced with each tap.

To advance line, tap bottom of trimmer head on ground one time.

Line limiter cuts line proper length.

:

Always tap the trimmer head on a grassy area. Tapping on surfaces such as concrete or asphalt can cause excessive wear to the trimmer head,

If line is wom down to 2 in. (5 cm) or less, more than one tap will be required to obtain the most efficient line length.

WARNING: Use only .080" (2 mm) diameter line. Other sizes of line wil!

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 seriou s injury.

_ ::

For trimming or scalping, use less than full throttle to increase line life ; and decrease head wear, especially:

During light duty cutting.

• Near 0bjectsaround which the line can wrap such as small posts, trees or fence wire.

For mowingor sweeping,use full throttle for a"good clean job.

WARNING::AIways wear eye protection. Never lean over the trimmer head.

Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into eyes and face and cause blindness or other serious injury.

TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 in. (8 cm) above the ground and at an angle. Allow only the tip of the line to make contact. Do not force trimmer line into work area.

Trimming

SCALPING - The scalping technique removes unwanted vegetation. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 in. (8 cm) above the ground and at an angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike the ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc. This technique increases line wear.

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

MOWING - Your trimmer is ideal for mowing in places conventional lawn mowers cannot reach. In the mowing position, keep the line parallel to the ground. Avoid pressing the head into the ground as this can scalp the ground and damage the too!.

gine is running at full_speed. A metal blade attached to the shield wilt cut the line to the proper length.

REPLACING THE LINE

, Remove the spool by firmly pulling on the tap button.

• Clean entire surface of hub and spool.

Replace with a pre-wound spool, or

cut a length of 20 feet of .080" (2 ram) diameter Craftsman® Pro Trimmer line. Never use wire, rope, string, etc.,

which can break off and become a

dangerous missile.
