BLADE
THRUST
IS a reaction that only occurs
when using a bladed unit. This reaction can cause
serious injury such as amputation. Carefully study
this section. Itis importantthat you understandwhat
causes blade thrust,how you can reducethe chance
of it occurring, and how you can remain in controlof
the unit if blade thrustoccurs.
WHAT CAUSES BLADE
THRUST?
Blade Thrustcanoccurwhen thespinningbladecontacts an object that it does not cut. This contact
causes the bladeto stop for an instantand then suddenlymove or "thrust"away fromthe objectthatwas
hit.The "thrusting" reaction can be violentenough to
cause the operator to be propelled in any direction
and Josecontrolotthe unit. The uncontrolledunitcan
cause sedous injuryif the blade contacts the operator or others.
WHEN DOES BLADE THRUST OCCUR?
Blade thrust can occur without warning if the blade
snags, stalls, or binds. This ismore likelyto occurin
areas where it isdifficultto see the matedal beingcut.
By using the unit properly, the occurrenceof blade
thrustwill be reduced and the operator will be less
likelyto lose control.
The forward tip on the metal bladeshieldhelpsto reduce the occurrence of blade thrustbut cannot prevent the occurrence. The operator must follow all
warnings and safety instructionsin this manual to
lessen the chance of blade thrustoccurringand to
maintain controlof unit if the reactiondoes occur.

ENGINE OIL
CRAFTSMAN 40:1 2-cycle engine oii (AIR-COOLED) is
strongly recommended. This oil is specially blended with
fuel stabilizersfor increased fuel stability(extends fuel life
up to 5 times longer) and reduced smoke.
BE SURE TO READ THE FUEL SAFETY
WARNING:
INFORMATION IN THE SAFETY RULES
SECTION ON PAGE 2 OF THIS MANUAL
BEFORE YOU BEGIN.
If CRAFTSMAN
40:1 2-cycle engine oil (AIR-COOLED)
is not available,
use a good quality 2-cycle engine oil
(AIR-COOLED) that has a recommended fuel mix ratio of
40:t,
IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND
THE FUEL
SAFETY SECTION DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
FUEL YOUR UNIT; SEEK HELP FROM
SOMEONE
WHO DOES UNDERSTAND
THE FUEL SAFETY SECTION
OR CALL
THE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE-HOTLINE
AT 1-800-235-5878.
IMPORTANT! Do no use:
• AUTOMOTIVE OIL
• BOAT OILS (NMMA, BIA, etc.)
GASOLINE
The two-cycle engine on this product requires a fuel mixture of regular unleadedgasoline and a high quality 40:1
2-cycle engine oil (AIR-COOLED) for lubrication of the
bearings and other movingparts.The correct fuel/oil mixture is 40:1 (see Fuel Mixture Chart). Too little oil or the
incorrect oil type will cause poor performance and may
cause the engine to overheatand seize.
Gasoline and oil must be premixed in a clean approved
fuel container. Always use fresh regular unleaded gasoline.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.
IMPORTANT: Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels called gasohol (or using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture, which leads to oil/gas separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage, To
avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas
tank, then run the fuel out of the carburetor and fuel lines
by starting the engine and letting it run until it stops.Use
fresh fuel next season. See STORAGE instructions for
additional information. Never use engine or carburetor
cTeanerproducts in the fuel tank or permanent damage
may occur,
These oils do not have proper additives for 2-cycle AIRCOOLED engines and can cause engine damage.
GASOLINE AND OIL MIXTURE
Mix gasolineand oi! as follows:
° Consuifchart for correct quantities.
• Do not mix gasoline and oil directly in the unit's fuel
tank.
FOR ONE GALLON:
• Pour 3.2 ounces of high quality, 40:1 2-cycle engine oit
(AIR-COOLED) into an empty, approved one gallon
gasoline container.
• Add one gallon of regular unleaded gasoline to the gallon container, then securely replace thecap.
• Shake the container.
• The mixture is now ready for use. Fuel stabilizer can be
added at this time if desired; follow mixing instructions
on the label.

FUEL STABILIZER
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing
the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the fuel tank or storage container. Always
follow the fuel mix ratiofound on the stabilizer container.
Run engine at least 5 minutesafter adding stabilizer to
ailow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. You do not
have to drain the fuet tank for storage if you are using
fuel stabilizer.
CRAFTSMAN 40:1 2-cycle engine oil (AIR-COOLED) is
specially blended with fuel stabilizers. If you do not use
this Sears oil, you can add a fuel stabilizer (such as
CRAFTSMAN No.33500) to your fuel tank.

TECHNIQUES
(Fig. 20, 21, 22 & 23)
• TRIMMING - Allow only the tip of Ihe line to make contact. Do not force trimmerline into work area.
For trimming or scalping, use partial throttleto increase
line lie, especiaty:
- during lightduty cutting.
-near objectsaround which the line can wrap or wear
line such as small posts, trees, fence .wireor concrete,
The line will easily remove grass and weeds from around
wals, fences, trees and flower beds; but, it also can cul
the tender bark of trees or shrubs and scar fences. To
help avoid damage espec;aly to delicate vegetation or
trees with tender bark, shorten line to 4-5 inches and use
at partial throttle.
The tip of the line does the cutting. You wil! achieve the
best performance and minimum line wear by not crowding the line into cutling area.
Always release throttle trigger and aEIowengine to return
to idle speed when not cutting.
Hold bottom of the semi-automatic head about 3 inches
above ground and at an angle.

• Clean the entire unit.
• Clean air filter. Refer to =Customer Responsibilities".
• Open the semi-automatic line head assembly and
clean any dirt, grass or debds that has collected.
• Inspect the cutting line. Old cutting line may be chalky
or sticky to the touch. Remove and discard old line
and installfresh new line.
• Lightly oil external metal surfaces to prevent rust Irom
forming.
• If your unit is equippedwith a blade, remove it from the

FUEL SYSTEM
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur to fuel system components.
Followthese instructions:
• Drain the fuel from the unit into an approved fuel container.
• Drain the fuel lines and carburetor by starting the
: engine and letting it run until it stops.
• Allow the engine to cool before storage.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage.
Also, experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels,
those that use ethanol or methanol (called gasohol or
oxygenated fuel), can attract moisture and form acidic
gas which will damage your engine. To avoid engine
problems, the fuel system should be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer.
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing
the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to the gasoline in the fuel tank or fuel storage
container. Always follow the mix instructions found on
stabilizer containers. Run engine at least 5 minutes after
adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor.
CRAFTSMAN 40:1 2-cycle engine oil (AIR-COOLED) is
specially blended with fuel stabilizer.If you do not use this
Sears oil, you can add a fuel stabilizer (such as CRAFTSMAN No, 33500) to your fuel tank.
INTERNAL ENGINE
• Remove spark plug and pour 1 teaspoon of 40:1 2-cycle
engine oil (AIR-COOLED) through the spark plug opening. Slowly pull the starter rope 8 to 10 times to distribute oil to Inner engine surfaces.
• Replacespark plugwith a new one of the recommended
type and heat range. Referto "Product Specifications".
• Clean air filter. Refer to "Customer Responsibilities".
• Re-install all covers and hardware removed for
access; tighten all screws and fasteners.
• Check entire unit for loose screws, nuts, and bolts.
Replace any damaged, broken, or worn parts.
• Lightlyoil extemal metal surface to prevent rust from
forming.
• Use fresh fuel having the proper gasoline to oil ratio at
the beginningof the next season.
OTHER
- Do not store gasolinefrom one season to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your fuel system will cause problems.
• Store your unit in a well ventilated area and covered, if
possible, to prevent dust and dirt accumulation. Do not
cover with plastic. Plastic cannot breathe and will
induce condensationand eventual rust or corrosion.
IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER UNIT WHILE ENGINE
AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
